Manor College marked its 75th Commencement on May 14 with 106 graduates receiving bachelor’s and associate degrees in an outdoor ceremony in front of Mother of Perpetual Help Hall. Among them: a group of student-athletes who spent their time at Manor competing on the field, court, and track — and finishing the job in the classroom.
Tom Gangi, Head Women’s Soccer Coach, Assistant Men’s Soccer Coach, and Facilities Manager, received the 2026 Board of Trustees Staff Award at the ceremony.
