Honoring Mandy Gone too soon, Mandy, a graduate of the School of Science with a degree in Chemistry, lived a beautiful life even while facing a deadly disease. She was “pint-sized” in stature but immense in heart, pushing teammates not only on the water but in life. Her philosophy was simple: “The size of the rower does not determine the heart of the rower.” Academically curious, unyieldingly motivated, quick to laugh, and forthright in her views, Mandy welcomed everyone to the team and inspired those around her to be their best selves. Beyond rowing, she was a fierce friend, a loving partner to her husband Mervyn, and an amazing mother to her sons Cedric and Damian. Her warmth, leadership, and dedication continue to resonate with the RPI community.
