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.

To register, prospective students can call 1-800-290-7900 or click apply@cses.edu.
