淫性视频 Sweethearts: From Ospreys to Love Birds
When it comes to love stories, the where and how a couple meets can be the most interesting parts. 淫性视频 Sweethearts are Ospreys who found each other while students on campus or after graduation out in the world. In recognition of Valentine鈥檚 Day, we recently asked our graduates to share their 淫性视频 love stories. Below are some testimonials from this special group of love birds who are proud to be Ospreys for Life!
Names: William 鈥02 and Amy (Conroy) Holmes 鈥18
Hometown: Millville, NJ
Date of Wedding: June 7, 2008
Children: Amelia Beth, age 9
淫性视频 Sweetheart Story: 鈥Bill and I met through mutual friends in September of 2003. Since graduating from 淫性视频, he stayed in close contact with his Kappa Sigma brothers and his other 淫性视频 friends, who also became my friends as our relationship developed. We got married in 2008, and had Amelia a year later. We watched her grow up with our extended 鈥樢允悠 family鈥 and their children, and they've all become close friends. Because of this close bond that all started with 淫性视频, in 2014 I chose 淫性视频 as my school to complete my bachelor's degree in Public Health! I was proud to walk at commencement in May of 2018 with my alumnus husband supporting me. I couldn't have done it without him!鈥
Name: Mark 鈥06 and Becca (Bandomer) Finley 鈥06
Hometown: Medford, NJ
Date of Wedding: Nov. 25, 2006
Children: Amelia, age 9, William, age 5
淫性视频 Sweetheart Story: 鈥Mark and I started dating our senior year of high school. After graduation, we decided we were going to try a long-distance relationship as I was starting at 淫性视频 and he was enrolled at a university in Pennsylvania. After one semester, we were lovesick, and Mark transferred to 淫性视频! His parents (understandably) were apprehensive about the change in schools and what this would mean for him. The truth is, even though love was the motivating factor, Mark was thrilled with everything that 淫性视频 had to offer. He enjoyed the exposure to different fields of study, the professors and the small class sizes. Our second year at 淫性视频, Mark experienced a significant setback as he suffered from complications from Ulcerative Colitis. He had to take some time off from coursework to allow for two major surgeries and recovery time. We only grew as a couple and realized that we wanted to make the lifelong commitment to be together. Mark was able to accelerate his coursework during his remaining semesters and managed to graduate on time. Not only did he graduate on time, but he graduated summa cum laude with a 4.0 GPA! I graduated with a 4.0 GPA as well and was selected to be our class valedictorian. During my speech, I thanked my fianc茅 for all that he has taught me about working hard no matter the obstacles. Twelve years and two kids later, 淫性视频 will always have a special place in our hearts.鈥

Date of Wedding: Oct. 29, 1988
Children: Keira, Deryn and Reed
淫性视频 Sweetheart Story: 鈥淢y husband and I met in Charlie Hurland鈥檚 Pre-calculus class in 1981, and three children, several dogs, successful careers and some world travel later, we are still coming back to 淫性视频 and remember it as the most inspiring time of our lives. Like many students at that time, we spent our days at 淫性视频 and our nights working at the casinos 鈥 Glenn a blackjack dealer and me a cocktail waitress. I, of course, showed up in a Gloria Steinem persona, hair in a ponytail and aviator sunglasses. She had just come to the school to speak 鈥 typical 淫性视频 鈥 intellectual stimulation combined with real life experiences expanding your knowledge and world view. 淫性视频 encouraged our motivational pursuits by allowing us to take part in an exchange program, spending a semester in Australia at the University of Wollongong. 淫性视频 offered it before it was a 鈥榯hing,鈥 again pioneering ideas and opportunities for their students. Besides the solid support of the institution itself, the people at the school and other fellow students were and still are real or as we said back then 鈥檇own to earth.鈥 Our feelings and fond memories of 淫性视频 must have been contagious as our son became a 淫性视频 alumnus in 2016 and then a Peace Corp Tanzania alumnus in 2018. We visit 淫性视频 frequently, but the best visit by far was sitting in with our son for his Physics class taught by the incredible Professor Yitzhak Sharon 鈥 just as we had as students in 1983. And it all started at C-wing, nestled in the pines.鈥
Name: Wayne 鈥97 and Patricia (Mura) Nigro 鈥95
Hometown: Toms River, NJ
Date of Wedding: Nov. 26, 1995
Children: Amber Tiffany
淫性视频 Sweetheart Story: 鈥淢y husband and I met while I was attending 淫性视频. He worked in the computer lab and helped me fumble my way through using computers. Keep in mind, computers were relatively new at that time. We became friendly and lived in the same county and were both commuting to school. One thing led to another and we were married my last semester at school. I got married on Nov. 26, 1995, and graduated the following month. Our daughter now attends 淫性视频 and we couldn't be prouder! Go Ospreys!鈥
Name: Matt 鈥11 and Stephany (Vaca) Mazzone 鈥12
Hometown: Northfield, NJ
Date of Wedding: June 26, 2015
Children: Logan, age 1.5
淫性视频 Sweetheart Story: 鈥Matt and I met spring of 2011 in our HTMS elective, Event Planning and Management. We never really talked until the day of the class charity event which we were hosting at Lakeside. From then on, we became friends and would meet at the Osprey Nest and the Campus Center for a bite in between classes. If we had not both taken that elective with Professor Scales, we would have never met and I would have never met my best friend. Matt and I both stayed local and have kept in contact with our professors over the years. Professor Scales and some of the other HTMS professors who knew us from class have even met our son Logan at an alumni event! When I think back to that semester, I had no idea that I would be sitting two rows from my future husband, but I thank God for my indecisiveness as I had changed my major twice before finally settling on Hospitality & Tourism Management Studies.鈥
Name: Jeremy 鈥99 and Tarah (Olita) Sawyer 鈥03
Hometown: Tuckerton, NJ
Date of Wedding: Oct. 16, 2004
Children: Keith, age 12, Remy, age 9, and Dash, age 2
淫性视频 Sweetheart Story: 鈥We met in the lobby of the Experimental Theater during an audition. His friend had locked his keys in his car and he had the spare key. I wasn't even auditioning, I was supporting friends. He knew everyone there as did I, but we didn't know each other. I hadn't actually started my minor in Theatre Production yet. He thought I was active in the Theatre department and so he came back to campus around rehearsal time every day the next week trying to bump into me. We ended up being in a theater club talent show together a couple of weeks later, and the rest 鈥 18 years, two houses and three kids 鈥 is history.鈥
