BUFFALO N.Y. (WKBW) — History was made as the last graduation ceremony for Medaille College was held at Kleinhans Music Hall Friday evening.
Walking to the graduation song is something Kristen Wojtaszek and many others have been waiting for.
"I'm receiving my master's degree in clinical mental health counseling," Wojtaszek shared. "I stayed in the printing industry because I was raising a family."
Laughing and smiling with her cohort, she said she is very excited about graduation. Yet there is something heavy on her mind.
Even though Wojtaszek walked across the stage, when she completes her last courses in August, she shared that her diploma will not say Medaille due to Trocaire acquiring the college effective July 31.
Students like Kristen Wojtaszek say they are on the fence about Medaille University becoming part of Trocaire College.
"We have invested blood, sweat, tears, time, effort, and energy," she said. "So it's really important to all of us to get the degree from Medaille and not Trocaire."
