Radford Quesada Networking Scholarship

The 2023 recipient of the Radford Quesada Networking Scholarship is Kenneth Ferron. Kenneth is pursuing an Associate Degree in Computer Network Administration.

As an immigrant from Jamaica and father of two young boys, Kenny’s greatest motivation is to set an example to them that with hard work and dedication, their possibilities are endless. After earning his degree, Kenny’s goal is to start his own business so that he has the opportunity to help bridge the unemployment gap in minority communities With CW’s help, Kenny will soon have all of the necessary tools to accomplish this goal.

The College of Westchester Charitable Foundation established this scholarship to honor the memory of Radford Quesada who was part of the CW family from 2008 until his untimely passing in 2015. He was a dedicated employee and a wonderful person who always had a smile on his face and a story to tell. As Junior Network Administrator, he interacted with all staff, faculty, administration and students, and he always exemplified The CW Way in everything he did.

His genuine personality inspired everyone that we do have time to just be people, to treat each other with kindness, to take a breath and enjoy life. Since he had such a positive impact on all he met during his service to CW, it was only fitting that a scholarship be named after him. The recipient for this award should possess the same passion for life, happiness and success.
