Spring 2022 Commencement Recap

Landmark College welcomed 79 graduates into the Alumni Association during a Commencement ceremony held Saturday, May 14 2022 in the Click Family Sports Center. Among them was Chase O'Brien (right), the first student to earn a Bachelor of Science in Life Science from LC.

Two members of the 2020 graduating class Daniel Shin and Indigo Pagan (pictured right) also walked the stage and made remarks, fulfilling the promise made by Landmark College President Peter Eden that any graduate whose ceremony was pre-empted by COVID-19 was welcome to participate in a future ceremony.    

The ceremony included recognition of several Landmark College faculty and staff members who are retiring. Board of Trustees Chair Barbara Epifanio read their names from the stage, culminating with founding faculty member Dan Toomey (pictured right), who received a standing ovation when she announced he has been appointed Professor Emeritus.
