Testimonials

“I received both my BA and MA from Marist ... and when I had to go back to fulfill teaching requirements they worked with me to arrange classes that fit my schedule and their staff are so accommodating and helpful.” –Tiffany Helms, Astor Services

"Astor Services has been very fortunate to be able to partner with Marist College in an effort to provide our employees with a quality education at a generously discounted tuition. Since Astor began partnering with Marist College,  several of our employees, and their family members, have been able to take advantage of this opportunity.  Our employees are not only dedicated to the work they do with children and families, they are eager to learn and grow in their field.  Marist College has provided that opportunity!  Specifically, Astor has two employees working on advanced degrees, which will be a true benefit to the agency.  One teacher assistant is working on a degree in school psychology and another supervisor in a home based program is pursuing her Master’s in Business Administration. As an employer, we are so pleased to be able to encourage our employees to further their educations, which in turn makes our agency better!" - Kate Bagshaw, Director of Human Resources & Labor Relations, Astor Services for Children & Families

“Partnering with Marist is a great benefit for our employees and their families. As an educational institution that values lifelong learning, this partnership creates an added incentive for our employees who want a quality college education that is close to home. We’re lucky to have such a valuable partnership, and I know our faculty and staff agree.” – Dr. Paul Padalino, Superintendent of Kingston City School District

“Health Quest has been fortunate to have Marist College as an educational partner since 2014. During this time, we have provided full- and part-time employees and their adult family members with access to high-quality degree programs through the college. Many of the employees within our family of healthcare providers in the mid-Hudson Valley have benefited from this partnership by pursuing and earning their bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business, public administration, information systems, etc. Our partnership with Marist helps us to offer flexible, local opportunities for our staff to develop new skills, achieve their educational goals while fulfilling our mission to deliver exceptional healthcare to the communities we serve.” - Jacquelyn Mountford, Director, Organizational Learning/Leadership Development, Health Quest Learning & Talent Development

"Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union (HVFCU) has partnered with Marist College for many years to provide employees with the opportunity to gain an exceptional education at a reduced cost. Through this program, HVFCU can support our staff’s efforts to develop and strengthen their skills and competencies, which in turn increases their engagement as a highly valued employee." - Rebecca Simmons, MBA, PHR, SHRM-CP, Director of Talent Management, Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union
