Vanessa Rivera
Office of the Registrar
Registrar Services Advisor

Current Role
My main priority working for the Registrar's office is to keep the integrity, security and accuracy of the student's academic records while also making sure that the office runs smoothly.

Background
Seven years ago, I walked through the doors of 180 Remsen Street and a new path in my life began. I enrolled as a student at St. Francis College because I was captivated by the intimacy and closeness I saw between the students, faculty and administration. What I liked most about SFC was the feeling that one wasn’t just a number in a large crowd; but instead, everyone is  treated as an individual. I came from a small, tight knit high school and wanted the same atmosphere for my college experience. I must say I am pleased with my choice.  As a student at SFC, I had the opportunity to work at the Registrar's office through the work-study program.  It was my first job and it allowed me to develop myself as an individual. The experience gave me the strength to overcome many obstacles that were presented to me.  In fact it was this opportunity which opened the door for me to be considered for a full-time position with the office once I graduated in May of 2006.

On working at St. Francis College
I'm proud of the education I earned at SFC and I am even more proud now that I have the chance to give back by providing our student body the strength and security to face the real world.
