DP Solutions donated 30 laptops to senior class students enrolled in Baltimore City's National Academy Foundation (NAF) High School Academy of Information Technology earlier this month.
Gerald Markowitz, Business Development Manager at DP Solutions, who also sits on the IT Academy's Advisory Board, was responsible for spearheading this project.
"By putting high-end technology in the hands of these students, we help create a unique and modern IT experience for them, as well as attracting new students to the school and increasing enrollment in the IT program," says Markowitz. "It is through the participation of professionals like us that these deserving young people will have the mentoring, job experiences and support they need to succeed."
"DP Solutions' donation will directly support our students, furthering their IT education and providing them with technology necessary to be successful in higher education," Karen Webber-Ndour, Principal at National Academy High School, says. "More than that, DP Solutions' support and generosity tells our students that there are people outside of their high school that care about their success. NAF demands professionalism from its students in preparation for post secondary education and the competitive 21st century workplace. However, we cannot do this in isolation. It is only through partnerships and support from people like DP Solutions that we are able to accomplish our vision."
"DP Solutions' contribution has been put to work to help NAF fulfill its mission � to prepare students to succeed to their fullest potential by enabling them to enter the college and/or career of their choice," continues Ms. Webber-Ndour.
