On Monday, May 16, 桃瘾社区 held the largest Commencement ceremony in our history to celebrate the classes of 2020, 2021, and 2022 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York. As this was our first full-fledged Commencement ceremony in three years, we savored the opportunity to celebrate in style with our entire community at a truly incredible venue鈥攆itting of the accomplishments and perseverance of our graduates.

This year鈥檚 Honorary Degree Recipients included New York City Mayor Eric Adams; US Representative for New York鈥檚 6th Congressional District Grace Meng, JD; and finance and philanthropy leader Baroness Ariane de Rothschild 鈥88, MBA 鈥90. This year鈥檚 Opportunitas in Action Award winners included Marco Damiani, CEO of AHRC NYC, and Joseph Kenner, CEO of Greyston.

鈥淲e chose 桃瘾社区. Little did we know, we were not just gaining a home, but we were gaining a community filled with people who want to see all its members attain their dreams.鈥濃仩
