Alumni Council
Alumni Association Advisory Council for the 2025-2026 Term
The Alumni Association Advisory Council is a group of dedicated alumni volunteers
that act in an advisory capacity to support the mission of the College and goals of
the Office of Advancement through the Alumni Association. Council members are called
to translate into action the strong mission, beliefs, and legacy of the College by
building bridges and inspiring involvement within the alumni community. Council members
act as ambassadors by attending events both on campus and in their own geographic
area, reaching out to fellow alumni to encourage involvement with Albertus throughout
their lives, and promoting philanthropy to the College.

“I became involved as a Centennial Ambassador and in the process, connected with classmates.
After attending the event, I felt a pull back to Albertus, which gave me the foundation
to my
successful careers and sparked my passion for continuing my education. As a result,
I wanted to
become more involved with Albertus and do feel very inspired each time I am back on
campus.”
Nicole Carpenter '21
Profession:

“As a graduate of the Accelerated Adult Undergraduate degree program, Albertus has
been
instrumental in my life and career. I made the decision to attend Albertus because
of the
culture—the emphasis on small class sizes and the connection between learners and
instructors. I thoroughly enjoyed my time on campus and am forever grateful for the
skills and
education which allowed me to pursue a career I had never imagined for myself. I am
honored
to serve as a member of the Alumni Advisory Council to share my experience with others
and
support fellow Alumni.”

“Once a Falcon, always a Falcon! My time at Albertus was truly remarkable. The unwavering
support from the faculty was beyond measure, and I will forever cherish it. As an
adult learner, I
enjoyed the intimate class sizes that fostered dynamic classroom discussions, enabling
us to
engage in critical thinking as we challenged one another through meaningful dialogue.
And I
take great pride in the college's academic growth and the positive trajectory it's
currently on.”

“Albertus gave me the opportunity of being an adult student while working full time.
I am
honored and forever grateful to the faculty and staff for their commitment, their
invaluable
insights and expertise to student success. I will always cherish the relationships,
the cohesiveness and the intimate class sizes which
allowed me to receive undivided attention in the subject matter. As a Program Manager I
have
been able to create programs and implement processes all because of the knowledge
I have
gained at Albertus, I am forever grateful.”
Karen Coughlin '93

“In my years at Albertus, I grew as a student, and as a person, it is by far my most
formative
years, giving me the opportunity to become strong in my word, in my goals, and setting
me up
to excel in my professional life and in my continuous personal goal to create community.
Albertus gave me an opportunity to balance my academic and athletic life, although
I was not a
star in either – I was given opportunity in both and I continue to use those tools
for
prioritization of work/life balance. I created lifelong relationships at Albertus
Magnus, my
roommates and friends are still some of the most important people in my life and I
am blessed
that they are a constant in my life. Recently, I have switched roles as an Alumna;
to being a
mom to a current student at Albertus. It has given me a renewed appreciation of all
Albertus
Magnus has to offer. I am looking forward to my term on the council and hope to reconnect
alumni, celebrating and promoting all the opportunities that Albertus Magnus has to
offer.”

"At my most recent visit to Albertus Magnus College for last fall’s anniversary celebration,
I met
several former schoolmates, who continue to stay active within the Albertus community.
I
realized how big a role Albertus played in my life, and fondly remembered and appreciated
the
lasting impact of those four years. Meeting alumni who took that appreciation and
decided to
give back, I thought I might too."

has been one defined by a commitment to excellence and a passion for leveraging knowledge
to inspire others. As an instructional designer within a premier healthcare organization,
I have exemplified the fusion of cutting-edge technology and compassionate care. My
innovative approach to curriculum development and training programs has not only elevated
the standards within the organization but has also shaped the landscape of healthcare
education. Equipped with a Master of Fine Arts in Writing, I embody the essence of
storytelling and expression. My literary pursuits have not only honed my craft but
have also illuminated the power of narrative in transforming perspectives and fostering
empathy. Beyond my professional endeavors, I am an active member of the Alumni Council,
where I seek to strengthen the bonds of the alumni community. Residing in the vibrant
community of Hamden, I am deeply rooted in the fabric of local life. As a mother to
a fellow alumnus, I instill the values of knowledge, integrity, and compassion in
the next generation, ensuring that the legacy of my alma mater endures for years to
come. Passionate about the Constitution, U.S. history, and the art of writing, I am
a champion of intellectual discourse and civic engagement. An ardent aficionado of
music and the arts, I find solace and inspiration in the beauty of creative expression.
