College of Saint Elizabeth to Host First Golf Outing

The College of Saint Elizabeth (CSE), 2 Convent Road, Morristown, is inviting golfers to tee up at its first Golf Outing to benefit CSE scholarships at Cedar Hill Golf & Country Club, 100 Walnut Street, Livingston, New Jersey, on Thursday, July 15, 2010, (rain date: July 22).

“Players and their golf partners, or better yet, foursomes, are invited for a friendly game of golf for a good cause,” said Eric Becher, CSE vice president, Institutional Advancement. “Due to the recent, drastic budget cuts in aid to higher education, fund-raisers, such as the golf outing, have become a crucial means of support for many of our students.”

In addition to the golf game, participants can support the College through a variety of sponsorships. Non-golfers won’t have to miss out on the fun, either. They are welcome to attend the dinner reception.

For more information, visit the CSE website at www.cse.edu/golfouting or contact Rose Marie Andriola at 973-290-4449, or at randriola@cse.edu.

Sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth, Convent Station, New Jersey, the College of Saint Elizabeth enrolls more than 2,100 full- and part-time than 25 undergraduate, 10 graduate and one doctoral degree programs.

Enjoy a Day of Culture at the College of Saint Elizabeth

Stroll through an art exhibition featuring the works of 30 artists … enjoy a picnic dinner under the trees … watch a play in an open air theatre … and do it all in one day at the College of Saint Elizabeth (CSE), 2 Convent Road, Morristown, N.J.

Audience Will Enjoy This Adaptation
Of a Classic Comedy
This summer CSE is again hosting the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey as it continues its extraordinarily popular annual summer tradition of family theatre “under-the-stars” with a new translation/adaptation of Carlo Goldoni’s hilarious comedy The Servant of Two Masters. This new translation and adaptation of the “Moliere of Italy’s” popular comedy, which opened June 23, will delight audiences of all ages.

The performances are scheduled Tuesday through Sunday through August 1, 2010, at 8:15 p.m., at the outdoor Greek theatre on the campus. This replica of an ancient Greek theatre nestled into the hillside on the campus offers a theatrical event unique on the East Coast. The beautiful grass-and-stone amphitheatre – inspired by the Theatre of Dionysus in Athens, and one of the only theatres of its kind in the United States – debuted as The Shakespeare Theatre’s Outdoor Stage in 2002.

Tickets are $32 for adults and $17 for ages 17 and under. For tickets or more information, call 973-408-5600 or visit www.ShakespeareNJ.org. Patrons may also purchase ticket packages for additional discounts. Groups of 10 or more are eligible for group discounts.

Patrons are invited to picnic before and during the performance on the lawn. Audience members may bring their own food and non-alcoholic beverages. They can bring a blanket or low beach chair, or rent a stadium seat for $3. Complimentary hand-held fans will be provided courtesy of Air Group Heating and Air Conditioning Co., while supplies last. Seating is general admission.

College of Saint Elizabeth Welcomes Prospective Students at Summer Tours

Norma Schiavone, ’12, can clearly recall when she knew the College of Saint Elizabeth (CSE) was the school for her. That defining moment came with a simple sentence from an admission counselor.

Says Schiavone, a Sociology major, “It was my first campus tour of CSE and right from the beginning I really loved it! As my mom and I walked around the campus, we felt so welcomed by the admission staff. Everyone was just so friendly and answered all our questions. As I walked around campus, it felt like home to me.

“At the end of the tour, I was talking with admission counselors Ann Madison and Carlye Koehler. Ann asked me my name. After I told her, she said, ‘Okay, Norma, we’ll remember you.’ For some reason that moment always stuck in my head. I knew that CSE would always be a great choice for me because I love the fact that you are not just a number at the school, and that the faculty really cares about you.”

On Tuesday, July 20, Wednesday, July 28, and Thursday, August 5, The College of Saint Elizabeth, 2 Convent Road, Morristown, N.J., will once again roll out the welcome mat when it hosts Summer Visits for prospective students.

During both Summer Visits, which start at 10 a.m. and end at noon, prospective students will meet with admission counselors and student ambassadors to learn about the admission process and scholarship opportunities. They will also learn about the College’s academic and extracurricular programs. In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to tour the campus and join the College for a picnic.
