Forty-one high school guidance counselors and private consultants from across the nation visited The College of Saint Elizabeth (CSE), July 14, 2008.

The visit was part of an Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of New Jersey (AICUNJ) hosted state-wide tour of independent colleges. Nationwide counselors and consultants learned more about what the CSE Women’s College has to offer throughout lunch, a campus walking tour, and a question and answer session with CSE cabinet members, deans, and student ambassadors. “The young women who serve as student ambassadors are always the highlight of the tours,” said Lynn Mertz, assistant to the President of the AICUNJ, the organization which coordinates the event each year since the tour’s inception at CSE suggestion eight years ago.
