COLLEGE OF NEW ROCHELLE WEB SITE CAPTURES
AWARD FROM LEADING HIGHER ED ASSOCIATION
NEW ROCHELLE, NY, January 14,
2005 -- The College of New Rochelle (CNR) today announced that the
District II Region for the Council for Advancement and Support of
Higher Education (CASE) has honored the College with a bronze Accolades
Award under the category of “Web Site: Publication/Special
Purpose.” This award is for a special section CNR created on its
website to mark the College’s Centennial Year http://www.cnr.edu/100/cnr-centennialindex.html.
The section tells the amazing
story of how a handful of religious women established a school for
young women in a summer home on Long Island Sound one hundred years
ago. The award will be presented to CNR on January 31 during
CASE’s District II annual conference in Baltimore.

higher education first for women, and then men, at CNR. The site
features:
-
A comprehensive time-line of the College’s history
and major events on campus;
-
A gallery of photos and biographies of the College’s
12 presidents to date;
-
Charming nostalgic tales and priceless
black-and-white photos of former students;
