Jeannette Krieger Mytelka Memorial Award

BACKGROUND: Jeannette Krieger Mytelka taught seventh and eighth grade English in the Jersey City public schools. “Before others recognized the need, she introduced Black writers and poets in her classroom," says her son Arnold Mytelka. "She was an excellent, professional teacher. Many teachers had discipline problems, my mom never did.” Arnold Mytelka served as chairman of the Ramapo College Board of Trustees from 1979 to 1980. At his mother's death in 1983, Mr. Mytelka created this endowed scholarship to memorialize Jeannette’s love of education and teaching. The Mytelka scholarships are intended to benefit seniors with financial need who have completed three years at Ramapo College.
