It was the opportunity of a lifetime. Maddy Locastro ’21 spent much of her summer in a lab at New York University’s Grossman School of Medicine, assisting with a study whose aim is to develop primary care strategies for children from low-income families. Locastro’s experience was made possible in large part due to the generosity of another Dolphin, the late William Gottstein ’51, who established a fund to help make it possible for students to avail themselves of internship experiences.

Diane Colucci '70 is a member of the College's President's Club. Her generosity enables Le Moyne to provide financial assistance to outstanding, deserving students who otherwise might not be able to afford a Le Moyne education; to hire dedicated, engaged faculty who can speak not just to their students’ classroom contributions, but to their dreams; and to offer an enriching campus life that nurtures students’ personal, intellectual and social development.

They are ready. They are prepared. They are serious. They are graduates of Upward Bound, a program housed on the Le Moyne campus that prepares students local high school students for success in college and well beyond.

As a teacher on the Heights, Gordon Boudreau, Ph.D., taught his students that writing is central to social, cultural and political life - that if they could learn to think and write, they could do anything. This fall the College announced the establishment of a fund in Boudreau's name that will enrich his legacy by supporting monetary prizes for outstanding writing by first-year students and financial awards to aid faculty members in pursuit of scholarly work.

Rosangel Garcia graduated in 2019, majoring in Information Systems & Software Application and System Development.

Ethan Sellevold graduates in May of 2020 with a major in Information Systems, this is after having been on the Heights for only three years.

Sometimes Dolphins swim in different directions, but they always find their way back to one another. The members of the Class of 1969 certainly know this to be true. They recently came back to Le Moyne to commemorate the 50th anniversary of their graduation from the Heights, to celebrate the accomplishments of the Class of 2019, and to give back to a place that means so much to them.
