This year’s college graduates share one unique thing in common: Their college years were interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic that started during their freshman year.
At age 83, Sister Angela Gannon, C.S.J., has the kind of schedule that would exhaust people decades younger. She’s the director of Sponsored Educational Ministries for the Sisters of St. Joseph, a position that entails meeting with leaders of schools the religious order sponsors like The Mary Louis Academy and Fontbonne Hall.
