We've got more great stories of #MMCLove in allllll its forms, including these: 📸 1: APIDA President Isaac Smith and VP Serena Lo didn't know each other before joining the org, but they've gotten to be besties along the way, and their close friendship has helped set the tone for the group. 📸 2-3: Ashley Coppolino ’16 and Katie Kausch ’16 were assigned each other as roommates but chose to be friends, going to class, museums, and concerts together. "Almost 10 years after meeting, she was my maid of honor at my wedding," Ashley says. "MMC didn't know it, but they gave me my best friend for life!" 📸 4: PJ Adzima ’15 met his wife Julia Knitel at MMC, and they've been married now for five years.

This #Valentines, we're celebrating #MMCLove in all its forms! 📸 1: Anna Belden ’26 and Hailey Meyer ’24 became fast friends after meeting at SDA’s Leadership Immersion Weekend and being cast in Play On’s production of Dry Land together.

VP for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty Peter Naccarato and AVP for Strategic Initiatives Katie LeBesco met in 1999 after sitting next to each other at a Humanities Division meeting. "I never imagined that 23 years later, I would be reflecting on one of the most important professional relationships and friendships in my life," he said. "The tuna fish sandwich she was eating that day was the beginning of a beautiful journey that has included teaching, presenting, and publishing in food studies and sharing many amazing meals together. How lucky am I to have found one of my best friends at MMC?" More stories to come! 💙

We’re celebrating all the ‘tines today—and highlighting the special relationships you’ve made at MMC.

#Lablife! 🔬Chemistry Professor Alessandra Leri takes snapshots of students each spring during the first distillation experiment. So, what are they up to here? After combining sugar with yeast and nutrients, they distilled the resulting product to try to achieve greater than 90% ethanol (180 proof). #GoGriffins #NYCCollege #NYC #UES #collegesearch #organiclab #distillation #premed #organicchem #biomajor #postbac @mmcbiology
