<div> When alumna Helen Lowe graduated in 1955, MMC <a href="https://www.mmm.edu/about-us/history.php">was a different place</a>: It had only recently become a four-year college and moved into its East 71<sup>st</sup> Street home. Run by sisters from the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary (RSHM)—whom Helen remembers as demanding but progressive—it served female students, many of whom were encouraged to become teachers. </div>

<p> Five years ago, Roman “Rome” Leykin ’09 was headed to work as a web developer when his world changed in an instant: While waiting on a subway platform in Brooklyn, he suffered an epileptic seizure that sent him into the path of an oncoming train. Leykin, 36, lost both legs in the accident and suffered a traumatic brain injury, or TBI. However, in the years of recovery that followed, he not only resumed his life but found new purpose, emerging as a competitive para-athlete determined to inspire others.</p>
