Rosemary

IMSA's main entry is an important nexus of activity for students, alumni, visitors, and family. For much of our tenure across each of these categories, we’ve had the good fortune to have someone at the front desk who shared our enthusiasm and ambition while also being the face who welcomed dignitaries and investors alike. That person is Rosemary Forni.

Rose is more than a happy face who greeted us as we passed through the corridor from art and gym to academic wings - she has believed in each of us since she took the helm at the desk and has been an ever-present positive energy even as we may have struggled. When we have visited as alumni, Rose has greeted us by name, shared memories with us, and has always been welcoming.

Throughout it all, Rose’s care for students has been paramount. Many of you know that she has recently undergone surgical procedures which have left her in a rough position with ongoing medicinal needs which have far outstripped her financial ability, and repeated hospitalizations have added to her financial burden.

During her medical crisis, Rose has also lost her car to a collision, causing her transportation for medical needs to be that much more difficult. If we are able to fund Rose’s medication and medical expenses, any excess will go toward procuring new transportation for her.

If you are inclined to give back to such a bright and wonderful soul, please consider this your way to do so.
