Sarata Toriola

Associate Director, Admissions and New Student Experience

Responsibilities: I support students from the point of accepting their admissions to their first day of classes. I also manage enrollment and new registration operations for Bank Street’s graduate programs. I ensure the delivery of essential services and programming to ensure students are onboarded successfully and can start their graduate programs with ease.

About Me: I was born in New York and I am currently living in Manhattan (just three subway stops away from Bank Street College!). I have spent the better part of my career working in education and nonprofit management. I have 10 years of cumulative teaching experience as well as extensive knowledge of helping adults reach their academic and career goals.

Why Bank Street: Bank Street is a collaborative and community-oriented place where faculty, students, and staff all have the opportunity to be successful and reach their full potential. As a former teacher, I love being able to play a (small) part in the college’s mission of preparing teachers and education leaders to change the world and better society.

Favorite Local Spot: The Craftsman on Broadway on 124th Street. Best Frosé in town!
