Smith ’80 Teresa Sweeney ’81 For Mary Jill Hanson ’67, Manhattanville College left her with more than cherished memories; it instilled an Christopher E. Ruggiero ’01 Company of NY Marcella Doherty Smith ’45 Elizabeth M. Sweeny ’18 Elizabeth M. Ruggiero ’18 Security Services of Connecticut, Inc. Miranda Smith ’19 Joan Brennan Sweeny ’51 ethos of giving and learning that has informed her at every stage of her life. Much of the credit, Hanson said, Frank Rukaj Gil Seda ’19 Raymond Smith Michael and Deena Swidler goes to the Religious of the Sacred Heart who created a nurturing environment and encouraged intellectual Charles Rusch ’17 Alexandra G. Sedlacik ’18 Kendra L. Snow ’04 Patricia Swietek ’19 curiosity as they shepherded her class through their undergraduate years. “They were truly amazing. I think James Russell Janet and Andre Segatti Law Office of Mark R. Soboslai Amy and Drew Swiss Sasha Davila Russell ’05 Patricia A. Segerson ’74 Soccer Fields NY, LLC Harriet K.

This type of legacy gift can take many forms, but for Hanson, Catherine Klaschka Ryen ’88 Denise DeLeon Seymour ’77 Saint Louis, MO T&K Asphalt Services, Inc. a charitable gift annuity (CGA) made the most sense. Through the CGA, Hanson makes a gift to the College, receives a tax Angel Saa ’19 Matthew A. Sgritta MA ’01 Joseph Sofio ’89 Maggie Tadros Sage Scholarship Alice Doherty Shaber ’63 Theresa D’Aiuto Sokol ’72 Martha Bergeron Talburt ’59 deduction for a portion of the gift, and receives regular payments for the rest of her life. The remainder of the fund then goes to Catherine and Rick Sahakian Karen Flynn Shanahan ’67 Shyla Solangi ’19 Phil P. Talec ’91 Manhattanville. “Every day that I live, I am so much more grateful to Manhattanville for the education that they provided me and Monica Saint Onge ’72 Benjamin Shapiro ’07* Linda J. Soldo ’72* Marie Amberg Tallmadge ’54* for lifelong friends,” said Hanson. It’s a sentiment she heard many of her classmates share during their 50th reunion. “When we Leslie Salcedo ’19 Danielle Silves ’98 Bethany D’Angelo Solury ’94 Britney J. Tamassia ’13 Reuben Salcedo ’17 Joanne Pickett Shapoff ’70, MAT ’73 Sergiy Sorokolat ’11 Jean Freeman Tammaro ’66 all looked back, there were these common themes in our paths after we left Manhattanville,” she said. “And we realized that so Deborah Saleeby-Mulligan Elaine McHugh Sharer ’52 Peter G. Sotos ’88 Mark Tamucci MAT ’10 much of what we got here really guided our lives.” Now Hanson hopes that, just like the Sisters who helped open the world for her, Loraine Salerno MA ’93 Joyce Toomey Sharkey ’69 Sarah Thompson Southgate ’78 Tian Tang ’16, MS ’17 she might help future generations of Valiants discover new possibilities.

Anonymous (4) Christine Dehne David Lugowski Monique S. Reilly MPS ’00, EdD ’13* Vance L. Austin Andrew Ecker EdD ’16 Maria Jose Lujan Peter Rivera Robert Gilmore Julian Baez ’18 Sheila McConville Fane ’67, MA ’16 Kristie Lynch Jeff H. Rosedale Ellis I. Barowsky Louise Feroe* Joanne Marien Kennon Rothchild Five years ago, Director of Financial Aid and Veterans Affairs Robert Gilmore opted for a new way to give back Norma Bass JoAnne Ferrara Arlen Marshall ’10, MS ’12 James Russell to Manhattanville: he would designate a percentage of every paycheck to the college. It was a choice, he said, Ruth E. Bauer ’05, MAT ’06 Elizabeth Baldini Fiore ’09 Sherie McClam Deborah Saleeby-Mulligan that was less an act of charity than an act of duty. Simply put, Gilmore felt it was the right thing to do. Jeffrey Bens Ara Fitzgerald Loren McDermott Anthony Santucci Lenora Boehlert Delwing Gaines He noted that he absorbed this sense of obligation during his years in the United States Army, specifically Wendy J. McFarlane Christina Sappington ’19 David R. Borker Joseph Gaines ’12, MAT ’13 Binita Mehta Eric Schaffer while he was a trooper in the 1st Cavalry Division. “When you get indoctrinated in that, it gives you a sense of Melissa Brinley Boston ’00 Michelle Pings-Gaines ’12 Kenneth Mitchell Polly C. Schmitz* purpose,” said Gilmore. “You have a bigger sense of history and your responsibility.” Lawson H. Bowling* Darlene D’Alliessi Gandolfi ’98 Robert Monson George Schreer Jim Bryan* Renee Gargano Colin J. Morris Edward Schwartz It’s a noble idea, but one that also has an immediate impact on people’s lives. After 21 years in Manhattanville’s finan- Peter Burns* Michael E. Geisler Tracy Muirhead* John Shekitka Stephen Caldas cial aid office, Gilmore has witnessed over and over the positive effect that contributions have on students, families, and Robert D. Gilmore ’02 Will Muirhead* Adalene Shore Stephanie M. Carcano MS ’13 Randall J. Hannum MA ’91 Laura Newman Gregory Swedberg the larger Manhattanville community. He recalled one instance early in his career when a student came into his office, dumped a Meghan Casey Van Hartmann Edwin Pacicca Nancy Todd file folder onto his desk, and announced, “I’m paid!” before walking out. Looking through the file, Gilmore found page after page Jeff Caulfield James Hasenfus John Pagli* Wil Tyrrell of individual financial donations that the student had gathered. “There were $50, $200, $500 amounts…and it ended up totaling Julene Fisher Caulfield MAT ’11 Julie R. Pfeifer Hudson ’13, MAT ’14 Christopher J. Pappas Yiping Wan $17,000,” he said. The lesson from that encounter sticks with him to this day: no matter what the amount, every donation counts. Megan Cifarelli Susan Iverson Matthew Pauley Teresa S. Weber MS ’12 Rhonda L. Clements Jimmy E. Jones Erik Paulson Shelley B. Wepner Carmelo P. Comberiati Theresa Kelleher ’71 William C. Perkins Irene Whelan Once people start thinking of themselves as part of a group with a shared goal, the choice to contribute becomes a no-brainer, Melissa De Laurentis ’18 Jerry D. Kerlin Bruno Ponterio Ellen Wilder M.F.A. ’15 said Gilmore. “It strikes me that if I give a percentage every month—if everyone gives a percentage, everyone gives a little bit— Donald Dean Geoffrey Kidde Cindy Long Porter* Lauren E. Ziarko M.A. ’13 it’ll get us there,” he said. As a military man, Gilmore may naturally tap into that esprit des corps, but he hopes that anyone who Anthony DeGregorio MA ’98 Paul Kucharski Lisa Rafanelli believes in the mission of Manhattanville, as he does, will consider following his lead.
