The Mount continues to meet and exceed those four distinctions, ranking us as a leading institution for New York State, as well as earning recognition as a college that maintains its culture of diversity, equity, and authentic inclusivity by emphasizing our Vincentian tradition of service, Setonian tradition of spirituality, and Catholic intellectual tradition. These principles are all informed by high-impact practices to prioritize the ways that institutions enable students to have a fulfilling, individualized college experience both in and outside of the classroom. Instead, their selection process comprises a sequence of in-depth research and detailed interviews with the schools, accepting only those that adhere to the Four Distinctions: Engaged Students, Great Teaching, Vibrant Community, and Successful Outcomes. We want to extend our praise to the schools that prioritize and cater to students’ goals.”Īnd they don’t just hand out such a recognition to any institution-Colleges of Distinction believes that a thorough selection process requires more than an overview of institutional data, statistics, and size of endowment. “Every student has individual needs and their own environment in which they’re most likely to thrive. “We’re inspired by the ways in which the College of Mount Saint Vincent immerses students in their fields, all while fostering a welcoming community that will support them through and beyond their college years,” said Wes Creel, Founder of Colleges of Distinction. The College has also received endorsements for six additional categories-Catholic, New York, Business, Education, Nursing, and Career Development-proving that the Right Place on the River is much more than just one of the most famous collegiate catchphrases out there. Mount Saint Vincent has yet again been recognized by Colleges of Distinction for its honorable commitment to helping undergraduate students learn, grow, and succeed-but that’s not all.
