Hi, everyone!! My name is Alexandra (Lexi) Messo. I am graduating next week with a double major in Marketing and Public Relations & Strategic Communication…and got to dabble in science classes along the way. A few of my obsessions: finding cute coffee places in NYC, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Mamma Mia, fashion, traveling, and laughing—A LOT. It is WILD that my time at MMC is coming to an end. I am so grateful for all the memories and opportunities these four years gave me…not to mention getting so close with some of my favorite professors. Check out my personal IG @leximesso_ and let's connect!! Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. See you around ! 🙂 #MMC #GoGriffins #MarymountManhattan

Hey there! I’m Kayleigh Bowen (she/her/hers), and I am a senior double major receiving my BFA in dance with a concentration in choreography and my BA in psychology with a minor in communications. Throughout my time at Marymount I have gotten the chance to learn from some incredible practitioners in the fields of dance and psychology who have redefined the way I move and articulate about the field of dance. I am so grateful for the incredible mentors I have met throughout my time at Marymount and for the friends I have found along the way. My experience at Marymount Manhattan College will not only help me in my professional career as a performer but will serve me in all aspects of my future beyond Marymount.

❗MMC Alum Part of Historic Amazon Labor Union Win❗ Amazon workers at the Staten Island warehouse known as JFK8 voted to form the company’s first union on Friday, April 1, 2022. Among the organizers was MMC grad Justine Medina ’12. Medina was recruited as a “salt,” meaning she applied for a job at Amazon specifically to aid the unionization effort. Once Medina began working at JFK8, she was able to build a coalition with the other workers and combat Amazon’s union-busting efforts. For every “Vote NO” sign on the walls and mandated anti-union meeting, Medina and her fellow organizers had a conversation with the people around them. They built bonfires outside for workers who had to wait for their bus in the cold, brought home-cooked meals to workers who had just gotten off twelve-hour shifts, and raised money for a recently-fired employee who had become homeless. Over time, the message became clear: workers help workers. A vote for the union is a vote for solidarity. #LINKINBIO to read more! #amazon #amazonlaborunion #victory (Photo source: Eduardo Munoz Avarez/Associated Press)

Hi, everyone! My name is Averee Nelson (@avereemnelson) and I’m a senior here at MMC. I can’t believe that the time has come that I am now counting down the days until graduation. It has been an amazing journey! I have learned so many things about myself throughout my undergrad years, and I feel prepared for my next steps. I have been able to use both of my majors, Digital Journalism and Politics & Human Rights, in the clubs I participate in. As Digital Managing Editor of The Monitor and President of Her Campus MMM, I have loved writing articles about politics and events happening in the PHR department. It has been amazing to learn more about my own interests through these departments! Check out my IG feed this week to find out more about me and why I ❤️ MMC. #GoGriffins #GriffinPride #MarymountManhattan #MMC
