The Mount Holds 41st Annual Academy Awards Night
The academic/extracurricular accomplishments of our students as well as the professional and volunteer efforts of our Mount community were lauded and recognized on the evening of Monday, May 19, in the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception during our annual Academy Awards Night.
Sister Lisa D. Gambacorto, RSM, Ed.S., Directress, said, "We extend our heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to all of the award recipients. We reflect on the values we stand for as a community. The collective belief in the power of education, the importance of hard work, and the impact that it has on the entire community. Continue to use your gifts to set our world on fire with optimistic faith and become transformative leaders wherever your passions lead you. Take what you need from life and give all you can...be women of hope!"
