Alumni Board

An Albertus education changed my life. As an adult learner with an established career, I decided to take a few classes for enrichment. A few years later I was accepting a diploma at commencement and working at a wonderful new career. An opportunity arose to become a member of the Board of Governors of the Alumni Association. I jumped at the chance to give back to the College; however, I am still reaping the benefits of the Albertus Magnus College experience. As a board member, I derive great satisfaction from working with other alumni and the College community to further enhance the Albertus tradition.

For me, attending Albertus Magnus filled an empty spot in my life. I always expected to work, and college was a way to achieve more in my career, but Albertus became more personal to me. The people of Albertus, its faculty and leaders, fellow students and colleagues are a network more akin to family than simply acquaintances. The small campus has grown and advanced but the atmosphere of caring, knowing and validating each person in their own right has never changed and no one is ever forgotten. I feel I am an ambassador for the College, sharing my experience there with a heartfelt appreciation for what I have learned and for the lifelong sense of belonging that has enriched me as a person and a leader in my chosen profession.

The faculty and students of Albertus Magnus College provided me with skills and opportunities which have enabled me to chart my own future. My life today is a direct result and reflection of my time at Albertus. I give back in order to allow others to experience the immeasurable benefits which reside within the community of Albertus.

Albertus Magnus College is more than just an institution where I received an education. To me, Albertus is extended family, a place that received me when I was vulnerable and scared, and nurtured me into a confident and conscientious woman. I wish for Albertus to provide the same haven to others. That is why I support its mission by being there as a member of the Alumni Association Board of Governors.

For so many years, Albertus Magnus College was my academic home. It's where I forged important friendships and broadened my mind, as I applied what I learned to my day-job and career goals. Serving the Alumni Board of Governors has been a pleasure and a privilege. Whether it's by recruiting new students, chairing the Alumni Awards Committee, networking with fellow alumni or helping to staff key academic events, I delight in being able to give back to an institution that helped set me on a successful and meaningful path.

When I think about my time at Albertus I often smile. Albertus has given me so much; this was a place where I gained not only knowledge but friendships and contacts that will last a lifetime. Albertus became a second home and family to me, and just like family does, Albertus has impacted who I have become which is something I am truly thankful for. So when I was given the opportunity to give back by serving on the Board I couldn't help but to take the opportunity. I am proud and enjoy being a part of what Albertus is today and am hopeful that the contributions that I make will assist in what the Albertus of tomorrow will be. I truly believe it is an honor to serve on the Board of Governors.

President, Alumni Association Board of Governors
Fresh out of high school, I was given the opportunity to attend college, the first person in my family to do so, in part through the generosity of a college-provided scholarship. Without that invaluable gift, I would never have earned an undergraduate degree, which ultimately led me to Albertus and a graduate degree. If it hadn't been for that "someone" who felt a desire to help me achieve my goals through their financial support of the college, I wouldn't be where I am today – a longtime member of the Board of Governors, volunteering my time to ensure that many more students are the beneficiaries of "someone's" invaluable gift.

I love Albertus!!! And that's the main reason I work on the Alumni Association Board. Due to the lessons I learned and friendships I made at Albertus, I am the woman I am today. Albertus allowed me to come out of my shell and taught me how to be a great leader. By being a traditional day resident student I had the opportunity to build many great relationships that have tremendously impacted my life in the midst of a supportive community. Now that I have graduated from Albertus and have obtained my graduate degree I feel it's important for me to give back to a community that gave me so much. I enjoy planning events for the College and being able to visit the College regularly to keep up with the happenings of the school. I'm very excited with the direction Albertus is going in and I'm proud to be a part of Albertus' continued tradition of excellence!
