Meet Our Student Ambassadors

Year: Sophmore

Major: Education & History 

Track & Field 

New Rochelle, New York 

I chose Manhattanville because of its excellent academic programs as well as its friendly and small school atmosphere. Manhattanville has given me the opportunity to grow socially, academically, and athletically. Something I enjoy doing at Manhattanville is watching and supporting our athletic teams by going to the various home games. I am also a member of the Student Government as the Athletics Representative where I advocate and support our athletic teams and programs. 

Year: Senior

Major: Musical Theatre 

Warsaw, OH 

My name is Roo Cameron and I am a Junior Musical theater major. I’m also from Warsaw, Ohio. I work for admissions with a great team of people in the castle! When I am not working with Reslife or admissions / in class or in rehearsals, I am choreographing for Manhattanville Dance Ensemble as their Vice President, organizing events, or just hanging out with my friends. 

Year: Sophomore

Major: Education & English

Long Island, NY 

Some clubs that I am part of at Manhattanville are BSA (Black Student Association), LASO (Latin American Student Organization), and I am also a Clark Scholar. Ever since I got an in-person, in depth biography of Manhattanville from one of the admissions counselors here, I knew that it was going to be my second home. I fell in love with the diversity of the staff, the quietness of the campus, the tight-knit community, and the education program that was offered here. It was easily the best choice I made for my higher education career. 

Year: Senior

Major: Digital Media

Production & Business Management

Del Rio, TX

I chose Manhattanville for the easy transfer of credits and the major Digital Media Production. In high school I took Dual Credit classes, and those credits were able to transfer here, letting me accelerate through my major. Being able to do so, allowed me to declare another major, Business Management. I’ve grown in two different fields in just four years!
 
Through my time on campus, I was able to restart our Radio Station – WMVL.  It is now an internet-based radio station, with 14 live shows, and is growing! Moreover, I am an RA and it’s just another way to be actively involved with my community! I host movie nights, hula hoop competitions, sewing tutorials, and pizza parties! I look forward to being able to DJ for Quad Jam this spring and help with the planning and organizing of the event!

Year: Senior

Major: Business Management 

Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic 

I chose Manhattanville because I found my admission process to be such a great experience in comparison to other schools I was applying to, as well as the diversity that the campus has to offer. I am certain that coming to Mville was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Involvement is something that has allowed me exposure to making great friendships and connections as well as gaining new experiences that will most certainly be helpful in the future. I am President of Latin Fusion which is one of the dance clubs/ teams on campus, as well as part of LASO (Latin American Student Organization). These clubs I'm involved with have allowed me to express my culture in many ways and continue to provide an inclusive safe space to do the things I love.

I knew Manhattanville was the place for me after seeing all the opportunities available to me such as being a nursing student and able to pursue a sport I have loved since the age of 3. I was also excited to know that the professors I would be working with have all have experience in the field of nursing. I am a Clark Scholar and participate in the Latin American Student Organization Club on campus. 

Year: Senior

Major: Business Management; Minor: Psychology & Communication  

Mahopac, NY 

I chose Manhattanville because not only is it close to home, but I also felt I could really fit in here. Manhattanville ended up becoming my second home or a home away from home. Since we are a small school, we do have such a close-knit community. Which makes it easy for us as students to not only make friends but connections with our professors and peers. Something interesting about myself is I started working in admissions my freshman year of college and have been here since. When I am not working, I enjoy spending my time at Manhattanville hanging out with friends and of course making new ones, going to the Market and game zone on campus and lastly the library to get my work and assignments done. 

Year: Junior

Major: Criminal Justice and Law 

Staten Island, New York 

Men's Basketball team  

I chose to come to Manhattanville because of the warm, welcoming feeling you get when stepping on to this campus. It felt like a home away from home for me before I was even enrolled. Making friends and connections with both classmates, professors, and peers has never been easier at Manhattanville. The valiant community is truly like a family. I look forward to joining the Pre-Law Society next semester and continuing my work as a student ambassador!  

Year: Sophomore

Bronx, NY 

I chose Manhattanville because it was the place that I felt would allow me to grow the most as an individual, aswell as learn skills I did not know I needed to be successful, because I am a first generation college student.

Manhattanville is only 20 minutes away from my home, as well as my previous volleyball club and school. 

Year: Sophomore

Major: Nursing 

Putnam Valley, NY

I came to Manhattanville because I felt like it would be a great fit for me and it has been. I love that we have small class sizes and that I am not just a number to my teachers. I also love the dynamics of this school. I always call it a big little school because it is just big enough that you may not know everyone but small enough that there is still an amazing community here. I love to hang out with my friends at the market, I’m almost always studying and I love to read!

I chose Manhattanville because of its location and the community. I love that it’s so close to home, it makes it easy to go to the city and connect with family and friends. The community here is so welcoming. I found that being part of a small community would allow me to connect with students and my professors on a deeper level. You’re never just a number here, everyone truly takes the time to get to know you and value who you are and that’s what I love about being here. 

Year: Junior

Major: Musical Theater Minor: Dance

Chatham, New York.

I chose to come to Manhattanville because of the close-knit community and the endless opportunities to explore the things that interested me. Because of the closeness to the city and the many interesting classes and clubs that are offered, I really found I was able to be a very active part of the Mville community and become super involved, especially in the arts. On campus I am in two different dance clubs (Manhattanville Dance Troupe and MIMO), I am a Clark Scholar and a part of Manhattanville’s Castle Scholars Honors program. As a part of the service scholarship I run a community service program called Art of Dance for kids from the community. Beyond that I enjoy spending time with my friends around campus, singing in the practice rooms and going into the city!

I chose Mville because of its location, vibe, opportunities, and overall sense of community. I have been able to make wonderful connections with professors and peers that I know I can keep for a very long time! 

Year: Junior

Major: Sociology

Brooklyn, NY

I chose Manhattanville University because the campus alone was so beautiful, and the castle really caught my attention. It was important for me to attend a small school, but also wanted to experience being away from home, and find who I am as a person. Something that I like to do here on campus is go to the gym and go out for walks around campus. In my time at Manhattanville, I have joined Latin American Student Organization (LAS)) and I am constantly looking forward to Red Madness and Quad Jam.
