Bay Path University

34 Bay Pathway Spring/Summer 2020 L E T T E R F R O M T H E A L U M N I A S S O C I A T I O N C O U N C I L P R E S I D E N T Dear Bay Path Alumni: I am excited and humbled to serve as your next president of the Alumni Association Council effective July 1, 2020. I owe a debt of gratitude to Lynn Pellerano, who has led the council with vision, dedication, and Bay Path boldness! I have big shoes to fill and am honored to receive the torch from Lynn to carry on the alumni legacy. As is true with so many of us, Bay Path has played such an integral role in shaping our lives. From stepping out of our comfort zones and trying out for sports teams to taking a leadership position, dancing the electric slide on Campus Day, or traveling the world for the first time, Bay Path has been there for us. I remember the excitement of my first day of class, the first Capitals of the World trip that I went on, and volunteering at the Women's Leadership Conference. Bay Path's education for me reached far beyond my classroom walls. As alumni, we want to support the next generation of students so their educational experience reaches far beyond their classroom walls and allows them to realize their dreams! This summer, we will welcome President Sandy Doran to our campus. We will show her the diverse richness that is the Bay Path community. We will teach her our beloved traditions and, with her, make new ones. It's an exciting time for all of us. Let us stay close to our community and each other and continue to make Bay Path an amazing place. Lastly, for the past 25 years, Dr. Leary has left her mark on the Bay Path campus and on the lives of all of us. To say she will be greatly missed is an understatement. In the true spirit of the legacy Dr. Leary leaves on campus, we will continue to perform random acts of kindness and use our time, talent, and treasure to better the Bay Path community and the world at large. Whether you are an alumni from the residential campus, the One Day or The American Women's College programs, or one of our many graduate programs, I hope you will join me in supporting the next generation of students so their educational experience will allow them to reach for the stars! Carpe Diem.
