Celebrate Montclair

A proud alumna of Montclair State University, Rose has maintained close ties to the University and is committed to helping hardworking students from working-class families — what she believes embodies Montclair’s legacy. She has served the University in many capacities, including as a Trustee beginning in 1991, as well as a member of the Foundation Board and the John J. Cali School of Music Advisory Board. She is also the founder and former President and CEO of the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center on campus, one of her most satisfying accomplishments.

Her loyalty and love for the University live on through an endowed gift for music student scholarships that Rose and her late husband, John, established. Through the John J. Cali School of Music, the Cali family’s generous support has transformed the University’s music program, strengthening its growth and excellence and impacting hundreds of students through scholarships. These opportunities allow students to deepen their passion for music and the arts and serve the community as performers, educators, scholars, music therapists and more.

She dedicates herself to many causes and is deeply committed to the Montclair community. She has worked on numerous fundraising efforts for the Montclair Public Library, and her extensive board service includes the Montclair Art Museum (MAM); Montclair Film Festival; Newark Mentoring Movement; the New Jersey Coalition for Inclusive Education; NJPAC Arts Education Committee and Women’s Association of NJPAC; St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital; Liberty Science Center; National Italian American Foundation; Big Brothers Big Sisters of New Jersey and Essex, Hudson and Union Counties; Mental Health Association of Essex County; YWCA Montclair; Salvation Army of Montclair Advisory Board; Montclair Kimberley Academy; Unity Concerts of New Jersey; and Luna Stage.

As a young child, she learned firsthand the importance of helping others when the Salvation Army helped her mother raise her family in New Haven, Connecticut. Rose graduated magna cum laude from Montclair State University in 1980 with a Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Anthropology.
