“Today, I am working in my dream career in the music industry in London. My years spent at Saint Rose prepared me academically and socially to make this jump but, even more, I was prepared because of the interactions I had with alumni, faculty and musicians in the field. The Saint Rose music industry program is cutting edge and supports the development of each student.
