On Wednesday, March 7, Marymount Manhattan College will celebrate Charter Day and recognize 370 years of combined service by faculty and staff.

Marymount Manhattan College was founded in 1936 by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary as a two-year women’s college and a New York City extension of Marymount College n Tarrytown, New York. In 1948, the College moved to its present location on 71st Street and became a four-year bachelor degree-granting college; the first class graduated from MMC in 1950. In 1961, Marymount Manhattan was granted an absolute charter as an independent four-year college by the Regents of the University of the State of New York. Since then, Marymount Manhattan’s mission as an urban, independent, coeducational nonsectarian liberal arts college has expanded to include a diverse student body, including men, nontraditional students, and students from a variety of ethnic and geographic backgrounds.
Charter Day recognizes the College’s anniversary of receiving its independent charter. Charter Day is also an opportunity for the College to recognize the landmark intervals of service of its faculty and staff. This year’s honorees include Linda Solomon (35 years), Richard Tietze (35 years), Robert Hawkins (30 years), Phil Myers (30 years), Stella Cortes (25 years), David Linton (25 years), Pat Simon (20 years), Diana Nash (20 years), Barbara Adrian (15 years), Oscar Rosario (15 years), Rebecca Sperling (15 years), Steven Wat (15 years), Misty Beasley (10 years), Pat Hansen (10 years), Manal Meseha (10 years), Kevin Ng (10 years), Ellen Orenstein (10 years), Wayne Santucci (10 years), James Shan (10 years), Judson Shaver (10 years) and Andrew Warshaw (10 years).
