Ranked #2 for ‘Best College Theater’ and #4 for ‘Most Beautiful Campus’

            STATEN ISLAND, N.Y., July 28, 2008 — Wagner College is listed, once again, in the Princeton Review’s annual “Best 368 Colleges” guide, which was released today.

            A set of six studies on “Recruitment and Retention of Entry-Level Staff in Housing and Residence Life” was recently published by the Association for College and University Housing Officers-International. One of the 10 researchers on the team that produced the studies was Sara Klein, Wagner College’s director of residential education.

Heavy equipment moved this week onto the site of Wagner College's former baseball diamond, digging the foundation hole for our next residence hall. The four-story, 200-bed residence hall will house Senior Program residents.

Wagner College lost a dear friend on July 21, with the passing of Jerome Berg. A longstanding member of the Staten Island and greater New York communities, Berg was a frequent participant in the life of Wagner College as a member of its Chai and DaVinci Societies, and as a benefactor of the school’s Hugh L. Carey Center for Government Reform.
