As a college student at Rider University, I was accepted to the university through the Educational Opportunity Program, or EOP. The EOP program is for students who are New Jersey residents, are going to attend a four-year college within New Jersey, and demonstrate extraordinary academic talent who might not be able to attend college due to financial reasons.
The summer of my freshman year I was required to attend a five week program for EOP students at Rider University where I took four courses: Speech Communications, Expository Writing, Race, Class, and Gender, and Strategies for Success. These four classes I continued to take into my Freshman year.

About Me
- Kelly Leacock
- My name is Kelly Leacock and I am a freshman attending Rider University. I am pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with minors in both Sociology and French. While in college I hope to study abroad in France in order to further develop my language skills, and also take Spanish courses to become acquainted with the language. Upon graduation I intend on entering graduate school in order to obtain a Master’s Degree in Developmental Psychology with a concentration in Child Development. On a more personal note, I would love to learn Spanish and Italian, and I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and sitting down to enjoy reading a good book. My weekends consist of writing poetry and fiction novels, and on Sundays I attend church. I love kids and the elderly and I am a firm believer in doing the right thing.
