Cabrini University students, faculty, and alumni spent Sunday celebrating 67 years of history as well as their final graduating class.
Cabrini University closed nearly seven decades of history Sunday with 2024 marking its final graduating class. The university is closing and selling its property to Villanova University.Sunday’s final commencement served as a day of celebration, but it was also a day of melancholy at the small Catholic college in the Philadelphia suburbs. A solemn ceremonial entrance of a kilted bagpipe ensemble opened the legacy ceremony marking the end of Cabrini’s 67 years in higher education.
"We are pretty upset that this is happening so many memories have been made here. This is extremely poignant to say," Class of 2010 alum Jillian Davis Corian said. "It’s very sad Cabrini was like a home for us really it brought us all together. There are 7-8 girls, and we are all very good friends and it followed through the years," Sarah Gaglione, a 2009 graduate, added.At its final commencement today, Cabrini conferred more than 600 graduate and undergraduate degrees.
