Maryellen Conway, the President of the Student Body, is among those who will be heading directly for grad school after graduating.
"I will be finishing up a five-year program here at Marist," she said. "I will be getting my BA in psychology and MA in educational psychology by December 2007. In January 2007, I will hopefully be starting the advanced certificate program for school psychology here. Later on, I would love to go to Columbia University or Fordham University to get a PhD in school administration."
Lives of the senior students who will graduate in May will take many different paths afterwards but nearly all agree that the one four-year experience that brought all of their lives together was a memorable one. Perugini holds his time at Marist in high regard.
"Marist has been the best experience of my life," he said. "It has opened my eyes to what is truly beautiful in life. I will miss hanging out with the guys and my fraternity brothers until the early morning. I will miss sleeping in late and starting my day at two in the afternoon. I will miss the philosophical and social talks with my friends about life, the future, and of course, the mystery of understanding the opposite sex. Most importantly, I will miss the freedom, the freedom of helping out people at all hours of the day and the freedom of my young adulthood. It is going to be hard knowing that I will be leaving my utopia and temporarily departing from the people I love. Marist will always be home, and I will absolutely miss the people who have helped me find myself."
