A May Update
May Commencement
Here at Saint Rose we just celebrated spring commencement. We had over 900 undergraduate and graduate students earn their degrees and advanced certificates. We want to wish them well as they enter the next stage in their lives.
Our commencement was graced by two tremendous speakers, Michelle Rhee and Senator Chuck Schumer, who both offered timely and inspiring messages. You can read more about our commencement here.
Summer Semester
Graduate summer courses in our Schools of Education, Math and Science, and Arts and Humanities begin this Monday, May 23. We want to wish good luck to new students beginning their studies this summer as well as continued success to those students using the summer to move through their programs.
Fall Application Deadlines
June 1 is the preferred application deadline for many of our programs. Please contact our office if you have any questions about your program of interest. June 1 is also the deadline for turning in graduate assistant applications. Supervisors like to hire their graduate assistants as early as possible, so please turn these applications in!
Art Exhibition
From June 3 to September 2, the Esther Massry Art Gallery at The College of Saint Rose will be holding its second annual Karene Faul Alumni Exhibition. Come to the gallery to see some amazing pieces of art produced by Saint Rose alumni.
School of Business
Saint Rose trustee, Richard J. Huether, has recently made a sizable donation to our School of Business campaign. We will be creating a new space for our School of Business, which will be known as the Huether School of Business thanks to his generous gift. Find out more here.
As always, please contact the office of Graduate Admissions if you have any questions. You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter. Have a great summer, all!

An April Update
April 15: This is the fall application deadline for our programs in School Counseling, Mental Health Counseling, and College Student Services Administration. You can apply online here.
May 1: This is the graduate scholarship application deadline. We give a select number of merit-based scholarships to incoming graduate students for the fall semester. You will only need to fill out one application to be considered for all of our scholarships. You can download the application here.
May 14: This is the date of commencement, which is being held at the Times Union Center. Learn everything you need to know here.
May 23: This is the first day of classes for the Summer I semester. Taking classes over the summer is a great way to make up course work or to try and move through your program quicker.
June 1: This is the preferred application deadline for our programs other than Counseling, School Psychology, and Communication Sciences and Disorders. By preferred, I mean that we will still accept applications for most programs after this deadline, but we cannot guarantee that we can provide you with a decision in time to register and get set for the fall semester.
June 1: Again? Well, June 1 is also the application deadline to be considered for graduate assistant positions. There are a number of positions that we award for the fall semester. You can find about more about this program here.
As you can see, even though the spring semester is winding down, there is always something around the corner. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns, and enjoy the spring!

Diversity at Saint Rose
Shai Butler, Assistant to the President on Diversity, opened with some general comments before turning the presentation over to a panel of Saint Rose undergraduate students, who took turns responding to the following questions:
What does Saint Rose do well when it comes to diversity?
On the other hand, what improvements could Saint Rose make?
The 5 student panel represented a diverse mixture of backgrounds, including men and women who have roles in campus organizations: A.L.A.N.A., Identity Club, the Women's Initiative, and Student Council. While each student shared their own responses, there was something of a general consensus. They are proud of the steps that Saint Rose has taken to open up the discussion on diversity. The students also celebrated the institution's encouragement of students to celebrate their identity. But, they also concluded that there is much work to do and that a conversation is merely the beginning.
Panelists from the Affirmative Action Committee then spoke about the survey; its methodology, creation, and distribution. A student member shared student responses, while Dr. Steven Hoff, of the School Psychology department, discussed the survey responses by faculty, staff, and administration. In general, survey findings echoed the remarks of the student panel; there is a lot to celebrate, but there is more work to be done from every layer of the institution.
A final report of the climate of diversity, bearing presidential approval, will be published sometime this spring.
