A weekend of celebrations continued on Saturday, May 11th as graduates and their families gathered for Commencement Mass and Brunch at Hilbert College. After the events, Hilbert faculty, staff, graduates, and their loved ones prepared for the Commencement Ceremony at Watermark Wesleyan Church in Hamburg, NY.
The Hilbert community gathered for a memorial service in honor of beloved student Marina Kostadinovski, who passed on April 5, 2019. Marina would have graduated this year with a degree in Legal Studies.
Two student organizations at Hilbert College, Enactus and Rotaract, held a dedication ceremony for “Mother Colette’s Crosswalk”. This project brought new flowers, plants, and landscaping to the area around Hilbert’s St. Clare Chapel.
Special thanks to the generous support of Kevin Monaco ’01  Proprietor of Monaco Enterprises Of WNY, Inc., for donating the plants & materials!

The International Day of Peace (“Peace Day”) is observed around the world each year on 21 September. Established in 1981 by unanimous United Nations resolution, Peace Day provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all differences and to contribute to building a Culture of Peace.
Hilbert held events on campus to observe Peace Day, including a Global Feast for Peace, which featured international foods and creating individual peace flags; a minute of silence/moment of peace, which connects Hilbert with people around the world in observing a moment of silence in the noon hour in every time zone; and a presentation – Home Begins Again – which featured stories of conflict, displacement and, ultimately, hop that led people from around the wold to Western New York.
