We are hosting a Reunion Weekend in September at the end of our 96th Birthday week and can鈥檛 wait to see you there.
鈥淥ne of the most important things to me is the ability to “think on my own” and not rely on others’ opinions.鈥 This was especially crucial as a critical care nurse, then in the pharmaceutical industry, wherein I needed to think and reason quickly to solve complex problems. As a Carlow alumna, I am so very proud of the legacy and heritage of Carlow, it’s impact on young women and men and its ability to flex with the times and remain pertinent. Carlow, and its alumni, pride themselves on the education provided to its students.鈥 Our heritage based on the Mercy nuns, reverberates throughout the campus, as well as within its alumni.鈥 I am so very proud to be a Carlow alumnus!鈥 — Sandi Bihary-Waltz, DBA Class of 1980

鈥淚t was a great three and a half years at 麻豆精品. Looking back, I remember how challenging it was to pay for my tuition, especially since I was working two jobs while attending school full-time. It wasn鈥檛 easy鈥攅very semester, I鈥檇 find myself at the accounting office, asking for a payment agreement so I could register for classes. I became a familiar face there because of that routine. Despite the struggles, I made it through. My favorite professor was Dr. Peters Ken鈥攈e truly left a lasting impact on me. And when it came to studying, nothing beat the quiet comfort of my favorite spot: AJ Palumbo, second floor, last door on the right. i graduated in 2020 in Mathematics, Minors in Economics.鈥 鈥 Elie 鈥2020鈥
