Studied at The Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam 1996-2000

https://www.potsdam.edu/academics/crane-school-music

The Crane School of Music was a wonderful place to become an excellent musician and develop into an even finer music teacher. Located in the North Country of upstate NY, it is there that I learned how to sing opera and conduct huge ensembles. I also refined my piano playing skills and learned how to play every instrument. When not performing in symphonies, chorus groups, Jazz ensembles, or opera troupes, I often spent my spare time hiking, boating in the Racket River, enjoying the sights of Allen’s Water Falls, and sometimes even the culture of Canada (only a short drive away).
I owe my entire career as a music teacher to the training I received at the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam.

Fairfield University
Major: English and Secondary Education
Minor: Psychology
https://www.fairfield.edu/

I couldn't have made a better decision in attending Fairfield University. I entered college undecided but soon chose Education as my major and the program exceeded my expectations. Fairfield is not big, has about 4,000 undergrads, tucked away in a quiet, residential area of coastal CT. There is an adorable town that is 5 minutes away, filled with charming restaurants and a beautiful beach around the corner from the school. I lived at the beach for 2 years and it was an opportunity of a lifetime!  The campus is gorgeous, class size was perfect and everything about life in Fairfield is incredible.  There was a real sense of community and if you are considering Fairfield, I couldn't recommend it more. Not only will you find a great education, you'll find a home, family and lifelong friends! STAGS UP!!

Colgate University
Major: History
https://www.colgate.edu/

I had a great time at Colgate.  It's about four hours away in upstate New York, in the middle of nowhere.  Seriously.  There is one stop light in town, and it's usually blinking yellow.  I loved that, though.  You can walk everywhere, it's beautiful countryside, and it's totally safe.  I don't think I had a set of keys.

For a small school, it has a lot of areas of study and you can go anywhere with a Colgate degree.  My friends went on to become biologists, judges, lawyers, doctors, nurses, sportscasters, entrepreneurs, professors, superintendents, social workers, wine growers, drummers, and Navy pilots.

Besides studies, there's great D1 sports (I played soccer there), a strong Greek system, great intramurals, and a lively social atmosphere.

If you go, make sure you bring a warm coat!

Marymount College Tarrytown, NY
Major: Psychology

I was a terrible student in high school.  I cut class and didn't do my work.  But I had a wonderful teacher who saw something good in me, and who inspired me to go to college.  He helped me with my application, and I received a scholarship for all 4 years of college to Marymount.

Marymount was an all women college founded by nuns who believed in the importance of educating young women.  The years I spent at Marymount opened my mind to learning and helped me become who I am today.

The motto of Marymount was
"TUA LUCE DIRIGE" which means YOUR LIGHT GUIDES US.

Santa Clara University & California State University, Chico
Major: Math/Biology

Santa Clara University is the first and oldest university in California, founded in 1851.  I was recruited to play football at Santa Clara and received a football scholarship.  Interesting fact: the Broncos won the Sugar, Orange and Cotton bowls during their history, but, sadly, no longer has a football team.  I did not stay at Santa Clara very long, but I returned to school obtaining my Associates Degree at the College of San Mateo, a junior college and went on to attend the California State University campus in Chico, CA where I finished my Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Sciences in 1989.  Many years later in 2007,  I earned a Masters of Education at Manhattanville College.  Santa Clara is a long way away in California, but I still look back fondly on my time there. It is a fun campus located in the middle of the Silicon Valley.  The California State University system is another wonderful education system and the campus in Chico, CA is a nature lovers paradise. The largest municipally owned park in the United States, Bidwell Park, located in Chico, is where the original Robin Hood starring Errol Flynn was filmed.   Check out the virtual tours below!

Gettysburg College is located in south central Pennsylvania in the midst of Civil War battlefields.  Several of the oldest buildings on the campus were used during the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863.
It is a small liberal arts college that offers many majors and opportunities. The classes are usually small, and students get to know their professors and classmates well.
The Sunderman Conservatory of Music is the current music department at the college, though it was not yet in existence when I attended in the late 1980's.  It offers courses for both music majors and non-majors alike.
There is always something to do on the campus, and the town itself has many interesting and historic places to visit and explore.

Tarrytown , NY
Major: English Literature
Minor: Education

I have fond memories of my small, all girl college.  I attended Marymount College through their weekend program where I was able to maintain my weekday teaching assistant job.   Marymount was nestled in the beautiful hills of Tarrytown, New York and was right in the backyard of the famous Sleepy Hollow.
Although Marymount College closed it's doors in 2007 I wanted to share it's history with you.  Check out the link below.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Marymount College was established by Mother Marie Joseph Butler. Born Johanna Butler in County Kilkenny, Ireland, she entered the order of the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary and served in the congregation's schools in Portugal before coming to the United States.

In December 1907, Mother Butler (accompanied by Mother Gerard Phelan and a few other nuns) came to Tarrytown with the intention of establishing a boarding and day school for young women. The school opened in February 1908 with six students studying a high school level and by 1918 the school expanded to an advanced two year degree..

Mother Butler and Mother Gerard were working toward becoming a four-year college awarding baccalaureate degrees. A provisional college charter was granted in 1919. The college charter became permanent in 1924, the first year that Marymount granted baccalaureate degrees.

The highest enrollment in Marymount's history, approximately 1,100 students, was reached in the early 1970s. During this time, in response to a changing educational climate and introduction of the federal Title IX legislation, there was serious consideration of the possibility of Marymount becoming co-educational. However, after deliberation of the idea, a Long-Range Planning Committee concluded that Marymount's mission should remain that of providing quality undergraduate education to women only.

Marymount remained a pioneer of new ideas when it introduced the Weekend College in 1975. This program offered adults, most of whom were employed full-time, the opportunity to pursue a college degree through weekend classes. In 1976, Fordham University began offering graduate-level programs in social work, education and business on property near the Marymount campus (owned by the R.S.H.M.), but this had no effect on the independent status of either institution.

In 1997, Marymount celebrated the 90th anniversary of its founding with a Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral, made extra special since the Mass was composed and sung by alumna Donna Cribari.

In 2000, faced with declining enrollment and the increasing financial burdens experienced by many small liberal arts colleges during this time, Marymount sought assistance through a merger with Fordham University. Marymount and Fordham had many ties over the years.

The Agreement of Consolidation was announced in December, 2000, and Fordham declared its intentions to continue to operate Marymount as an undergraduate women's college for as long as it was "academically and financially feasible" to do so. With Fordham's assistance, many of the campus facilities were updated or re-furbished, and a task force was formed to review the operating costs of the College and make recommendations for future plans. After several years, the results of the task force review indicated that the College was experiencing such financial difficulties that it could no longer be sustained. In October 2005, after months of deliberation, the decision was made by Fordham to close the Marymount campus in June 2007 and to merge any remaining students into Fordham's degree programs.

The Class of 2007 was the last to receive a degree from Marymount College. However, the legacy lives on as the 10,000 alumnae who attended Marymount make their mark on the world, taking with them the quality education, strength of character and religious ideals of those who dedicated their lives to the development of Marymount College, Tarrytown.
