After 67 years of operation, the Delaware County university announced last June that the school would close indefinitely.
"My high school actually shut down, and I was the second to last class for that one, so it's like, wow, it's over. Cabrini's going to close and it's so sad. I won't have a place to come back to," said Harris.
Graduate Erick Mendieta says Cabrini allowed him a once-in-a-lifetime experience as a first-generation graduate from Mexico. "I mean, it feels good to be part of something, like I feel like I'm leaving like a part of a legacy," says Mendieta. "It's unfortunate that school is closing, I have to look at some partner schools or other schools for my MBA, but I'm still excited."
Shannon Straub received her Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education with a focus on Special Ed. She says the people she met and the memories she made could never be replaced. "In my freshman year, it was COVID. It was quarantine, six feet apart, and we've kind of just evolved so much and I've made great memories here. This is my second home, my family, and honestly, it couldn't have been a better experience," said Straub."In the next few months, as the sign at the front entrance no longer reads Cabrini and a new school moves in, know that your home still exists.
