With alumnus Andrew O’Grady ’88, LCSW-R, serving as Grand Marshal, more than a dozen Â鶹ɫÇéƬ employees, students, and alumni marched in the 29th annual Dutchess County St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday, March 2.

Â鶹ɫÇéƬ grad Andrew O’Grady ’88, LCSW-R, CEO of Mental Health America of Dutchess County, was Grand Marshal of the 29th annual Dutchess County St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday, March 2. He’s seen here with his wife, Elaine O’Grady, who serves at the college as Vice President for Students, and their children, Ryan and Kayla.

A bit of rain couldn’t dampen the Mount marchers’ spirits as they proudly carried a banner emblazoned with the college’s logo.

O’Grady, the CEO of Mental Health America of Dutchess County, has 32 years of dedicated service to those affected by mental illness and the mental health professionals and systems that treat those individuals. One of the biggest growth areas for MHA, under his leadership, is in working with the Veterans Department.

He was selected to serve as Grand Marshal thanks to his outstanding service throughout the community, noted parade organizers.
