Moravian CollegeOn Saturday, May 14 at Moravian College (Bethlehem, Pa.) commencement, M. Blair Gericke will graduate from the institution that her 6X great grandmother Benigna von Zinzendorf founded 269 years earlier. An article on USA Today’s College Website Channel recently named Moravian as one of 10 groundbreaking American women’s colleges. As a non-traditional student, Gericke’s story is a compelling one, not what you’d expect for a direct descendant of the Zinzendorf family and the College’s matriarch and founder Benigna.
