On April 15, more than 130 faculty, staff and students from The College of New Rochelle performed community service at 17 organizations throughout New Rochelle and New York City.  The volunteers represented 38 departments at The College, all six campuses, and students from the School of Arts & Sciences, School of Nursing, School of New Resources, and Graduate School.  Some of the ways in which CNR faculty, staff and students served the community were by building affordable housing; tutoring ESL students; collecting and distributing toys and books to needy children; entertaining nursing/retirement home residents; preparing sandwiches, soup, and coffee for distribution to the homeless; and doing gardening and spring cleanup chores.
