Molloy University Welcomes Largest Freshman Class In School's History

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NY — The largest incoming freshman class has moved into the residence halls. They are also the first freshman group at Molloy University.

"It really reflects what Molloy has become over the years," Dr. James P. Lentini, president of Molloy University, said. "We already were a university; we just didn’t have the official name. It also bodes well for our future and the growth we will have in healthcare, the arts and much more. There’s such a great buzz to this."

The Class of 2026 has 646 students from 23 states and they are represented by 14 countries, an all-time high for the school.

"It’s the best day of the year," said Janine Biscari, VP, Student Affairs for Molloy University. "We have the capacity for 338 students – the most ever we’ve had living on campus."

As with past years since the pandemic, Molloy will continue its COVID-19 protocols, including a vaccine mandate for students, faculty, and staff.
