At a news conference on February 18, President Carolyn J. Stefanco made two major announcements about women’s leadership and its role in the future of Saint Rose.

Stefanco announced a $1.2 million gift from community leaders Michelle and Walt Borisenok for a renovation to 1020 Madison Avenue, which will become the Michelle Cuozzo Borisenok ’80 House, home to the new Women’s Leadership Institute at Saint Rose. Stefanco also introduced the inaugural group of BOLD Women’s Leadership Network Scholars, seven students now part of a movement at an exclusive national network of colleges and universities seeking to empower women on their campuses to become change-makers.

Looking ahead to the Saint Rose centennial celebration in 2020, President Carolyn J. Stefanco is hosting a series of “To the Second Century” dinners throughout the country.
The dinners bring together prospective, accepted, and current Saint Rose students, their families, school counselors, and alumni, providing a way for President Stefanco to share the strategic priorities and opportunities at Saint Rose.

She has already made stops in Silver Spring, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., with New York, Boston, Los Angeles, and Atlanta also on the itinerary.

For the 10th consecutive year, The College of Saint Rose has been named a Military Friendly® School by Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs and other publications for military personnel. The College also has been ranked No. 1 in the nation among “Gold Standard” private colleges not offering a doctorate. This is the fourth year in a row Saint Rose has been given the No. 1 designation.

The 2019-2020 Military Friendly® Schools list, which was announced online last month, will be published in the May issue of G.I. Jobs magazine.

In 2018, Saint Rose held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its Veteran Residence, student housing exclusively for veterans, which was made possible through the continued generosity of the Massry Family. To double admissions and recruiting efforts, the College also hired a second veteran to staff its Veteran Center – a building where students who are veterans, service members, and military family members can find resources and have a quiet place to gather or study.
