We invited alumni from milestone anniversary years to join us during graduation in May 2022. Included were (from left to right): Rose Pekala, Gail Strouss Duffy, Karen Cerrato, and Anne Bambi Dearoff. All were Class of 1972, celebrating their 50th Anniversary, except for Anne, who is Class of 1967.
A special thank you to Class of 1966, Barbara Osinski, who served as the Alumni Speaker during the 2022 Commencement Ceremony.
Oskinski shared encouraging and inspiring remarks to the Class of 2022, saying “You can do more. You can do better. Why? Because you have been taught here at Manor College. There were values instilled here far beyond what you learned in the classroom. Respect one another. Care for your community, including those you don’t know but need help. Show Love for your neighbors. Be Kind. Because that’s what the world needs right now. PEACE, KINDNESS, CARE! It needs you, the graduating Class of 2022. Just like it needed us 56 years ago when I graduated with the friends I still cherish today.”
