The fall 2025 semester kicked off with an assembly for new and returning students. President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Sharon B. Devivo and coordinator of student activities and engagement Jared Martino addressed attendees with welcoming words. Alair Cunningham ‘26, student government association president provided advice imploring his fellow students to take advantage of everything Vaughn has to offer.   

Vaughn alumni and representatives from JetBlue, Hilain Hector ‘16 and Discaury Urenna ‘07, also spoke at the event as part of the fall 2025 “take-off” hosted by career services. They described their early work experience in aviation, encouraged students to collaborate with the different organizations at the College to kickstart their careers and to attend the upcoming employment fair on October 10.  

The assembly was followed with a luncheon hosted by JetBlue and career services where students learned about upcoming events and workshops and how to sign up for Handshake.
