Senior, Sara Nodroff, with Dr. Bob Berckes, Principal, and Mrs. Ann Georgetti, Director of Guidance

January 3, 2008

Sara Nodroff, a senior at St. Mary High School, received a very special "gift" just a few days before Christmas. Her dream of attending The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, located in New York City, became a reality when she was offered Early Decision admission to the Civil Engineering Program at the Albert Nerken School of Engineering. Every student receives a full tuition scholarship. The total amount of Sara's scholarship is approximately $120,000.00 for four years.

Sara immediately wanted to share this "good news" with Mrs. Ann Georgetti, her guidance counselor at St. Mary High School, who had guided her through the application process. The Cooper Union is a

very prestigious institute of higher learning. Mrs. Georgetti knew that Sara was competing with top students of exceptional ability and talent from across the country, and was delighted to receive Sara's call.

Sara looks forward to studying at the Albert Nerken School of Engineering, the largest of The Cooper Union's schools, which is top-ranked in undergraduate engineering. Faculty, students and alumni exemplify The Cooper Union's national reputation for academic excellence, outstanding achievement and professional distinction and, to be sure, Sara will continue that tradition.

Sara, an outstanding and dedicated student, is congratulated by Dr. Bob Berckes, Principal, and Mrs. Ann Georgetti, Director of Guidance.
