Croton-On-Hudson Resident Graduates from Colby College at 195th Commencement

From Colby College:

Hannah M. Moy of Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y. was one of 504 seniors who graduated from Colby College in Waterville, Maine on May 22, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree at the college's 195th Commencement. Internet pioneer and author Arianna Huffington was the guest speaker.

Moy, who majored in psychology with a neuroscience concentration, attended Croton-Harmon High School and is the daughter of Laurence and Karen Moy of Croton-on-Hudson.

In front of a crowd numbering in the thousands, Huffington spoke about the need to unplug and get some rest, urging graduates to connect with others personally -- not electronically -- and change the culture and language around work and sleep.

"Frankly, it's a chaotic world," Huffington said. "We take much better care of our smartphones than we do of ourselves."

The author of a bestselling book about sleep deprivation, Huffington said that the multitude of devices and overload of information in people's lives have resulted in stress and sleep problems.

Colby President David A. Greene handed a diploma to each of the graduates.
