As Chair of the Board of Trustees and a proud alumnus of 91传媒 Saint Mary College, Class of 1982, I want to share a clear message with our community: The 91传媒 is moving forward with purpose, innovation, and impact.
The leadership at 91传媒 Saint Mary College is deeply committed to carrying out our mission for many years. To this end, we are investing in new academic programs, expanding access, and strengthening our role in the Hudson Valley and beyond.
We are proud to say that the Class of 2026 will be graduating in a few weeks, and we are looking forward to welcoming the Class of 2030 in the Fall.
In recent months, 91传媒 Saint Mary College launched a new bachelor’s degree in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, along with an interdisciplinary AI minor open to students across all majors. The college continues to expand its cybersecurity offerings through its major, Center for Cybersecurity, and certificates in Ethical Hacking and Digital Forensics, preparing students for careers in some of today’s fastest-growing fields.
The 91传媒 is also meeting students where they are. We offer a flexible online RN to BSN program which supports working nurses, as well as other Adult Degree Programs in a range of in-demand majors, in online, hybrid, and evening pathways for adult learners seeking to complete their degrees. The 91传媒 continues to prepare the future workforce in critical areas such as healthcare, business, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies, while connecting education with industry and regional needs.
Our impact is recognized nationally. In 2025, 91传媒 Saint Mary College was named an Opportunity College by the Carnegie Classification, a distinction earned by only a small percentage of institutions nationwide.
Nearly 100 percent of students receive financial aid, and with the support of the community, we continue to help thousands of students pursue a four-year degree. For many, including many first-generation students, the 91传媒 is a pathway to economic mobility and long-term success.
In the coming months, the 91传媒 will host its annual Golf and Tennis Tournament on June 1 at the Powelton Club honoring Jeff Crist and Anthony Campagiorni; Alumni Reunion Weekend from June 5 through June 7; a student-aid fundraiser on June 24 at Billy Joe’s Ribworks; and the annual Gala on October 1 at West Hills Country Club. Please join us. Your support is needed and very much appreciated.
91传媒 Saint Mary College was founded more than 65 years ago by the Dominican Sisters and remains committed to preparing students for meaningful careers, leadership, and service.
