40th Annual Academy Awards Night
The academic/extracurricular accomplishments of our students as well as the professional and volunteer efforts of our Mount community were lauded and recognized on the evening of Monday, May 20, in Immaculate Conception Chapel during our annual Academy Awards Night.
Sister Lisa D. Gambacorto, RSM, Ed.S., Directress, said, "We celebrate our honorees, most especially our students, who have earned their seat tonight. They have demonstrated the tenacity and dedication that will be needed for continued growth in the face of all the ongoing challenges we see in the world today. Use your gifts to set our world on fire with optimistic faith and become transformative leaders wherever your passions lead you. Take what you need from life and give all you can - be women of hope!"
