On Friday, Sept. 9 Husson University will kick off its Homecoming Weekend with the 2022 Alumni Hall of Fame Ceremony and Reception in the Gracie Theatre at 4 p.m. Each year, Husson recognizes several special individuals who have brought distinction to themselves and their alma mater through their devotion to education, professionalism and service. In addition to being honored for their personal and career achievements, these individuals are recognized for their support of the university and its mission.

Six Husson graduates will be recognized this year. George Pusey, MBA, MS, OTR/L ’12, ’13G will be honored as this year’s young alumnus. He is an occupational therapist for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in the Houston, Texas area.

In addition, alumni Roberta Winchell, J.D. ’94 and Errol James ’74 will be inducted into the Alumni Hall of Fame. Winchell is an attorney at Winchell Law & Associates, LLC in Bangor, Maine. Before retiring, James was the managing partner of SoundView Partners, a firm that provided IT consulting, systems integration, outsourcing, technology and merger and acquisition services.

This year’s Honorary Alumnus is Lambros Karris, EdD. Karris is a professor emeritus of psychology who worked at Husson from 1969 to 2007. During his tenure, he helped establish the psychology department at the University. He was also instrumental in helping Husson transition from being a college to a university. More recently, Karris served as a member of the Campaign Steering Committee for the University’s Shaping our Future Comprehensive Campaign. This fundraising effort raised over $38 million to help provide endowment support, scholarships, annual gifts and the resources needed to create Harold Alfond Hall. All of these initiatives significantly enriched the educational opportunities available to Husson students.

The 2022 Presidential Outstanding Service Award will go to Tony and Dottie Tammaro Cerbone ’72/’66. The Cerbones served on the University’s Bangor Alumni Board for over 25 years. Homecoming is one of their favorite Husson events.
