Last Friday, the College celebrated the achievements of the 150+ Paralegal Certificate earners in 2025 - 2026!

During the evening, we also recognize outstanding achievements through two special awards. Each year the faculty nominate students who have demonstrated perseverance through leadership and personal growth, alongside academic excellence. This year's Distinguished Student Award recipients were:

William Ard - Fall Day Cohort
Michelle Lombardi - Fall Evening Cohort
Brie Katzianer - Spring Day Cohort
Rene Minnocci - Spring Evening Cohort

Paralegal students learn from an outstanding roster of faculty who, like their students, balance a robust professional life alongside the demands of the classroom. This group of dedicated instructors are an incredible support to both the students and the College, so each year we ask the students to help us recognize two of them with the Outstanding Faculty Award.

This year's recipients were: Kathryn Meloni and Scott Cronin!
