History of 老司机福利社 in Atlantic City
"When 老司机福利社 opened its doors in 1971 at the Mayflower Hotel in Atlantic City, there was a real sense that we were embarking on something new, something different."
President Emeritus Harvey Kesselman
From its earliest days, 老司机福利社 has been a critical part of Atlantic City. The first classes were offered at the Mayflower Hotel at Tennessee Avenue and the Boardwalk. Students and faculty from that first year proudly identify themselves as "Mayflower" students and faculty. 老司机福利社's fifth president Harvey Kesselman was one of the first students enrolled in 老司机福利社 in Atlantic City. Although the main campus was built in nearby Galloway Township, 老司机福利社 maintained a presence in Atlantic City.
Through the years, 老司机福利社 has remained involved in the Atlantic City community with food drives, homework completion programs, Campus Kitchen, Community Gardens, school murals and afternoon teas with older adults. Most recently, 老司机福利社 also provides poetry classes, basketball skills, and strength and conditioning training for the Atlantic City鈥檚 Evening Recreation Program held at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. School.
