CNR HOSTS WESTCHESTER CONSORTIUM FOR
INTERNATIONAL STUDIES
13th ANNUAL STUDENT SYMPOSIUM
NEW ROCHELLE, NY, March 27, 2007 – On Thursday,
March 29, The College of New Rochelle (CNR) will host the Westchester
Consortium for International Studies’ (WCIS) 13th annual Student
Symposium featuring student speakers from The College of New Rochelle,
Manhattanville College and Marymount College of Fordham University. The
symposium will take place at 4:15 p.m. on CNR’s Main Campus, 29 Castle
Place, New Rochelle, NY, in Romita Auditorium in the Mooney Center.
WCIS initiated the symposium in 1995 to provide undergraduate students
in The Consortium’s International Studies Programs the experience of
presenting their major research projects in a professional setting. The
Consortium enhances this experience by publishing abstracts of each
presentation in proceedings of the symposium. CNR School of Arts and
Sciences students presenting at the symposium will be Jennifer Lanni, a
senior, who will speak about “International Criminal Courts: Saddam
Hussein Trial,” and Milena Tercheva, a junior, who will speak about
“Preventing Sex Trafficking in Bulgaria.” Other presentations will
include “The Impact of Antihatianismo in Hispaniola,” and “Coffee’s
Commodity Chain: From the Crop to the Cup.”
The School of Arts
& Sciences at CNR enrolls women only. It offers undergraduate
degrees in all traditional disciplines of liberal arts and sciences and
a number of professional fields. A core curriculum is required and
dual-degree programs, interdisciplinary studies, independent-study
options, and flexible honors programs are also offered. Founded in 1904
by the Ursuline Order, The College of New Rochelle was the first
Catholic college for women in New York State. Today, it comprises the
all-women School of Arts & Sciences, and three schools which admit
women and men: the School of New Resources (for adult learners), the
School of Nursing and the Graduate School.
The Westchester
Consortium for International Studies (WCIS), an educational alliance of
The College of New Rochelle, Manhattanville College and Marymount
College of Fordham University, was founded in 1988 with a grant from
the Hitachi Foundation and incorporated in 1989. Dedicated to
strengthening the international perspective of its member institutions
through their International Studies Programs, the consortium services
the larger community of Westchester. Since its founding, WCIS has
supported faculty, student, and community learning through a variety of
programs: public lectures, symposia, faculty development seminars,
overseas study and travel, film series, theater and arts programs, and
annual international career evenings.

free and open to the public.
