Commencement 2017 Clad in white and carrying bouquets of red roses, the fifty-five members of the Class of 2017 celebrated Commencement at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola on Tuesday, June 13. The graduates paid tribute to the unique camaraderie and unity they had developed over the last four years and looked to the future with hope and possibility. As Salutatorian Lisette Fischer remarked, “Marymount has taught us to always work our hardest; it has taught us to fight for our beliefs with conviction; and it has taught us that, despite adversity, we will always have this community and our sisterhood to support us and love us.” This sentiment was echoed by Valedictorian Alida Monaco, who thanked her classmates “for taking a school and making it a home.” She encouraged her fellow graduates to “go out into the world: lead, inspire, dream, create, make mistakes, take risks, be daring. Give the world the privilege to know your talents, to experience the well-rounded, intelligent, poised, and fabulous personalities of each and every one of you.” Journalist Kate O’Brian enjoyed getting to know the Class of 2017 – the selfproclaimed “class of winners.” In her Commencement address, she acknowledged that they recognized the true weight of the word: “To be a winner is to be fair, accepting, understanding, and to uphold a responsibility to yourself and your community. They know that real winning is taking joy in your friends’ successes and supporting them in their challenges.” Ms. O’Brian implored the graduates to stay true to themselves and “to be strong in your skin…. Even if you are surrounded by individuals or groups who want you to turn into something else, resist. Even if you feel pressure to be someone you are not, resist. You know who you are.” We are confident that the members of the Class of 2017 will shine brightly on their college campuses and beyond! 16
“Marymount has taught you so many things: these will be the cement, the foundation, for a successful life. By successful, I mean not money or fame, but the lessons that help you recognize the importance of what already burns brightly inside of you.” – 2017 COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER, KATE O’BRIAN 17
