MMC trustee and BFA Acting alumnus Edward Van Saders ’95 and President Kerry Walk share a moment after Edward’s star turn in “A Grand Night for Singing.” In addition to proving his acting chops, Edward is the CFO of an international professional service firm that exclusively serves the nonprofit sector–and the father of triplets(!) with his husband, Paul. Talk about versatility!

Everyone in the MMC community has their own way of spending the Thursday of Fall Break. As a whole, the five days of the break give us a chance to relax and recharge—whether by spending time with family and friends or perhaps by finding a quiet moment alone. When we return next week, the Intercultural Center will be hosting Indigenous/Latino lecturer, storyteller, and poet Bobby Gonzalez for a keynote presentation titled “The Tapestry of American History Through Native Eyes.” Join us on November 30 at 4pm in the IC. Link in bio to register. Thank you for helping each other stay healthy and safe this semester, and for filling the College’s spaces with the invigorating sights and sounds of MMC in action.

Dr. Rao is teaching three courses this semester: an NYC Seminar, which gives first-year students an up-close-and-personal look at businesses in the city; and two sections of Strategic Management, the capstone course for Business majors. In addition to her teaching duties, Dr. Rao moderates two business-related student clubs: the Investment Club and the Marymount Business Association, which helps MMC students make connections in the NYC biz world and build their network. You can visit Dr. Rao and the Division of Business on the 5th floor of Carson Hall in Room 517.

Tickets go on sale TODAY, November 4 at 11 am! Click the link in our bio to get your tickets! Special Note: ALL audience members must show proof of vaccination prior to being granted access to any ticketed event at a theatre in NYC, per the Mayor’s most recent Emergency Order. MMC requires that all individuals in the audience wear an appropriate face covering that conforms to CDC COVID-19 guidelines for masks at all times during a performance, and while on campus. Neither a negative test, nor an antibody test, satisfy the NYC vaccination requirement for theatres. Non-MMC ID cardholders must complete a health survey prior to entry.
Stop #3 on our Division Chair spotlight tour! Meet Benedetta “Biba” Sampoli Benitez, Ph.D., the chair of MMC's Division of Sciences. In addition to her teaching chemistry, biochemistry, and nutrition, she and two MMC research assistants are currently working on a collaboration with Northeastern University to understand how protein can bypass DNA lesions. “I’m so excited for the fall semester! It feels so amazing — I just love to be back with my students. There is a different vibe. There is no Zoom that will match the pulse of a classroom." You can visit Dr. Sampoli and the Division of Sciences on the 6th floor of Carson Hall in room 614. Stay tuned next week to meet the next division, their faculty leader, and where to find them. Stay tuned!
The Homecoming action doesn’t stop! MMC’s Musical Theatre Association entertained a crowd with Fugitive Songs, a 19-song journey across America that spotlighted people on the run.

Talent? Oh yeah, MMC’s got tons of that! From dance to song to some fierce splits, our students brought it for the Homecoming talent show. Congrats to all the performers! You’re superstars! (@jess.massari, you’re killing it with these pics.)
