ALUMNI UPDATES, PICTURES & ARTICLES

Sarah Dobe (BA in English, 2005)

Since graduating in 2005 with a BA in English, there have been so many changes! I just completed my graduate work from Slippery Rock University in PA this June, and now have an MA in Student Personnel Administration (Higher Ed). I got married to Matthew Georger in June, and am now moving to SUNY Brockport, where I will begin my new job as a Residence Director for a freshman residential community. Niagara is such a part of my life that I return every year to be the Student Staff Coordinator each year at CARE. And although everyone asks, "what are you doing here??" I am glad to be a part of this campus again.

Aniceto Dina Doria (MS in Criminal Justice Administration, 2003)

My name is Aniceto Dino Doria and I graduated from NU on 17 May 2003 with a Masters of Science in Criminal Justice Administration. Since then I have been employed full time at Centennial College Police Foundation program, Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. In September, 2007, I moved to Humber College to teach full time in the Justice program. I have fond memories of NU. The Justice Professors were always very accessible to guide us every step of the way. I now try to emulate the same caring attitudes with my students up here in Canada.
Thank you once again…

Regards,
