A Full-Circle Moment

My educational journey began at Morton College in 2014 when I earned my Associate of Arts degree. What started as a dream became a pathway to greater opportunities, personal growth, and a lifelong commitment to learning.

Since graduating from Morton College, I have gone on to earn my Bachelor's degree and now, with gratitude and humility, my Master of Education in Higher Education and Student Affairs from National Louis University.

As a first-generation college graduate, this accomplishment represents perseverance, faith, and the support of a community that believed in me. Morton College provided the foundation that helped me build the confidence to continue pursuing my goals and serving students in higher education.

Thank you, Morton College, for being part of my story. I am proud to be an alumna and even more honored to continue serving the students of this amazing institution.

"The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you." B.B. King

Came across this photo of MC baseball team in Florida in 1989. Brings back wonderful memories of former Berwyn resident Buzz Capra, who was coaching in Phillies’ minor-league system. Buzz died May 11th at the age of 78. In this photo, Buzz is with Panther assistant coach Bob Considine, MC gym namesake Henry Vais and head coach Wally Reynolds.

Buzz, who lived on Riverside Drive in Berwyn, played in the majors with the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves from 1971 to '77. He was the National League ERA champ in 1974 and got the save in the game when Hank Aaron hit his 715th home run to pass Babe Ruth on April 8th, 1974.

In addition to playing with Aaron, Buzz also was teammates with Willie Mays and 300-game winners Tom Seaver, Nolan Ryan and Phil Niekro.

Buzz loved the game of baseball and treated being in the major leagues as a privilege. Great storyteller and an even greater person.
