Sixth Annual "25 Under 35" Honorees Recognized

We are pleased to announce the sixth annual "25 Under 35" award recipients.
This annual event recognizes 25 young alumnae under the age of 35 who have gone above and beyond in their personal and professional endeavors since graduation. They were chosen for their achievements, compassionate leadership and service in our global society. These distinguished young women already are making their marks in the world as educators, nurses, lawyers, politicians, engineers, advocates for those in need and a variety of other professions. As young professionals, they are living the mission and charism embodied by the Academy's founders and sponsors, the Sisters of the Congregation of St. Joseph.
While we will celebrate these honorees in October during Grand Reunion Weekend, we wanted to share who the recipients are and their professions. Congratulations, ladies!
