Andrews, a Rome, NY native and graduate of Notre Dame Junior-Senior High School, will pursue a master’s degree in special education at Utica. Jordan, a native of Candor, NY, who was homeschooled, will work toward her master’s degree in occupational therapy at Utica.
Two bachelor’s degrees will be awarded posthumously; one to Alyssa Cheyenne Parrino, psychology-child life, and one to John Paul Ramel, construction management.
