“Like most colleges, Molloy had to adjust the second the pandemic forced the college to shut down in March 2020. Molloy responded immediately with a strong increase in online offerings for its students, in addition to all the safety measures that the college implemented,” says Edward Thompson, Vice President for Advancement, Molloy College.
“Based in Rockville Centre on Long Island, we’re very close to Queens and historically have drawn
a significant percentage of its student population from this borough. Molloy is pleased to be working with the Queens Chamber of Commerce to reach the many Queens residents who are interested in Molloy’s academic offerings.”
