Every graduate has a unique story about what they’ve learned while at Naz and what they’re looking forward to. See Commencement photos & videos.

Congratulations, Alumni Award winners

Nazareth Alumni Association honored the achievements of new & past graduates, in person! These award recipients serve as role models, encourage others to consider a Naz education, & further inspire a sense of Naz pride.

Teachers in training learn with/from high school students

High school students from Kendall, Our Lady of Mercy, and Wilson high schools took an adolescent development course this semester with Nazareth education students, studying community issues that matter to teens. Those connections and first-hand perspectives on school violence and LGBTQ+ concerns advanced Naz students' teacher training. They recently presented their research — and shared what they learned on WXXI Connections with Evan Dawson.

So many champion athletics teams!

It was an incredible athletic season for our Golden Flyers! Our men's & women's soccer, men's cross country, men's & women's swimming & diving, men's basketball, and men's & women's tennis teams were all crowned Empire 8 Champions. Our women's ice hockey team won the United Collegiate Hockey Conference (UCHC) title! Plus, our men's rugby team was selected to go to the National Collegiate Rugby (NCR) National Championship Tournament! We're so proud of all our student athletes! 🎉
