Maria College received a call from Albany Medical Center around 3pm today, Monday, March 27, informing the College that the hospital is currently in lock down due to a “Code Silver,” or an armed assailant alert. The campus and all College offices will be closing at 4pm today. All classes this evening will be conducted remotely, and students scheduled to have class this evening should contact their faculty member for additional information.

Maria College is pleased to welcome Vicki DiLorenzo as its Vice President for Institutional Advancement. As a Cabinet member, she will lead alumni relations, the major and annual giving programs, corporate and foundation relations, and the operational elements of the institutional advancement office.

On Friday, February 17, Maria College officially launched its new brand platform and updated logo to coincide with its newly found identity as a graduate institution and to provide a refresh to the brand of the 65-year-old institution. The College celebrated the brand launch by participating in “Random Acts of Kindness” day with giveaways and friendly gestures throughout the Albany area. The College will also be awarding two one-year tuition paid scholarships for prospective students entering the nursing or occupational therapy assistant programs.
