I decided to come to CNR because of the closeness of the community. The teachers at CNR give students the individual attention needed to help them excel. I find that here at The College of New Rochelle I am a name, not a number. ...Because the School of Arts & Sciences is a small women’s college, I get the chance to take a leadership role in a number of different activities.

Tell us, Kathryn, about some of your favorite teachers?
