A few weeks ago Philadelphia Daily News columnist Ronnie Polaneczky Polaneczky wrote about Mareeda Perry, a La Salle employee who has overcome much in her 24 years to earn her BA from the University. Since then, Mareeda has received many letters and emails from people who say they found inspiration for themselves through her story; one person offered to help her navigate the world of grants and fellowships to finance her graduate studies; there were even some job offers!
This all started back in March when I sent a campus-wide email asking folks for interesting and unusual graduation stories. Joan Ulmer, who works with Mareeda in the Nonprofit Center, sent me some info and the rest took care of itself. This proves that you never know where a good story will come from.
