Commencement 2016
Sunny skies and a pleasant temperature near 70 degrees greeted the 2,546 January and June graduates of the College of Staten Island, their families, friends, and supporters, as well as members of the College community on June 2 at the College’s 67th Commencement ceremony on the Great Lawn. After opening remarks from CSI Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Gary Reichard, CSI President Dr. William J. Fritz came to the lectern. In his remarks, Dr. Fritz focused on the legacy of place of the College’s Willowbrook campus and launched the College’s 60th Anniversary celebration. He outlined the progression of the campus from farmland to the site of Halloran General Hospital, a state-of-the-art medical facility that provided treatment to more than 162,000 wounded soldiers during World War 2.
