Maria College may be small in size, but its impact on New York State is truly remarkable. Each year, the college generates an estimated $28 million in economic activity, strengthening the Capital Region in meaningful and lasting ways.
Beyond the numbers, Maria’s influence is felt every day. Faculty, staff, and students support local businesses, contribute to the vibrancy of our neighborhoods, and engage deeply through volunteerism, internships, experiential learning, and civic involvement. With 800 students rooted in the Capital Region and more than 8,500 alumni serving their communities with compassion and purpose, Maria College continues to shape a stronger, more caring future for all of us.
We are proud to celebrate an institution that calls the Capital Region home — and helps make it better every day.
