To this day, her closest friends are former classmates and others from the MMC community.</p> <p> And as an executive at a Fortune 50 company, Fiorella finds a way to carve out time to oversee the College. A member of the Board of Trustees since 2015, she was recently <a href="https://www.mmm.edu/live/news/4475-mmcs-board-of-trustees-elects-six-new-members-new">elected Chair</a> of the Board, the College’s highest office.</p> <p> So when she tells new graduates, as she did at commencement in May, “wherever your life’s journey takes you, always remember that Marymount Manhattan College is your home forever,” it’s not just advice but also the motto she’s lived by.</p> </div> </div> </div>
