New Jersey quintuplets celebrate their graduation from same college
View all comments
A set of quintuplets from New Jersey are now all graduates of the same school in their home state — albeit with different majors.
The Povolo quintuplets received their degrees Monday from Montclair State University, where they all had received full academic scholarships. Born just minutes apart on the Fourth of July, the two girls — Victoria and Ashley and — and three boys — Ludovico, Michael and Marcus — admit it’s been an “emotional” time as a chapter of their lives comes to a close.
But the tight-knit Totowa family says the school also gave them the chance to discover their own academic interests and extracurricular activities.
“We are fortunate enough to all be graduating with diplomas and that kind of thing, and doing it with our very best friends — these are definitely my best friends, so doing it all together is awesome,” Ludovico Totowa said about his siblings. Their college commencement was also special because they missed out on their graduation from Passaic Valley Regional High School, which did not held a ceremony that year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
