Nearly 200 friends raised $18,804 during the first annual Cheryl WalkorRun 5K. The race was established in memory of Cheryl Walker MS, RN, ACNS-BC, CWCN, a devoted nurse for almost forty years when she was sadly taken from cancer in January 2016. All proceeds went to support the Cheryl Walker’s Nursing Scholarship, created to pay it forward to the profession she loved so much.

Athletics Hall of Fame October 2021
The 2020 Hall of Fame inductees represented incredible athletic talent and dedication, including Derrick R. Brown ’91, the Mount’s first professional baseball player who was also a 1,000-point scorer on the basketball court. Scott Colello ‘14 became the first track and field athlete to enter the Hall with 31 school records. Mike Fisher ’00 helped the baseball program to a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances, and ranked among the national batting average leaders. Stephanie Karcher ’15 also shined on the diamond, setting records for career and single season home runs, and two NCAA single game records. Brandon Mincher ’14 was the ultimate team player, helping men’s soccer to its first Skyline Championship and NCAA appearance with 23 career assists. To complete this amazing class was Lorraine Santacroce, who passed away in September of 2020. She was the Athletic Director during the dawn of the college, taught numerous physical education classes and coached the cheer and women’s basketball teams, winning the college’s first tournament in 1969.

Annual Gala December 2020
Due to COVID-19, MSMC's Annual Gala was a virtual event. Typically, the Gala honors business and community leaders, however, the Advancement Committee voted to recognize MSMC students, faculty and staff for their determination in returning to in-person learning for the fall 2020 semester. With face coverings and social distancing protocols in place, the first day of classes marked the first time students took classes on campus since March 2020, when COVID-19 forced the transition to online learning. It was a long journey from those first days of online instruction to living, working, and learning on campus again. But it was also through these hardships that our community grew, adapted, and became stronger. David Melby, Senior Vice President of Rose & Kiernan, Inc., an NFP Company, our Presenting Sponsor, introduced keynote speakers, Andy and Rachel Berliner, the cofounders of Amy's Kitchen. Like MSMC, Andy and Rachel are committed to supporting the communities and people they serve and nourish. We look forward to welcoming Amy's Kitchen to the Hudson Valley family!
