More than 2,000 students gathered at MetLife Stadium this spring to celebrate their graduation from Bergen Community College. They were joined by friends, family and faculty, all of whom endured temperatures that soared well into the 90s that day.
The graduating class was led by their valedictorian, 71-year-old Marilyn Heiner, a Teaneck native who graduated with a 4.0 GPA and an associate of applied science degree in early childhood education.
Marilyn also goes by another name – Mrs. Superfan – which she earned more than four decades ago because of her and her late husband’s devotion to the New York Giants.
