Regina graduate to be honored Syracuse Herald-Journal, Sept. 27, 1976
They come from near and afar, the alumni of the defunct Maria Regina College for a banquet at the Hilton Hotel Garden Inn East Syracuse, NY.
Kudos to Luann Knight and the other Alumna of the two-year Catholic college for women dedicated and committed to organizing the event started on the Maria Regina College Facebook page last year.
I attended from 1974-1976 had organized the first International Student Club at MRC and a member of the President’s Cabinet on campus.
Maria Regina College had played an important role in educating me to aspire to pursue a professional career and to develop leadership skills.
I participated in the Drama Club, ushered at the Syracuse Symphony, and worked summers at the Girl Scouts of America, Rock Hill Camp in Mahopac, NY along with classmate and best friend Maria Balbina Agosto from Macao.
The faculty were all experts in their fields and had instilled an appreciation for learning and the pursuit of knowledge.
The photo I have inserted here appeared in the Syracuse Herald Journal in 1976 four months after graduating from MRC and had transferred to begin my junior year in September at SUNY College at Buffalo.
It read, “Regina Graduate to be honored” September 1976. It described an anthology of college student poetry to be published with the bilingual poem “Poder” I had submitted for publication to the National College Student Poetry Press.
