Until the full transfer of transcripts is complete at the end of December 2024, Saint Rose students and alumni who need academic records for employment or further education need to continue to request their transcripts through The College of Saint Rose Registrar’s Office by following the directions on the Registrar’s Office Transcript Requests web page. Additional instructions will be provided once the actual transfer of transcripts is finalized later this Fall.

UAlbany was the College’s first Teach-Out partner to sign an agreement, offering at least 85% of Saint Rose’s undergraduate AND graduate programs a degree completion pathway. The University at Albany announced in January that the New York State Department of Education had approved three new undergraduate teacher certification programs at the University, which is a critical component of Saint Rose’s Teach-Out Plan.

We are grateful for the support University at Albany President Dr. Havidán Rodríguez, Provost Dr. Carol Kim and their colleagues have shown, and continue to show, Saint Rose students and alumni.

Sincerely,

Margaret

Laura Isabela Uribe, a shining example of the Class of 2024’s resilience and determination, served as the president of the Student Association and is also a BOLD Women’s Leadership Network Scholar. In her motivating commencement speech, delivered in both English and Spanish, she encouraged her fellow graduates not to fear the unknown future. She emphasized that life often takes unexpected turns and to cherish the present moment. With a bachelor’s degree in Social Work, double minors in Sociology and Public Health, and a certificate in Spanish-to-English translation, Laura intends to work as a bilingual case aide. Additionally, she plans to pursue her Clinical MSW Advanced Standing Degree at The State University of Albany, a testament to her unwavering commitment to her field and her future.

Director of Spiritual Life Joan Horgan delivered a heartfelt speech, praising the Class of 2024 for their resilience, determination, and unwavering support for their community. She reminded everyone that the spirit of Saint Rose will endure through their commitment, saying, “It’s as if there were only 50,000 tickets to the incredible concert called the College of Saint Rose, and you secured one of those tickets before they sold out! You had the privilege of meeting these remarkable individuals, being educated by these exceptional professors, and having these unforgettable experiences.”The College honored the tragic loss of a Class of 2024 member by awarding a posthumous degree during the ceremony. Heather Cook’s family, a business major, graciously accepted the degree. Her husband, Dr. Warren Cook, who served as an assistant professor of management at the Huether School of Business, represented Heather.

It’s not just the diplomas in hand but the memories and bonds forged over years of hard work and dedication that will forever linger in the hearts of this graduating class. With dreams in their eyes and determination in their hearts, the Class of 2024 embarks on a new chapter filled with promise and potential. As they step out into the world, armed with knowledge, experiences, and a network of support, they will carry with them the special legacy of the College of Saint Rose.

“Today, we honor the dedication, resilience, and remarkable achievements of our students, particularly our graduating seniors, as they conclude their exceptional academic journeys at The College of Saint Rose,” said Dr. McLane. “Their commitment to academic excellence, contributions to our community, and readiness to embark on new challenges embody the spirit of Saint Rose. We are immensely proud of each and every one of them and look forward to witnessing their continued success and impact on the world.”

Although The College of Saint Rose will cease academic instruction in June 2024, its mission and values of serving the dear neighbor, creating diverse and inclusive communities, and meeting the needs of the times will live on through the work and lives of its alumni and dedicated faculty and staff.

The post Saint Rose Honors Students for Academic Achievement appeared first on The College of Saint Rose.

“Congratulations to all of our 2024 graduates. Like our founders, your stories are about your depth of creativity, intellectual rigor, adaptation, determination, joy, love, and resilience. You completed your degree through some of the most difficult years in our history, and today, we celebrate all you have become,“ said College of Saint Rose President Marcia J. White.

The speakers were selected, and the program was developed with input from a committee comprised of faculty, students, Trustees, and administration representatives. The Committee felt it was important that this commencement be a joyous celebration of the achievements of the Class of 2024 and that the speakers should be individuals who are known to the students and live the Saint Rose mission.

White, also a Saint Rose alumna, remarked, “This is the College’s final Commencement; it is, therefore, fitting that we hear from members of our Saint Rose community who understand the transformative nature of the Saint Rose experience and honor those who epitomize our mission and values.”

Joan Horgan, Director of Spiritual Life, a much respected and admired leader across all segments of the campus community, will deliver the commencement address. Horgan has been an integral part of The College of Saint Rose community for 30 years, linking the values of the College’s founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, to the day-to-day academic and student life of the College. Since 1993, she has been a guiding force in fostering faith, community service, and social justice initiatives. A native of Schenectady, Horgan holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Saint Rose and a master’s in social work from the University at Albany.

“Joan embodies the College’s mission of fostering a diverse and inclusive environment, embracing perspectives from various faith traditions, and encouraging interfaith dialogue,” added White. “Joan’s dedication to service, social justice, and holistic well-being has left an indelible mark on the Saint Rose community, inspiring countless students to pursue lives dedicated to advocacy and change addressing some of our society’s most pressing needs.”

In addition, two Class of 2024 student leaders will speak at the commencement ceremony. They were both members of the Commencement Planning Committee and were unanimously nominated to speak by the Committee.

● D’Andre Little ’23, G’24, will receive a master’s degree in computer science this year. He is a Student Association officer and student-athlete on the track and field team. He has also served as a resident assistant, orientation leader, and admissions tour guide. Little earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Saint Rose in 2023.

● Laura Uribe G’24, who will receive a bachelor of social work (minors in sociology and public health) and an English-to-Spanish translation certificate, is the president of the Student Association, a BOLD Women’s Leadership Network Scholar and has served as an orientation leader and admissions tour guide. Laura will attend the University at Albany, pursuing her master’s in social work with advanced standing.

“D’Andre and Laura exemplify academic excellence and a profound dedication to community service and leadership,” said Dr. Margaret McLane, provost and vice president of academic affairs. “Their unwavering commitment to both their studies and making a positive impact with their fellow students makes them inspirational choices to represent the class of 2024.”

The College will honor Sister Honora Margaret Kinney CSJ, G ‘66, ’61, professor emeritus of history, and Dr. Mary Ann Schultz McLoughlin, ’63, professor of mathematics, with the Cardondelet Medal for their commitment to the Saint Rose tradition of the liberal arts and dedicated service to The College of Saint Rose. The Carondelet Medal is the highest honor the College bestows and recognizes the individual for exceptional contributions to education, which, in the broadest sense of the word, is the passing on to others that one has received.

Sister Honora has steadfastly pursued social justice and systemic reform since she arrived on campus in 1957. Having earned a bachelor’s degree in social studies and French, a master’s degree in history from Saint Rose, and a Ph.D. in history from Syracuse University, Sister Honora began a lifelong journey dedicated to enlightening minds. During that time, Sister Honora has undertaken multiple roles beyond her decades in the classroom, including working in the College’s Neil Hellman Library, being part of the initiative that brought Michelle Alexander to campus, and participating in the College’s recent Middle States Self-Study process. Her active campus presence long after retirement as a faculty member underscores her dedication to the College’s institutional enhancement and demonstrates her grassroots approach to fostering substantive improvements. Central to Sister Honora’s social advocacy is her profound belief in the transformative influence of community engagement.

Professor Mary Ann McLoughlin, the longest-serving faculty member actively teaching �鶹ӳ��ýhb, has dedicated 59 years to her role as a mathematics educator. With a formidable array of degrees in mathematics – a bachelor of arts from The College of Saint Rose, a master of arts from Washington University, and a master of science and a Ph.D. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute – her tenure epitomizes an unwavering commitment to learning. She has been awarded the College’s prestigious Thomas A. Manion Distinguished Faculty Award for her outstanding professional accomplishments and concern for students. Beyond her academic pursuits, McLoughlin fervently advocates for STEM education and inspires future innovators. She generously volunteers as a judge for the annual Joseph Henry Science Fair for elementary students and has served as chair of the mathematics department and the rank and tenure committee, underscoring her dedication to maintaining high standards and fostering academic excellence.

For more information about the 2024 commencement ceremony, please visit the commencement page on the College’s website.

About The College of Saint Rose: The College of Saint Rose was founded in 1920 by the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Carondelet as a Catholic college for women in the New York state capital of Albany, New York.

From left to right: Kristen Delaney, Jada Brown, Lexie Grassia, and Dr. John Dion strike a pose during the annual speed sell competition.

Two Saint Rose students successfully competed in the National Shore Sales Challenge at Salsbury University in Maryland from April 4 to April 6. Hosted by Salisbury’s Mid-Atlantic Sales and Marketing Institute (MASMI), eighty students from 38 universities participated in a simulated sales environment (role play) and gave employers their own version of a 90-second elevator pitch.

Jada Brown, a biology major, and Lexie Grassia, a business administration major, who will graduate in May, did well in the competition. Jada advanced to the semi-finals in the role-play competition.

“We met twice a week with our coaches, Professor Delaney and Dr. Dion,” Grassia said. “We focused on learning all of the information in depth so we would be able to answer any question thrown at us. Jada and I bounced ideas off each other to better our original material.”

The competition also included a job fair, allowing students to connect with hiring managers seeking entry-level positions.

“Regardless of the outcome, the students learned so much that they will be able to carry forward,” stated Kristen Delaney. “They learned how to hone a pitch about themselves, highlighting characteristics that would make them a good candidate for a position with a company, and practiced networking with other students and professors/coaches from around the country. They learned that preparation and practice are key to performance, and asking the right questions can help you probe deeper to gather insights. I think participating in the competition helps boost their confidence.”

The three-day competition featured colleges and universities nationwide, including  Penn State, Purdue University, Temple University, University of Massachusetts Lowell, and Virginia Tech.

“It was such a great experience competing against other schools,” Brown said. “It showed me that even though we have a tiny university, we truly have exceptional professors who educate us enough to compete with universities with over 50,000 students. It doesn’t matter how small of a school you attend it matters the type of professor you have and the passion they show to develop their students.”

Dion emphasized that he’s very proud that Jada and Lexi represented the institution incredibly well in the College’s final sales competition.

An Albany native, she is the first woman and the first African American individual to lead the highway agency. She grew up near the Saint Rose campus, attending the Vincentian Institute, and then earning her undergraduate degree at St. John Fisher University in Rochester. She returned to Albany to receive her master’s in English �鶹ӳ��ýhb – going on to earn degrees from Albany Law School and Georgetown University Law Center .

A longtime public servant, Shepherd sees infrastructure as a powerful tool for equity and environmental stewardship. Her FHA team won the public service award for using Biden’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to modernize our roads, railroads, tunnels, bridges, and ports.

“Their diligence and hard work have resulted in equitable and sustainable programs that will improve our ability to compete globally and renew Americans’ faith that their government can deliver,” said Carlos Monje, DOT undersecretary.

She discusses her experiences here.

You have always wanted to serve the country – how did transportation become, pardon the pun, your route?

Transportation is much broader than my initial understanding of it was.  It is more than just steel and concrete.  I learned it is important to have mobility and accessibility, but is also essential to esteem the importance of people. For example, looking at the past and seeing how some roads and bridges separated communities and the previous cohesiveness of those communities made me understand there is a better and more inclusive way to build infrastructure without disrupting and disbanding communities.  I also learned there are ways to use highway transportation to reconnect communities.

Climate is also an essential consideration when constructing roads and bridges because automobiles produce greenhouse gases (GHG). These gases trap heat and cause the earth’s surface temperature to increase.  It is incumbent on all auto users to consider using cleaner technology that will reduce GHG.

This administration has dedicated an unprecedented amount of federal dollars to programs aimed to reverse this trend, including establishing a National Electric Vehicle Program, administering the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Grant Program, and the Promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-saving Transportation Program. FHWA has also designated alternative fuel corridors to support the installation of EV charging, hydrogen, propane, and natural gas fueling infrastructure at strategic locations along major national highways.

How, if at all, does your identity as an African American woman shape your leadership role?

I think, as an African woman who has studied history, it makes me more aware of constructing highway transportation that is inclusive and not disruptive.  As a leader, I understand the importance of the people throughout this large agency and the work they perform.

I understand the need to keep my hands on the pulse of the agency to ensure the mental and physical stability of our staff.  I also understand the importance of succession planning, including equity, and preparing the workforce to assume senior-level positions, through training, mentoring, and rotation assignments.

You are a serious runner who takes part in 5Ks, 10Ks, and half marathons. Please share your regimen and how you fit it into your responsibilities at the FHWA.

In the past, I ran as much as 40+ miles a week. I also have run 20 marathons, and numerous 5ks, 10ks, and half-marathons.  However, I also have had three lumbar fusions, so I am on a much more modest pace and schedule these days than in the past.  Now, I try to get in 30+ miles of running weekly along with walking. I believe that there is a synergy between physical and mental stability and balance and that a person needs both to function well.

The closure of Saint Rose is truly heartbreaking for all of us who care deeply about the history and legacy of this institution and the extraordinary students we serve and have served for 103 years.

As Board Chair Jeffrey Stone and I shared with you at our Community Gathering today, there were many overlapping factors that led to the Board of Trustees’ vote yesterday to cease academic instruction after the end of the 2023-2024 academic year.  We are grateful for the impressive turnout and the opportunity to speak with you directly, and in person, as we had intended.

Students are our highest priority as are our dedicated faculty and staff, and we are announcing this now, months in advance of the actual closure, to give you as much time as possible because of our strongly felt commitment to you. We know that students and their families, along with faculty, staff and their families, are those most impacted by that decision and you have my word that we will do everything possible to support you.

The Board and my administration have been public about the College’s financial challenges for some time and, of course, Saint Rose is not alone. The same challenges plague many small independent colleges, particularly those here in the Northeast: a more than decade-long decline in enrollment due the shrinking population of college-bound students, the lingering impact of COVID, and other factors that were not only beyond our control, but to a great extent beyond our ability to influence.

The Board and my leadership team have been laser-focused on sustaining the institution. In recent years, the Board eliminated high-cost academic programs, instituted faculty and staff layoffs, and reduced pension contributions, cut administrator salaries, re-financed the College’s debt, requested donors to unrestrict endowed funds, sold non-essential buildings, raised scholarship funds, and implemented a variety of new recruitment initiatives and strategies.

The Board engaged national consultants as we sought to identify a potential higher education partner to strengthen the College’s financial position and continue its educational mission. Similarly, leadership aggressively pursued every opportunity to fundraise and secure significant philanthropic support, including efforts to gain financial support from the state legislature and other elected officials in the Capital Region. No stone was left unturned.

Despite our leadership team’s tireless efforts to address the ongoing deficit, the Board was unable to ensure the College could operate throughout the entire 2024-2025 academic year.

The Board’s decision is heartbreaking, but it was a responsible and necessary step given the Board’s duty to act in the best interests of our students, faculty, and staff — and to do so in the least disruptive manner possible. The decision was also driven by the College’s obligations to regulators, accreditors, lenders, bondholders and its other business and academic partners. The Board had to balance its effort in exhausting every option to keep its doors open with the need of our students, faculty and staff to plan for the future.

For that reason, the College leadership team is preparing a teach-out plan, as required by regulators and accreditors, to facilitate a smooth transition for College of Saint Rose students to pursue degrees at other colleges and universities without interruption. The plan sets forth agreements with higher education institutions that offer academic courses and degree programs aligned with those in which Saint Rose students are currently enrolled. More detailed information will be shared with our college community in the coming weeks.

Our commitment to the College of Saint Rose family is unwavering. As we proceed through this academic year, the College will continue to do everything possible to support our students and our dedicated faculty, staff and administrators and will provide information and resources that will aid them in their decisions about next steps.

To begin, we will host a series of meetings with faculty, staff, undergraduate and graduate students, parents, and alumni.  We will share the specific details of those meetings in separate communications.

A press release announcing the closure was distributed on December 1.

Marcia White
