The College of Saint Rose has announced two agreements that offer employees of Albany Medical Center and St. Peter’s Health Partners a 20% discount on tuition for the Master of Science in Social Work program. The discount is available to those who meet the admissions criteria for the program, and it will be available beginning in Spring 2020.

The Master of Science in Social Work program at Saint Rose launched in Fall 2017 and focuses on well-being and prevention across five essential realms: spiritual, social/environmental, emotional/psychological, physical, and economic. The social work faculty at Saint Rose are all licensed practitioners from various backgrounds and practice areas, including aging, trauma and crisis intervention, and diversity and social justice, among many others.

The College of Saint Rose officially launched the Women’s Leadership Institute on Friday, November 1, with the dedication of the Michelle Cuozzo Borisenok ’80 House and announcement of the 14 inaugural Women’s Leadership Institute (WLI) Advisory Board members.

“I have dedicated much of my professional life to advancing women’s leadership, and this is an incredibly proud day for me, personally, and for The College of Saint Rose,” said Saint Rose President Carolyn J. Stefanco. “Although our institution is co-educational today, it was founded nearly 100 years ago to offer higher educational opportunities to women. That mission continues with the WLI, where, regardless of gender, we will work together to address the issues that still hold women back in the U.S. and around the world. That is why I am honored that the WLI Advisory Board includes a range of regional, national, and global leaders.”

The College of Saint Rose is pleased to announce that President Carolyn J. Stefanco has signed a Memorandum of Understanding establishing a relationship with the Universidad de Alcalá (UAH) in Madrid, Spain. Under the agreement, Saint Rose students will be eligible to spend a semester studying at UAH while living in the rich, multicultural environment offered by one of Europe’s greatest capital cities.

The partnership was envisioned when Stefanco met with Jesús Valbuena Garcia ’93, a Saint Rose alum, during a visit to Madrid. Valbuena has been instrumental in assisting the College with this agreement and other international initiatives.
