Get Involved



Volunteer

The Marymount Alumnae Association Board is made entirely of Marymount College graduates, from all different classes. The board plans and organizes, in coordination with Fordham, the many Marymount events held throughout the year, as well as maintaining alumnae connects through newsletters, social media, and of course, in-person events. Those interested can either volunteer as a full board member, or if not able to make as large a time commitment, join a committee. Please fill out the board interest form here and a member of the nominating committee will be in touch with you. If you have any questions, please contact Paula Mahayosnand at mahastein2@yahoo.com.

Events

The Marymount spirit continues to be celebrated at events such as Founders Day in December, celebrating the day Mother Butler arrived in Tarrytown, New York to start Marymount, and Jubilee, a time when all classes are invited to reunite at both Rose Hill and Tarrytown. Details of events are located on the Events page.

Awards

Each year at Jubilee, three awards are presented to deserving Marymount alumnae, including:

  • Alumnae of Achievement Award, which recognizes an alumna who has excelled in her professional or volunteer accomplishments and is a recognized leader in her fields of endeavor;
  • The Gloria Gaines Memorial Award, the highest alumnae honor, is given to an alumna for service to one’s church, community, and the College;
  • The Golden Dome Award, which is presented to an alumna whose efforts through continuous service and resultant achievement has advanced Marymount College as an institution.

If you’d like to nominate a Marymount alumna for an award please submit the following to the board:

  • Nominee’s name and year of graduation;
  • Award for which alumna is being nominated;
  • A detailed description of how the nominee meets the award criteria.

Support the Legacy Fund

The Marymount Alumnae Association established the Marymount Legacy Fund, an endowed scholarship at Fordham University, in recognition of the Centennial of Marymount College in 2007 and to honor the alumnae, faculty, staff, and R.S.H.M. of Marymount.

The Marymount Legacy Fund is designed to support young women who:

  • Embody the Marymount spirit through learning and leadership;
  • Have a family affiliation with any of the Marymount secondary schools or colleges; and
  • Demonstrate financial need and academic merit

The goal of the fund is to support as many talented and deserving young women as possible.

To date over $1,000,000 has been contributed by alumnae and friends. Marymount College had a profound effect on its graduates. Through support of the fund, Marymount alumnae carry on the mission of its founders in the R.S.H.M. by helping promising young women of today.
