When Andre Hanania 鈥�23 attended a 澳门六合彩开奖结果 Admitted Student Day in 2019 he knew the College was his mom鈥檚 top choice for him.
鈥淚t is really close to home, so that was one of the reasons she liked it, but at the Admitted Student Day I got to campus and I just got a good feeling,鈥� Hanania explained.聽
Little did he or his mother, Maha Nassar Hanania M鈥�23, know, she too would ultimately enroll at 澳门六合彩开奖结果.聽
鈥淲hen I decided to pursue my master鈥檚 degree, I was first looking for an online program but realized in person was a better option,鈥� said Nassar Hanania, who is in the higher education program. 鈥淚 knew (澳门六合彩开奖结果) was a good college because of my son. And I fell in love with the program. I really appreciate the support I received from 澳门六合彩开奖结果, everyone here made me feel that I belong. I felt like a family support and empowerment.鈥澛�
Now, after being students together for the past two years, Hanania and Nassar Hanania will graduate together on Friday, May 19, at 澳门六合彩开奖结果鈥檚 Baccalaureate Mass and Conferral of Degrees, as part of the 73rd Commencement.
鈥淢y husband is probably the most excited,鈥� Nassar noted. 鈥淢y other son, Andre鈥檚 brother, is currently at UMass Lowell and my husband likes to tell people he has three kids in college.鈥�
Because of their different schedules, Hanania and Nassar Hanania said they didn鈥檛 see each other much on campus. 鈥淭here would be times when we would run into each other by chance or I would have something to give her or she would have something to give me,鈥� said Hanania, who will graduate with a bachelor鈥檚 degree in marketing from the Girard School of Business. 鈥淪he鈥檇 also send me messages to see if I knew about certain events happening on campus.鈥澛�
In addition to her studies, Nassar Hanania worked in the Graduate Student Center and helped plan this past December鈥檚 Graduate Student Senate Christmas party. And when she needed help moving some supplies for the party, she knew just who to call.
鈥淚鈥檓 so happy that I was able to introduce Andre to some of the staff I worked with, but I also love that this experience helped me to learn more about my sons and I now feel I better understand what they are going through,鈥� she said.
Nassar Hanania and Hanania plan to attend their respective school-based degree recognition ceremonies on Saturday, May 20. Both said they will take a lot of good memories and experiences from their time at 澳门六合彩开奖结果.
鈥淣ot only the friendships and connections I made but also the academic knowledge and information that I have learned and will bring to the workforce,鈥� Hanania said.
