Alumni Legacy Families
Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³» takes great pride in the long-standing tradition it shares with generations of families who consider themselves Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³» Panthers.
Legacy families are students and alumni whose family, including parents, grandparents and/or siblings, attended or currently attend Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³». The Legacy Family Program recognizes families for their continued generational support and commitment to Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³». Family connections have long been a part of the success of Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³» and its students and it is through our alumni families that the heritage of the University passes from generation to generation.

Featured Story
Muscarella Family
At the heart of the family’s Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³» story is Louisa Buono Muscarella, who served as Art Exhibit Curator in Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»â€™s Fine Arts Library from 1974 to 1993. A beloved member of the Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³» community, Louisa balanced her career and family life while nurturing her own lifelong love of learning. After prioritizing her children’s college educations, she pursued a degree of her own, earning her bachelor’s degree from Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³» in 1988 at the age of 57. Her achievement became an inspiration for generations of her family.
