“After I graduated from CNR, I
obtained a management position with an increase in salary of over
$10,000 a year. That position took me to Columbia University Medical
Center. Without attending the Rosa Parks Campus of The College of
New
Rochelle, I would not have met the supportive academic family that
assisted me with my life."
