Of tremendous benefit is the opportunity to meet in person with key U Rochester staff who lead student life and the student experience. Their professional insights ensure the complete U Rochester experience comes to life for the whole family. We’re so delighted to be part of this vibrant community.”<\/em><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n -Dr. Jeffrey E. Pontiff MS’90 PHD’93 P\u201928 and Mrs. Valerie F.
