Cosmetology Student Represents RVCC in National Program
Raritan Valley Community College Cosmetology student Emma McJury of Franklin Park has been selected as a member of the Beacon Class of 2022, one of the beauty industry’s most prestigious programs for students, sponsored by the Professional Beauty Association (PBA). Her participation enabled her to take part in the PBA’s International Salon + Spa Expo event, held April 2-3 in Long Beach, CA. She also attended the North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) as part of the program.
The PBA event featured two days of industry professionals educating new cosmetologists on relevant topics in the beauty industry. Presentations focused on such topics as goal setting, personal finance, and how to be successful in the industry.
Reflecting on her participation in the Beacon program, McJury said, “This experience allowed me to network and build connections I couldn’t make anywhere else. Being part of Beacon is incredibly special. I recommend every student in the Beauty Professions program apply because it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I am so inspired and excited to begin my career and want to thank RVCC for letting me represent them at this prestigious event.”
