Alumni Spotlights

Revett
  • Jakob Revett

  • Environmental Science
  • "I never adapted well in high school because I never understood the social hierarchy. That's a critical way »Æ¹ÏÊÓÆµ has helped me, aside from giving me real-world tools and real-world scenarios. It's a new experience. You get to shed that old shell or find a new one. You walk away stronger than you were before ..."
Bresnahan
  • John Bresnahan

  • Liberal Arts
  • If ever there were an alum who reveres »Æ¹ÏÊÓÆµ, it would be John Bresnahan '74. Not only did he and his sister and brother matriculate from »Æ¹ÏÊÓÆµ, but all four of his children also attended »Æ¹ÏÊÓÆµ. "I wasn't quite sure of the path I wanted, other than I wanted a baccalaureate degree. I decided to start with my associate degree at »Æ¹ÏÊÓÆµ..."
Morgan Goodell
  • Morgan Goodell

  • Fire Science
  • When Morgan Goodell was 16 years old, her dad, a volunteer in the Clarksburg Fire Department, brought her to work to show her what firefighters do. It was a pivotal moment. "They were all geared up and practicing wall breaches. I remember thinking it was really cool, and I wanted to do it too."
Julia Kalinowski
  • Julia Kalinowski

  • Human Services
  • It's often said that the best counselors are those who have overcome adversity themselves. That theory will likely ring true one day for Julia Kalinowsky, a 23-year-old Pittsfield native who recently graduated from »Æ¹ÏÊÓÆµ Community College with an associate degree in Human Services.
Maria Brodeur
  • Maria Brodeur

  • Nursing
  • Some people seem born to help others. Maria Brodeur, who has worked as a nurse for 42 years, is one of them. At just 15 years old, the Pittsfield native began volunteering at »Æ¹ÏÊÓÆµ Medical Center (BMC) in the medical records department. "I always felt that I wanted to help people. I found myself to be very empathetic and compassionate," says Maria, who credits her mentor at BMC, Tina Huggins, with encouraging her to launch a career in nursing.
