Honoring Saint Rose
We have deemed May 18, 2024 as Honoring Saint Rose Day, a day to come together as members of a very special community to process our loss and share in our pride and gratitude at having been a part of something as special and remarkable as The College of Saint Rose. This special occasion is sponsored and underwritten by the Alumni Association.
We are so touched by your overwhelming response to joining us on campus for Honoring Saint Rose Day. It continues to be clear how special Saint Rose is and the impact it has made on the lives of so many. It is with much regret that we have exceeded our maximum number of attendees and have needed to close registration. This has been a difficult decision as we want to share the event with as many members of the Saint Rose community as possible, but it was necessary for the safety and well-being of all attendees and our neighbors.
Members of the Classes of 1974 and earlier who are still planning to register for the Golden Roses Induction and Luncheon, please click here to register, or contact Therese “T” Stillman at stillmat@strose.edu or 518.454.5199.
You are encouraged to register in advance if you would like to have iSmile Studios take portraits of your group.
Volunteers Needed to Assist
In order to make this day a success, we will need your help! With so many things happening around campus, we want to be sure everything is attended to in the best way possible and the College’s staff is extremely limited. If you have registered for the event, please consider signing up to help us throughout the day to help make this a special day that everyone can enjoy.
Closing Thoughts Honoring Saint Rose Exhibition
The final exhibition to be held at the Esther Massry Gallery, Massry Center for the Arts, co-curated and installed by Jeanne Flanagan, Founding Director. The exhibit brings together The College of Saint Rose community to share in the story of its distinguished history and provides closure to the institution. Memories, people, programs, events will be highlighted. A wall display of individual narratives that reflect on meaningful, personal experiences will be featured. The entire College community, past and present, is encouraged to submit to the wall display.
