Thank you so much to our newly inaugurated president, Dr. Kerry Walk, for being our Campus Celebrity this week! We are so excited to have you as part of the Marymount Community!
Name: Kerry Walk
What do you love about MMC? Are you kidding?! The students! I especially love seeing students in “stair world.” There’s a very cool subculture in the stairways of the campus. Join us!
Best memory at MMC: I have great memories of MMC every day I’m here, but one recent memory stands out. As I was leaving my office one evening last week, I happened upon a group of students rehearsing America the Beautiful in the RPR for the inauguration ceremony. It’s a very meaningful song to me, for a very meaningful event, and hearing them sing so beautifully was quite moving.
Advice for Students: Make lists! Turns out that list-making is a habit of highly successful people. I recommend it.
