Check out some of the testimonials from our alumni on why they give back!

    - Jacqueline Matuza ‘03

    - Lindsey Van Alstyne ‘09
     
  •  “I give back because my goal is to see that the incoming students from all over the globe have the same chance, education, and opportunities of those before them. When you are called upon to give back to the College, think not only of yourself but of the current students and fellow alumni of Manhattanville, and pay it forward. Make the promise today to give back, to ensure the bright future of the College and its graduates.”
