This special occasion is one of our favorite events each year because we get to reconnect with so many members of the extended DC family. The evening was extra exciting this year because it was held at Donnelly’s new Community Event Center. It’s always inspiring to hear how experiences at Donnelly have impacted the lives, careers and aspiration of alums. 2013 HONOREES Pat Antonopoulos ‘58 Marcia (Delich) Braun ‘63 Andres Dominguez ‘79 Fr.

The Benedictine Sisters could smile with understanding if a term paper was late, but the grade stood—no excuses. They were our mentors, our professors, and our inspiration.” Pat Antonopoulos, Educator/Author “Donnelly was the ‘bridge’ – to keep me going in my education. I am convinced that “bridge” was responsible for my becoming a teacher – a choice of which I am very proud and one that I have never regretted.” Marcia Braun, Educator “Donnelly serves as an educational anchor for students that often times may be ignored by systems. As an institution of higher learning, it’s a venue for students to thrive, to explore their place in society and initiate change in their communities.” Andres Dominguez, Nonprofit Leader “The light of Donnelly College shines brightly giving opportunities to ordinary people, making it possible for them to excel in extraordinary ways.” Fr. Peter Jaramillo “We had the most dedicated, caring and interesting faculty one could ever hope for. Donnelly had a profound impact on my life.” Larry Ward, Attorney |
