New Rochelle, NY, January 23, 2002 - The Samuel Rudin Academic Resource Center at Iona College has been awarded Regular Level One Certification from the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA), a professional organization that advances standards in higher education. The certification acknowledges that the Rudin Academic Resource Center meets the standards necessary for the training of its tutors, its range of services to students and its adherence to ethical standards.

The Samuel Rudin Academic Resource Center was established in memory of Samuel Rudin in September 1976 with a generous grant from what is now the May and Samuel Rudin Family Foundation. Jack Rudin '86H continues this family philanthropic tradition today, enabling Iona College to provide students with the resources to become independent, self-confident learners. The Center also focuses on freshmen, assisting them in making a smooth transition from high school to college level work. Services are available for students with special needs, as well, including some workstations that are accessible to the physically challenged and a voice recognition computer. These services are free of charge to registered Iona College students.
