"The College of
New Rochelle gave me more than just a first-rate
education. CNR prepared me to handle life's challenges both big and
small, taught me how to work successfully as a part of a community and
be a leader and the importance of giving back. CNR gave me the wisdom
to recognize the difference between failure and opportunity and had a
profound impact in shaping my character and making me the person I am
today."
