“I can honestly say I couldn’t have found a better fit for me than Ramapo College. I was given so many opportunities that challenged me to go outside of my comfort zone, and I am so grateful for every day I got to spend at Ramapo. I can confidently look back at my time at Ramapo and smile, because I know, without a doubt, that the faculty, staff, and I did everything possible to ensure that my four years at Ramapo were phenomenal.” – Cara Daniello ’15, a Communication Arts major with concentration in Writing and double minor in Literature and Creative Writing, received the Outstanding Academic Achievement Award in Writing.
