Commencement is marked by family, fanfare, and, often, a hard-fought journey to the finish line. But for most graduates, the journey is only beginning. Here’s a look at where a handful of Gulls are headed next.

It’s not just students that fly the Nest—it’s staff and faculty that retire and leave Endicott for exciting next chapters. Before their retirement at the end of the spring 2024 semester, we sat down with four faculty and staff members to reflect upon their careers at the College.

The alumni-run basketball competition, Z’s Threes, has raised over $25,000 for the Zach Markowitz ’14 Memorial Scholarship for students studying sport science.

After the death of their good friend Zach Markowitz ’14, Colin Sitarz ’12 M’13 and Adam Benoit ’12 founded Z’s Threes, a basketball competition to keep Markowitz’s memory and his love of basketball alive.

The Endicott community rallied in record numbers to make Giving Day 2024 a record-breaking event with $623,700 raised to shape the future of the College—and students making up 20% of this year's donors.

After graduation, a few lucky Gulls flocked further north to Vermont and found interesting, creative, and fulfilling careers at Burton Snowboards, where moving from snow-covered slopes to cozy office spaces is all in a day’s work.

Jessica Piazza D’21 and her daughter Ella, 8, became media sensations overnight when Ella was picked up by Jason Kelce at the Bills-Chiefs game on January 21 so Ella could say hi to her idol—Taylor Swift.

Rob Ackerman ’20 M’21 brings a passion for karate, STEM, and giving back to his classroom at Chenery Upper Elementary School in Belmont, Mass.—and now he’s been named a finalist in the 2023 Wasabi Fenway Bowl Honor Roll.

With a new season for the Boston Celtics underway, Steven O’Connor ’22 is once again taking his smooth moves to center court as a rookie captain and performer with the Celtics Dancers.

It couldn’t have been a more perfect Homecoming & Family Weekend at Endicott —perfect fall weather, football wins, alumni honors, delicious food, and so much more.
