April 14, 2005
On April 14, over
150 faculty, staff and students from The College of New Rochelle
performed community service at 21 organizations throughout New Rochelle
and New York City. The volunteers represented all six
campuses, and students from the School of Arts & Sciences, School
of Nursing, School of New Resources, and Graduate School. Some of
the ways in which CNR faculty, staff, and students served the community
were by helping build affordable housing; tutoring ESL students;
entertaining nursing/retirement home residents; preparing sandwiches,
soup, and coffee for distribution to the homeless; and doing gardening
and spring cleanup chores.
