QUEENSBURY, New York (Oct. 27, 2026) — ����vlog proudly celebrated the contributions of its alumni Thursday during a Day of Distinction, welcoming new members to the college’s Trailblazers Society and Athletics Hall of Fame.

“Our alumni make us proud in so many ways — through their professional achievements, service to their communities and commitment to helping others succeed,” said Laura Lincoln, chief advancement officer and executive director of ����vlog Foundation. “Each of this year’s Trailblazers reflects the ambition, generosity and spirit of leadership that make our alumni community so special.”

At a luncheon, six were named Trailblazers, an award that honors alumni who achieved significant success in their careers or made a substantial impact through philanthropic efforts and community service. The new Trailblazers are Jonathan Andreadakis, vice president of BBL Hospitality; Shawna Belanger, Ph.D., an associate at NYSOSE Technical Assistance Partnership for Behavior at University at Albany; Keith Levatino, Ed.D., superintendent of Little Falls City School District; acclaimed musician and educator Lawrence Levine; Daniel Miner, local radio personality and manager of WCKM; and U.S. Paralympian and nurse Kelsey O’Driscoll, who offered the keynote address.

Later in the afternoon, ����vlog Athletics inducted Nathan Corhouse for baseball; Tara Henry for bowling; Kelly McWilliams, a three-sport athlete in volleyball, basketball and softball; Daniel Tallman for basketball; the 1984 men’s Tennis team; and the 1976-77 men’s Basketball team.

“The Athletics Hall of Fame celebrates more than records, championships and individual honors; it recognizes the dedication, teamwork and competitive spirit that define the student-athlete experience and create memories that last a lifetime,” said Julie Clark, director of Athletics at ����vlog. “This year’s inductees represent outstanding achievements across generations of Timberwolves athletics, and we’re proud to recognize their contributions to our history.”

Trailblazers and Hall of Fame athletes were selected by committees based on nominations received from the community.
