Congratulations, Class of 2020! We are so incredibly proud of the work, dedication, and passion you have put into your studies while at MMC, and we can’t WAIT to see what is in store for you next. Please enjoy a message from our faculty, staff, and administration who wanted to wish you well as you start your next adventure. Despite the circumstances, we are all celebrating with YOU in spirit. Congratulations to the Class of 2020!

Students in Ethical Issues Concerning the Developing Child, taught by Nava Silton, Ph.D. , Associate Professor of Psychology, spend the semester exploring the moral, social, biological, and cognitive aspects of development in order to facilitate an understanding and analysis of ethical dilemmas. Last week, they had the exciting opportunity to hear from two expert guest speakers during their class discussions on Zoom.

As the end of the Spring 2020 semester rapidly approaches, our students have been busy with a wide variety of final presentations, projects, and productions, which have kept the College’s virtual campus abuzz. Across each academic department, the end of the semester highlights the very best in student achievement at MMC.

Marymount Manhattan College has launched MMC Engage , the College’s first inclusive community engagement platform and mobile app. With MMC Engage, all members of the community can access helpful College resources, learn about programming and virtual events, chat with other members of the community, and more, all with the touch of a button.

Members of the Marymount Manhattan College family are dedicating time and resources to their own communities in the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Read some of their stories below.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, prisons remain closed to visitors, and although MMC’s Bedford Hills College Program (BHCP) at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility and Taconic College Program (TCP) at Taconic Correctional Facility have managed to maintain modified academic operations despite severe restrictions on prison access, students enrolled in these programs no longer have face-to-face contact with their instructors.

Giroux, a Business major with a concentration in Social Entrepreneurship, is one of only fifteen fellows chosen for the competitive New York City program, alongside peers from Baruch College, Pace University, The City College of New York, and more.

Sue Behrens, Ph.D., Professor and Chair of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD), and her student research team will present their research virtually at the 9th Annual Westchester Undergraduate Conference.

Students, faculty, and administrators of Marymount Manhattan College’s Bedford Hills College Program (BHCP) and Taconic College Program (TCP) have worked to maintain academic operations, despite the recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus in New York State and the resulting limitations on outside visitors to the correctional facilities.

As the world grapples with COVID-19, institutions of learning across the country have had to develop, institute, and adapt to methods of remote and virtual instruction. Marymount Manhattan College is no exception, and faculty—from Theatre to Biology and everything in between—have worked tirelessly to provide a new normal for Griffins through the end of the semester.
