IN MEMORIUM The SVC community mourns the recent loss of two longtime friends and supporters. One of the College’s longest serving trustees, Michael F. Rolla, passed away in December 2013. From Gardner, Mass., Rolla believed in SVC’s mission and worked tirelessly to help the College succeed. Rolla was, himself, a firstgeneration college student; he understood the value of higher education. Samuel “Sandy” Laitman, a resident of Williamstown, Mass., passed away on March 13, 2014. Laitman was a champion of SVC’s personalized education, and his generosity enabled many of SVC’s programs to succeed. President Karen Gross recently awarded Mr. Laitman an Honorary degree, the Doctor of Humane Letters, from the College.
