Mary P. Donahue served as the faculty greeter for Ive Day on Friday, May 8, warmly welcoming students and sharing thoughtful words of wisdom. She encouraged students to be mindful of their body, mind, and spirit, to always show kindness to one another, and to remember that “later” can too easily become too late. Thank you Mary and congratulations students! 👏🎓🥳
