There’s no shortage of talented musicians who have at one time or another called Nyack College home. But I’m not sure if any of them have ever had as bright a spotlight shined on them as Rashida Jolley’s (’03) recent performance on America’s Got Talent.
Cheryl and I watched her performance on the show the other night, but I never put two and two together until a bunch of other Nyack alumni started Tweeting the heck out of this video. She was there after my time on “The Hillside”, but I do remember seeing her on campus and hearing her play her harp when I worked at the school.
I guess I know who the Bertou household is rooting for!
Shane Bertou

Wasn’t already in the Miss America contest at one point as Miss Washington DC?
I believe so, yes. Miss America and America’s Got Talent. Not a bad resume.
yeah i googled her and it looks like all around she hasn’t been doing too bad for herself! 😉 i am sure it was the nyack education that started it all off!
