Dominican University alum Keith Reardon ’23 is highlighted in an article published by the Wednesday Journal of Oak Park.

“From Janitor to Middle-School Classroom” tells the story of Reardon’s return to higher education to obtain a teaching degree after working for several years as a custodian for Oak Park Elementary School District 97. Reardon’s story was first shared in the Spring 2023 edition of Dominican Magazine.

The annual celebration featured a procession through campus.
