When he was a kid, Josh Terry’s dream was to be Marine. Having served his country proudly, the 2016 Saint Rose graduate in graphic design landed a dream career only five months after finishing his degree at Saint Rose – designing at T Brand Studio, a unit of The New York Times.

At The New York Times’ internal brand-content and ad agency, he works with top photographers, illustrators, and art directors to create ads for household names like Spotify and Mercedes-Benz.

Saint Rose President Carolyn J. Stefanco has been awarded a Helen Gurley Brown Genius Grant, and The College of Saint Rose has been invited to join the BOLD Women’s Leadership Network by the Pussycat Foundation. To “champion women of superior accomplishment,” and to honor President Stefanco’s leadership of the College, the Foundation has provided a $100,000 grant to the President’s Fund at the College. The BOLD grant of $1 million will fund a program to benefit women student leaders at Saint Rose over the next few years.

The BOLD Women’s Leadership Network funding is intended to empower a diverse group of young women leaders enrolled at a select group of institutions of higher education to address important issues in their communities. The Pussycat Foundation was founded by Helen Gurley Brown, best known for reinventing Cosmopolitan magazine, and was named after Ms. Brown’s favored term of endearment.

In the past two years, the foundation has identified 80 BOLD scholars, a diverse group of female students who are working on developing projects to transform their campuses. The initiative envisions collaboration across institutions of higher education to address issues on their campuses, particularly those related to leadership development. The BOLD Women’s Leadership Network currently operates at five colleges and universities: Ithaca College; Middlebury College; Smith College; California State University, Fullerton; and Rutgers University–Newark. With this announcement, two institutions were added to the network: The College of Saint Rose and the University of Connecticut. Each partner institution is led by a woman president, who has demonstrated commitment to diversity and inclusion throughout her career.

For the ninth 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 among “Gold Standard” private colleges with fewer than 10,000 students for the third year in a row.

“We are so proud of our veteran community at Saint Rose, and, in appreciation of their service, the list of programs we provide to our veteran students, students who are actively serving, and military family members grows each year,” said Saint Rose President Carolyn J. Stefanco. “Last year, thanks to the generosity of the Massry family, we announced the Massry Veteran Scholarship, which helps veterans who have a tuition gap after their military benefits are applied. In Fall 2018, we will offer veteran student housing in the residence hall located beside our Veteran Center. We are grateful for the accolades, and we will not be complacent in our efforts to provide educational opportunities to those who serve, have served, and their families.”

Target is known for its good deals, smart ads, friendly employees, and dazzling retail stores. For one Saint Rose student, however, Target is more than an iconic megastore: It’s an incredible internship opportunity that allows him to apply what he’s learning in his management classes.

Recently, Caleb Gregg ’19, a Management major, secured an exclusive internship opportunity at Target, where he will learn the ins and outs of running a multi-million dollar operation and have the chance to lock down a high-level (not to mention well-paying) management job right out of college.

Find out more about the internship, and what made Gregg such a strong candidate for it, here.
