A Message from President Marcia J. White ’00 Saint Rose was founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet a century ago with $1,000, hard work, faith, and a mission to serve those who were underrepresented in higher education. The Sisters laid the foundation for this very special college with their vision and commitment to the timeless values upon which we stand today. They valued an orientation towards excellence; development of the whole person; creating an inclusive community; service to the dear neighbor, and meeting the needs of the times. These values are needed now more than ever. Today’s shifting landscape brings an opportunity to exercise our values in new and groundbreaking ways as we meet the needs of these times. As an educational institution, we are transforming to create the college experience needed not just today but for tomorrow – while bringing our values to the forefront. At Saint Rose, we focus everything we do on our students so they can develop into the leaders our region and our nation needs for the future. Our graduates leave Saint Rose with an excellent education, a conviction to serve others, and skills and degrees they need to achieve their dreams. That is how individuals, families, and communities are transformed. By defining who we are, removing barriers to student learning and degree achievement, we will ensure that a sustainable Saint Rose serves our students and society for the next century and beyond. I want to thank each of you who have been part of our journey to reach this milestone of 100 years. Whether you are an alum, current student, faculty member, staff member, corporate partner, or friend, I am deeply grateful to you. As we embark upon our second century, I look forward to continuing our partnership and building on our success together.
In thy light we shall see light. Marcia J. White ’00

In a year that tested us all, we have pulled together as a community, cared for each other, and stayed true to the founding values of Saint Rose.

History & Mission Scholarly. Energetic. Socially active. These words have described Saint Rose since 1920, when the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet — known for their dedication to unity with all people — founded the College. From the outset, while building on a liberal arts curriculum, the College emphasized the professional training of teachers, for which it is renowned even today, along with a diverse offering of majors and programs. In the early years, the emphasis expanded to prepare women for business and other professions. Men were first admitted as the College opened its evening division for World War II veterans in 1946 and the graduate school three years later. In 1969, Saint Rose become fully coeducational. From those beginnings, Saint Rose grew into what it is today: a progressive, independent college sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet.
Mission The College of Saint Rose community engages highly motivated undergraduate and graduate students in rigorous educational experiences. In the progressive tradition of the founding Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, we welcome students from all religious and cultural backgrounds. In addition to developing their intellectual capacities, students have the opportunity to cultivate their creative and spiritual gifts in a diverse learning community that fosters integrity, interdependence, and mutual respect. The College delivers distinctive and comprehensive liberal arts and professional programs that inspire our graduates to be productive adults, critical thinkers, and motivated, caring citizens. Our engagement with the urban environment expands the setting for educational opportunities and encourages the Saint Rose community’s energetic involvement and effective leadership in society.
Congratulations to The College of St. Rose on its Centennial
