Nazareth College of Rochester

I’ve come a few times to Nazareth College Arts Center to watch some dance shows.
Lately, I came because of the invitation of Elena Nápoles Goldfeder, the Director of Casa Hispana for different activities during the period of september-​December 2014: An Open House, Monday Nights at the Movies (during Hispanic Month celebration), Talk Series & International Christmas Celebration.
Each occasion the festivities are full of people, food and lively chat & singing during the Holidays.
I am thinking of registering for some languages classes soon.
Sept-​Dec 2014

Art show @ the Fine Arts Gallery, nice stuff. The annual Art Faculty show, nice artworks too bad the turnout was not that big, gotta wonder if it was promoted very much, as it seemed that the only people in attendance were connected the Naz or the artists. Good stuff, check it out.

It’s been a couple of years since I graduated from Naz with my Bachelor’s degree. More than a couple, actually. :-) I chose Naz because of its small student to teacher ratio, gorgeous lay-​out of the campus, and two-​hour drive from home.
Given the size of the school and the classes, it’s pretty easy to get to know the professors. They genuinely seemed interested in seeing their students grow and take advantage of career opportunities. After I graduated, I actually had a professor get in touch with me to tell me she had a pamphlet for me about a graduate fellowship that I might be interested in – a fellowship that would later give me a free ride to grad school. ;-)
Despite it being a small school, there was always a lot to do. Their language programs, in particular, were a great source of entertainment outside of classes. I remember many fine dinners spent at the French House – far away from the dreaded cafeteria. ;-) Student government is surprisingly active for a smaller school. The extracurricular offerings were many and quite diverse.
The campus has since expanded. I got a peek at it a couple summers ago at an alumni function. It looked great and, to be honest, I wished the expansion had been complete when I was still a student there. :-)
