Saint Rose afforded me a great learning experience and enabled me to effectively utilize my GIBill and the College's Yellow Ribbon Program to pursue college tuition free. Through cooperationbetween the College and the VA, I was able to not only obtain my undergraduate degree inbusiness, but now I am pursuing my MBA.

I have hadopportunities that I couldn’t imagine having anywhere else, such as being a staff writer and news editorfor our school newspaper, President of our Tau Sigma National Honor Society chapter, and participatingon the Executive Board of the College’s Student Alumni Association.
