What Students Say
"Professor Romano is a friend, a mentor and a wealth of technological and educational knowledge. The goal of liberal arts is to make a person more well-rounded, empathetic and able to deal with the real world. Vicky embodies all of these goals and makes it a personal mission that any who are lucky enough to encounter her acquire these skills as well. She is rational, realistic and helpful and only asks that her students give the absolute best. During my time of knowing her, my life has been changed for the better and for good."
