Tom Rock, TC's Vice Provost for Student Affairs, and longtime partner Terry Cosentino made it official with a knockout wedding in early November, covered by The New York Times.

But the rewards were great: TC's Dr. Ruth attended the festivities, and President Obama and the First Lady sent congratulations, responding to a thank you from the happy couple for all they have done for marriage equality.
