was a find for a Division II school, a prospect who could come in and play

• Donald Conserve’s
Story:
His mission: BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER
|
|
|
While a student at Queens
College, Donaldson Conserve began helping others in various ways, which
recently earned him special recognition at graduation as the recipient of
the Chaney-Goodman-Schwerner Award.
Originally from Cite Soleil, Haiti, Conserve came to the United States in
1999.
“Both my parents left me to go to find more opportunities and eventually
they would have me join them in the U.S. when things got better for them,”
he said. “My mother had been living here for at least 10 years, and she
filed for me to join her.” read

• Carla Pennolino,
Faith Tessmer, and Caroline Carbone’s Story:
Don’t Call It a Dorm
|
|
|
FAITH TESSMER, a redhead from Ohio, has three
rhinestone studs in each ear and a passion for Mahler, the
Beatles
and the color aqua. When it came to applying to college, she started with a
list of 80 schools and ended up at
Queens College,
largely because it was the one place that best satisfied her two main
interests — softball (she’s a pitcher) and the French horn, which she hopes
to play professionally.

Students Profiles of Excellence
• Vasilios Passias
|
 |
Vasilios, or Billy as his friends know him, is a junior double majoring in
physics and applied mathematics. He
is the vice president of the Queens College Physics Club and an active member of
the badminton team. Accepted to
both NYU and Queens College, Billy chose the latter based on its affordability
and its proximity to his home. Now
he says, "This decision paid off well, because I would have never have had the
research opportunities I have now working in Professor Menon’s Laboratory for Nano and Micro Photonics." This work
has already afforded him the ability to co-author the research paper
Luminescence From a Fibonacci Photonic
Crystal. After graduation he
hopes to attend graduate school and obtain a Ph.D in physics.

• Nadia Tatari
|
 |
President of the Political Science Club, Nadia chose Queens College because of
the quality education it offers and its proximity to her family. Her childhood dream has been to become a lawyer so she is concentrating
her studies on the law and politics.
"With help from faculty, I was able to land an internship with New York
State Supreme Court Justice Roger Rosengarten.
With experiences both in and out of the classroom, I look forward to
future opportunities a Queens College education will afford me."
