Truly Wisdom for Life…
a
Testament at age 80!
 “I heard The School
of New Resources was offering classes in
my area, and I decided to enroll,” says Madeline Riley, a resident of
The
Rockaways, Brooklyn. “I thought it was about
time that I
got my college degree. After all, I turned 80 this year.” Ms. Riley is
the oldest
student attending CNR, and one of nearly forty students at this new CNR
Brooklyn Campus Extension Site at Far Rockaway.

towns of Matamoros, Mexico and
Brownsville, Texas, to a children’s residence in Harlem, and throughout
the
local community, The College of New Rochelle came together this

offer service to those in need.
