Mary Cariola has served the community for 75 years and has been a strong community partner of Roberts Wesleyan University. They were the first organization to become part of the Corporate Partners program at the university. President Rupert A. Hayles Jr. and Director of University Advancement Matt Zager '08 visited Mary Cariola's East Avenue location on Jan. 17 to meet with President and CEO Karen Zandi. 

 

 

Hayles and Zager were able to see first-hand the services Mary Cariola Center provides for special education students and people with disabilities. They were able to interact and have discussions with the staff and students and learn about educational interventions and strategies. "We also had the opportunity to hear from alumni about how transformational their Roberts experience was in preparing them for their continued success at Mary Cariola," said Zager. "Mary Cariola's leadership expressed their gratitude for Roberts providing educational opportunities for their employees that aren't offered by other regional higher educational institutions, especially with a focus on working with students with special needs." Mary Cariola employees are currently enrolled and have graduated from the university's programs including Pathway to Teaching and Master of Social Work. 

 

Mary Cariola provides educational services to students from the Rochester region, as well as from as far away as the Greater Buffalo and Greater Syracuse regions.
