NEW ROCHELLE,
NY, April 8, 2005 -- At its second annual celebration
last night for National Student Athlete Day, The College
of New Rochelle (CNR) recognized the achievements of 38
outstanding student athletes enrolled in the School of
Arts & Sciences
and School of Nursing, all of whom have maintained a
minimum 3.0 GPA. With the help of the six Blue Angels athletic
teams, CNR also conducted a successful book drive for new
and gently used books for children up to age 14. The drive
netted more than 85 books and surpassed last year’s
premiere drive. The books were all donated to the YMCA
of New Rochelle After-School Program, which serves 130
local children residing in New Rochelle.
