Meet Our Graduates
I feel incredibly fortunate to have been a part of the O'Connell community over these past four years. The support that the faculty, administration, and my classmates has given me has had a truly significant impact on my life. I know that O'Connell has prepared me for all of the exciting opportunities that lie ahead and I will always be proud to call myself a Knight.
