Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh, N.Y. recognized nearly 400 Class of 2026 graduates on Friday, May 15 and Saturday, May 16.
The Mount awarded more than 100 master’s degrees and about 280 bachelor’s degrees across the two ceremonies. The graduating students hailed from 10 states: Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia.
The Graduate students heard from Commencement speaker Maxine E. Lindsay-Shillingford ’98 MSN ’23, Chief Nurse Manager within the Department of Veterans Affairs.
“This moment represents far more than the completion of a degree,” she said. “It reflects years of sacrifice, resilience, and unwavering belief in the power of humanity, discovery, and your ability to shape, strengthen, and transform our global community. This milestone is a testament to your hard work. You made it here not because of a sprint, but because of a marathon you refused to give up.”
The Undergraduate students heard from Commencement speaker Donna M. Carroll, Ed.D., President of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities (ACCU).
“As you walk across this stage today and begin the next stage of your life, reach for opportunity,” she said. “Yes, you deserve it. But also… stay curious, welcome the unexpected, see hurdles as opportunities for personal growth, and recognize that the path to your true calling is rarely without difficulty and is sometimes a matter of ‘crazy, holy grace.’”
