NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y., Dec. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — From acquiring a new campus and launching the NewYork-Presbyterian Iona School of Health Sciences to rediscovering a lost Baroque painting hidden in plain sight for decades, Iona College celebrated dozens of newsworthy accomplishments in 2021.
Guided by the leadership of President Seamus Carey, Ph.D., Iona’s forward-thinking strategies have helped this Catholic liberal arts college emerge as an anomaly in higher education, with new student enrollment spiking 32 percent in the past two years.
"Iona is a school on the rise, and I believe the momentum will continue to build," said President Seamus Carey, Ph.D.
"Despite the headwinds facing higher education, 2021 was a remarkable year for Iona College," said Carey. "Iona is a school on the rise, and I believe the momentum will continue to build as many of our plans are still coming to fruition. Thank you to the Iona community for heeding the call to innovate. Together, we continue to ‘Fight the Good Fight’ and lead by example."
