I graduated with Masters in 1977, it's the centennial year. My education there afforded me opportunities I would otherwise have missed out on. I loved the small class sizes, the accessibility of teachers, the community on campus as well as Dobbs Ferry itself. I love this school and will always consider myself very fortunate that my parents allowed me to decide where I wanted to go to school. I have never regretted my choice.
