Meet Cobey, an Emerging Advocate

Introduction by Rebecca Lazo: I met Cobey at the New Jersey Inclusive College Summit in 2022. He was on a panel with other students from TCNJ and Bergen Community College. I was very impressed with Cobey. He spoke very well, and shared how he had advocated for himself on campus. I was so impressed that I asked him to write something for our TPSID Annual Report (see page 28 of the report). I kept in touch with Cobey since then because I wanted to follow his story, especially to see how his advocacy skills might benefit him. He shares his story below about how things are going for him at TCNJ, and the best news? Cobey and a teammate from TCNJ applied for the 2025 Think College Policy Advocates and they were selected! This will be a perfect opportunity for Cobey to grow his advocacy skills.

Throughout the semester there are sessions promoting self-esteem, teamwork, physical activities, coping techniques, social skills and stress reduction, among others. Nursing students get experience with a population they will likely need to serve in their careers, and the CCS students have an opportunity to better integrate with peers outside their program and more fully engage in campus life.
