THE SAINT ROSE STORY OF $1,000“The year 1920 had opened the doors of opportunity for women across this vast nation, and so it seems only fitting that this same year should also be the time for thefounding of a Catholic women’s college in the capital area of New York State.

Earlier that year, Monsignor Joseph A. Delaney, vicar-general of the Roman CatholicDiocese of Albany, contacted Sr. Blanche Rooney of the Sisters of Saint

Joseph of Carondelet. . . . It was his conviction that the Sisters of SaintJoseph should formulate a strategy whereby a Catholic college forwomen be established in upper New York State.

Enthralled by the challenge, Sr. Blanche sought and received the permission from her superiors to pursue this matter. . . . Shortly thereafter, upon application to the New York State Education Department for the authority to establish such an institution, the Board of Regents, on June 28, 1920, granted a provisional charter

sanctioning The College of Saint Rose to issue bachelor degrees in arts, science and music.

The Sisters of Saint Joseph purchased the William Keeler estate for the site of thefledgling college. Located at 979 Madison Avenue in Albany’s Pine Hillssection, the estate was made up of a three-story building, a garageand a pine grove.

How was Sr. Blanche, armed with a grand total of $1,000, to transform this residential cluster into a dormitory, dining room, chapel, classrooms and auditorium, and all by an opening day already slated for September?

Unfazed and armed with determination, faith, gifts of various sorts from a growing listof benefactors and volunteer assistance, she andthe Sisters of Saint Joseph met the task. BetweenMarch 4, 1920, when they took possession of theMadison Avenue property, and September 22,1920, when the first freshman class crossed the threshold, the Keeler residence had virtuallydisappeared. In its place was The College of Saint Rose, named to honor the first Americancanonized saint - St. Rose of Lima.

The College of Saint Rose has come a long wayfrom its inception when Sr. Blanche dreamed dreams and when nineteen studentscame to the Madison Avenue location seeking academic excellence, vibrant challenges, intellectual satisfaction and an opportunity for growth.”

Excerpted from Of Glory, Of Praise: 75 Years of Distinction, a history of The Collegeof Saint Rose by RoseMarie Manory

What has not changed at Saint Rose is the impact of determination, faith and the difference $1,000 can make. Your leadership gift of $1,000 or greater will makea significant impact in the lives of today’s Saint Rose students and will help

the College meet its most compelling needs of affordability and accessibility. Your gift isan investment in the Saint Rose of today andtomorrow. It will also, in a way, pay tribute to the pioneers of Saint Rose whose $1,000started it all. There is no doubt that thedreams and aspirations of one or a few canimpact the lives of thousands.

Kaitlyn Louise Hardman ’15 Accounting“If I did not receive alumni support to attend The College of Saint Rose, I honestlywould not be able to afford to be here. Donors to The Saint Rose Fund help in somany more ways than they may think; I know in my heart that students like mewould not be able to achieve their goals and dreams without the generous

commitment and loyalty of the Saint Rose family. I could never say thank you enoughfor what you have given me.”

Maire Cunningham ’14 History“I cannot thank you enough for providing me the opportunity to attend this institution. The people I have met and the experiences I have had here at Saint Rose have allowed me to reach my true potential. I am constantly striving to pushfurther and aim higher in my academic studies . The College of Saint Rose and the

generosity of our alumni donors have given me the gift of an education. Without suchan education, I genuinely believe I would not be as successful as I have been, and I would

not be able to pursue a career in doing something that I truly love.”

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Emily Gydesen ’13, G’13 Business Administration (Dual Degree B.S./M.B.A.) “Saint Rose has expanded my ability to think critically, and given me the knowledgeand confidence to make good decisions academically. I was drawn to Saint Rose because I could see the investments that alumni and donors were making in theschool; the dedication to enhancing student experiences was tangible in the growth

of the campus, improvements to classroom technology, and the ever-expanding opportunities offered. With the financial support from our alumni and friends, I was been

able to focus entirely on my studies and having the fullest experience of campus life.”

Seven Things Uniquely Saint Rose

Powerful Academics • AcademicProgram Diversity • Breadth andDepth of Academic OfferingsWe offer 70 different undergraduate programsand over 50 graduate degree and certificateprograms. 2/3 of the undergraduate programshave the highest level of specialized accreditations. There are also over 50 graduate degree and certificate programs.

Our Accelerated degree programs enable students to earn a bachelor’s and master’s degree in five years.

Experienced and Dedicated Faculty There is a 13:1 student-to-faculty ratio with all classes taught by experienced faculty. 94% of full-time faculty has a Ph.D. or otherterminal degree in their field with many of them recognized nationally for their research/professional accomplishments and contributions.

A Vibrant Campus Located on an urban, 48-acre campus in Albany, NY, Saint Rose is nestled within a vibrant city with tree-lined streets, historichomes, and modern, but stately, academicbuildings - the perfect backdrop for an outstanding education. We have increased the number of buildings (29 new buildings were built, acquired or renovated in the last

15 years), investing over $105 million in the campus in the last 15 years.

Some of our most impressive projects to date include:

• Centennial Hall – Completed Summer 2012• Huether School of Business – Completed Summer 2012• Hearst Center for Communications and Interactive Media (CCIM)

– Completed Spring 2010• Christian Plumeri Sports Complex at Hoffman Park

– Completed Spring 2010• The Massry Center for the Arts – Completed 2008• Thelma P. Lally School of Education – Completed 2003

Inclusive CommunityThe College values diversity in all its forms and we are part of this vibrant,inclusive community where both individual and group diversity is celebrated.This academic year, there were 34 states and 66 countries represented bythe student body. The 2013 Freshman class is 30.7% ALANA, comprised ofunderrepresented minorities including (African, Latin, Asian, and NativeAmerican).

Also, Saint Rose has been named a “MilitaryFriendly School” by G.I. Jobs, the premier magazine for military personnel transitioning to civilian life. Veteran students constitute an integral part of our total student body, bringinga diversity of life experiences and educationalbackgrounds that enrich and strengthen theoverall academic experience for all students.

Remarkable Outcomes • Effective Preparation for Career or Graduate SchoolOver 96% of Saint Rose programs require or provide an opportunity for internship, student teaching or clinical placement and many undergraduateshave the opportunity for faculty-mentored research. 97% of undergraduatessaid Saint Rose prepared them for graduateschool as well as law and medical programs.And 93% of graduates who responded to our most recent survey are employed or ingraduate school.

U.S. News & World Report has recognized SaintRose as one of “the Best Northern Universities.” Our graduates are accepted into the most prestigious graduate schools or are selected for immediate placement in career-track jobs. We help our students buildthe tools they need for life after college, and provide them with an educationthat is innovative and relevant. Students are empowered to think critically,speak articulately, and gain the knowledge and understanding of differentcultures and traditions.

Service to Community • The Education of Engaged Citizens

A legacy of this College is one of service - a direct embodiment of the "caring for thy dearneighbor" charism of our Founders, the Sistersof St. Joseph of Carondelet. Nearly 100 yearssince our founding, we live these values every day through our dedication to interfaithdialogue and through the community service of our students whether in the Pine Hills Elementary After School Academy or hundredsof miles away in Honduras serving some of

the planet’s poorest people.

The College of Saint Rose has been named to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for the last four years for engaging its students, faculty and staff in meaningful service that achievesmeasurable results in the community.

I hope to honor this support by achievingthe best possible grades and participating in different campus activities as a servicefor our donors who also love Saint Rose.”
