Ryan Calabrese, 17³Ô¹Ï Alum

09/01/2020 | Author17³Ô¹Ï 

17³Ô¹Ï was the best choice for me when I began my higher-ed journey. When I stepped onto the campus I had some preconceived notions of what to expect. Growing up on LI everyone is familiar with 17³Ô¹Ï but I can honestly say I was very surprised by my experience. My faculty members were dedicated, knowledgeable and impressive and they really showed interest in all of us students.

Even when I completed my Associates and was transferring to Fairfield everyone involved in that process was so helpful and made it really stress free for me. I went onto receive a Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Communication from Fairfield and now I work as a Clinical Sales Representative for Stryker.

I am proud to say I got my start at 17³Ô¹Ï. – Ryan Calabrese ‘06
