Friends and family joined Thomas to celebrate his graduation.
“This is an occasion I will never forget. To be joined by my wife, family and friends to graduate from an institution like NYU is incredible. I am a strong believer in education and a proud product of Mount Vernon schools. I want the children of Mount Vernon to know that they can reach for the stars if they put their hearts in it,” said Thomas.
