Kapoor is a member of Delta Mu Delta, a business honor society, and has also received the Lester H. Clee Scholarship and the Deans’ Scholarship Award, which are given to students who have demonstrated academic excellence, community service, and leadership capacity. |

While attending classes full-time, Kapoor has worked for the Advanced
Technology Institute (ATI) on campus as an exam proctor; participated in
the BEST program (Bloomfield Employment Student Team); served as a peer
mentor tutor; and was selected to be the first ever Bloomfield College
representative on the Student Advisory Committee (SAC), a New Jersey
Higher Education advocacy program for student financial aid. As a peer
mentor tutor, Kapoor organized English and mathematic remedial workshops
and tutored fellow students.
Last summer, Kapoor worked as an intern at TMP Worldwide, the parent company of Monster.com. She considers her co-curricular activities to be an integral part of her education. “College needs to be more than just academics,” said Kapoor. “Everything you do helps shape you and makes you better.” Datatel, Inc. is a leading provider of information management solutions for higher education.
