The entire Marymount Manhattan College community mourns the passing of Eilene Keller Bertsch ’59, the longest-serving Chief Academic Officer in the College’s history. She will be remembered for her vision of making MMC more accessible and affordable, her kindness and compassion, and her love of all things Marymount Manhattan since the moment she arrived as a first-year student—65 years ago, in 1955.

After a virtual hiatus due to COVID-19, a new exhibition graces the walls of the Hewitt. Changing Lanes: Painters Explore Dimension in Clay will run in the Hewitt Gallery of Art from October 19–December 2, 2020.
