I was grateful to read this reflection from Anamarie Cass, one of Rosary College’s first students. When we launched Rosary College, our aim was straightforward: provide an authentically Catholic, rigorous, and affordable liberal arts education for students who wanted serious formation without taking on unnecessary debt. Anamarie’s experience is a strong reminder of why that mission matters. She worked hard, took on a demanding academic load, and made the most of the opportunity. It is encouraging to see that her time at Rosary College helped prepare her well for the next stage of her education. I am thankful for her kind words about our faculty, our courses, and the college’s first year. Building a new institution is never easy, but testimonials like this remind us that the work is worthwhile. Thank you, Anamarie. We are proud of you and grateful that you were part of Rosary College’s inaugural student body. R.
