July 1 - Postmark deadline for all application materials.

June 11 - Last chance to take the Liberal Arts and Sciences Test (LAST) for fall enrollment (the registration deadline for this test is May 6; propective students are encouraged to take the test before this date)

Though these deadlines seem far away, they will approach very quickly.  Submitting materials after these deadlines will prevent you from beginning in the fall, so it is vital that you get started now.

As always, contact Jeff Hoops at (845) 675-4466 or admissions.mse@nyack.edu if you have any questions.

Administration and School of Education faculty participated in the Ceremony, which included the  presentation of two awards.  The  Academic Excellence Award  was bestowed upon  Martha Diaz and the award for Excellence in Research  was bestowed upon Martha Diaz. The Hooding Ceremony included an address by Mr. Walter Woodhouse, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction for the Nyack Public Schools, who recalled his career in education and the influence of a single teacher.  He asked the graduates to never underestimate their influence in the classroom.

Students participating in the Hooding Ceremony were:

Martha Diaz                MSE in Childhood Education / Honors with Distinction
Tracy Fields                MSE in Childhood Education
Angelique Hernandez   MSE in Childhood Education / Honors
Cynthia James            MSE in Special Education
Luther Plummer          MSE in Special Education
Jill Shattuck                MSE in Childhood Education / Honors
Lenore Thompson       MSE in Childhood Education]]> Mon, 24 May 2010 09:51:14 GMT http://www.nyack.edu//blog/MSEdNews/678 <![CDATA[Homecoming Fall 2010 Alumni/ae lunch]]> http://www.nyack.edu//blog/MSEdNews/647 Posted by Jeffrey.Hoops All Graduate School of Education alumi/ae are cordially invited to a lunch at this fall's homecoming event.  More details will be posted later, so keep checking back!

We at Nyack’s Graduate School of Education are pleased to announce that we will now be offering a new format for some of our open houses – online! This means that you can attend an information session in the convenience of your own home!

To be sure, nothing can ever replace face-to-face interaction, and for that reason, we recommend that you do everything you can to attend an actual open house. But sometimes that’s just not possible, and we don’t want you to miss the opportunity to ask questions and get more information simply because you can’t attend an in-person session.

To view dates and register for one of these open houses, visit http://www.nyack.edu/calendar/MSED. After you RSVP, we will send you an email confirming your registration with the link for the online session. To register by phone, call (845) 675-4466.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
