The Mount's Office of Alumni Affairs will show alumni profiles
of some of our alumni here. We are very proud of the
accomplishments and hard work of our former students.
Please stop back, as we update these frequently.
Dolores Alfano
Svoboda, Class of 1967
Dolores Alfano Svoboda (Dee) was not a traditional student when
she attended Mount Saint Mary College in its earliest days,
graduating with her bachelor’s degree and New York State teaching
certification in 1967. But then traditional is hardly a word that
describes any aspect of her life.
Today, Dee lives with her husband Charles (Chick) Svoboda in
Clearwater, Florida. They spend their days flying a Cessna 182
high-performance airplane over the Gulf of Mexico for the Coast
Guard Auxiliary and Civil Air Patrol. It’s a rather
non-traditional retirement lifestyle.
Kathy Hirschy Mayer,
Class of 1974
Executive Editor, Reading Department, Macmillan/McGraw Hill
Publishing
Celebrating her 25th anniversary at Macmillan/McGraw Hill and 35
years in the publishing industry, Kathy (Hirschy) Mayer graduated
from Mount Saint Mary College in 1974 with a degree in biology.
According to Kathy, “I was lucky enough to find a job shortly
afterwards.”
Enny Pichardo, Class of
2006
Almost a month after graduating from Mount Saint Mary College in
May of 2006, Enny Pichardo started working at NY1 Noticias, a 24
hour news station that covers New York City. He started as a news
writer and shortly after that learned how to produce. Enny was in
charge of writing and editing the news stories, including the video
feed, images and sound bites that accompanies each news story.
