“USN has always been to me a private school with a public purpose,” said Roderick White, Director of USN's Office of Diversity & Community Life. “All students, no matter where they attend high school, who want to attend college should have the opportunity to get informed about the admissions process, and we have a responsibility to assist in any way we can to make that a reality.”
