Music (with a Twist)
As you know we normally don't showcase music on our page, but in today's industry it's very rare for a music artist to boast the fact that they graduated from college. New Artist Dee Goodz did just and is quoted, “Well, I’m not Kanye West hence the name, ‘College Dropout’. I didn’t drop out, I graduated but I did feel that whole mentality at one time.”

And the Winner Is.............
Back in February of this year a mentor of the CAN family passed away. As a result the “On the Move Scholarship” was renamed the “Rev. Richard G. Stewart Memorial Scholarship.”
In addition to his pastoral duties Rev. Stewart was a community servant who oversaw the Central City Café (Buffalo, NY) a soup kitchen who provides some 100,000 meals to those in need. He used the soup kitchen to not only feed but also encourage the patrons, often assisting them in getting re-acclimated to the community. It’s because of the mentoring received from Rev. Stewart and men like him that CAN was eventually formed.
To be eligible for the “Rev. Richard G. Stewart Memorial Scholarship” a student must have been a high school senior:
• Accepted to College
• Minimum “B” average
• Active member in his/her church
• Active in community service projects
(Pictured: Mr. Stanford and scholarship recipient Damoni'Hall)
On June 6, 2010 the “Rev. Richard G. Stewart Memorial Scholarship” was presented to Damoni’ Hall a graduating senior from Lackawanna High School (Lackawanna, NY). This fall he will begin studies for a degree in Computer Aided Design/Drafting (CAD) at Alfred State College. His resume includes the student council, varsity basketball, varsity track & field, church audio ministry, and church newspaper ministry. Damoni’ completed community services projects at the Lackawanna Youth Community office and Computers for Children. Additionally he received the Diversity Day of Connection Leadership award from Erie 1 Boces Harkness Center.

New Student Social Website
Ladies & Gentlemen a childhood friend of the CAN family has just started a new website for students, please check it out www.studentbs.com
studentBS.com is a student social website, founded by Aaron Clanton (graduate student), and launched in January of 2010 as the one-stop spot for all things cool and informative that impact students. Frustrated with the lack of real, relevant and relatable information available to students, studentBS was created to be the social platform where cool topics are discussed, student specific information is posted and student empowerment is encouraged.

Just our thoughts
Myth: College isn't for everybody
CAN Thoughts: You have been a student for as long as you can remember, why stop now? You may decide that spending the next 4 years in college isn't something that appeals to you and that's fine, but you must get some education or training post high school in order to be successful nowadays. We found college to be the place "where the rubber meets the road" it was there we truly learned how to successfully manage relationships, time, and money. Not to mention that if you go directly into the workforce (not as entrepreneur) rather than college many of your peers will have better paying jobs when they graduate in four years.
