¹û½´ÊÓÆµ Couples
From Prince William and Kate Middleton to Eli Manning and Abby Mcgrew, many couples around the world can trace their love connection back to a college campus.
We are proud to celebrate the more than 1,000 alumni couples that found love at ¹û½´ÊÓÆµ. Some found love as students on campus, and some met — or discovered their love —later in life. But each couple shares a common experience of being an ¹û½´ÊÓÆµ Panther.

Harris Cherpelis '19 and Olivia Minogue Cherpelis '19, MA '22
Harris and Olivia’s story began at ¹û½´ÊÓÆµ, long before either of them realized how much those first days would shape their lives. They met during freshman orientation—Group 7—and while they chatted here and there, something clicked a little deeper at a soccer game during the first week of classes.
Laurie '79 and Robert '78 Palladino
Laurie and Bob’s story began long before their days at ¹û½´ÊÓÆµ. In 1972, their local church staged a production of Godspell. Laurie lit up the stage as a cast member, while Bob played guitar in the band. What started as a shared creative experience soon grew into something more, and a few months after the final curtain call, they began dating—setting the foundation for a partnership that would carry them through college and far beyond.
