FROM THE ALUMNI PRESIDENT Dear College Alumni and Friends, One of the great pleasures of being a member of your Alumni Association Board of Directors is being able to take part in the Annual Commencement Ceremony in May. This year, as your Association President, I was able to welcome the new graduates. Witnessing the joy of those who received their degrees from the College President Brian Durant is a memory I will not soon forget. I was also honored to assist our College President in presenting awards to this year’s Alumni Award recipients, and following Commencement the Association hosted a reception for our 2016 Alumni Award winners, where they were joined Gerry by their families and friends to be recognized for their achievements. This Guiney ‘82 year’s winners covered a broad spectrum of accomplishments international, national, and local. Each individual has had a great impact in their field. The occasion was well attended by the Alumni Board, the College President and the Foundation Director, members of the Foundation Board and College Board of Trustees, and TRAVEL WITH CCC ALUMS! other dignitaries.
