Phil Hagerty (BS ’14) and Stephanie Riner (BS ’14) met in 2010 in their first chemical engineering class. The couple graduated in 2014 and did long distance while Phil got his ChemE Masters in Dayton, Ohio while Stephanie stayed in Philly.

Phil and Stephanie married in 2017 and now share two children and two dogs. “We love climbing, biking, skiing and camping. When we are not outside, catch us making drafts for Survivor and bragging about who got the winner right.”

Amanda Gass (BSN '11, MSN '19) met Jake Madeira (BSN '11, MSN '22) while they were both studying nursing at Drexel in 2007.

"Our nursing careers started here in Philadelphia, but have taken us all over the country as travel nurses. We came back to Philly for graduate school (both at Drexel!) and to start a family, we now have two beautiful children."

Today, Jake is a nurse anesthetist at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and Amanda is a pediatric nurse practitioner at CHOP.

A twist of fate (and a little bio-chemistry) brought Raymond Mazzola, Jr. and Roseann Caristo together in Disque! They were in the same degree program, but on different cycles, but in the spring of her junior year Roseann was taking a class off-cycle during a Drexel co-op when she caught Raymond's eye in a bio-chemistry lab.

They were both commuters and would meet most mornings before class outside of Disque 808 at "the bench" during their senior year.

They both graduated in 1975, each with a BS in Biology and were married in September 1976. Raymond then continued his education at Drexel for his MS in Biomedical Engineering.

At home, they raised two daughters (one of which is also a !) and this year, they are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary! Today, they have an active life with lots of travel, but mostly enjoy spending time with their family, especially their 4 grandsons!
