Alumni Spotlights

Wendi
  • Meet Wendi Ridgeway

  • Phlebotomy
  • Phlebotomy is literally in Wendi Ridgeway's blood. Her grandmothers and great-grandmothers were nurses, and she had an interest in healthcare at a young age. "It's a genetic thing for me." ... She liked the phlebotomy part of the classes best, even though she had some obstacles to overcome.
Weber
  • Meet Stefanie Weber

  • Environmental Science
  • Even though Stefanie Weber grew up in Pittsfield, a self-proclaimed "GE kid," she never imagined she'd live here full time to pursue her art. Today, she is an action-based artist who specializes in dance, movement and performance, having worked with famed Berkshire institutions such as Jacob's Pillow, Barrington Stage Company, Berkshire Opera Company and others.
Revett
  • Meet Jakob Revett

  • Environmental Science
  • "I never adapted well in high school because I never understood the social hierarchy. That's a critical way ΊμΠΣΦ±²₯ 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
  • Meet John Bresnahan

  • Liberal Arts
  • If ever there were an alum who reveres ΊμΠΣΦ±²₯, it would be John Bresnahan '74. Not only did he and his sister and brother matriculate from ΊμΠΣΦ±²₯, but all four of his children also attended ΊμΠΣΦ±²₯. "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 ΊμΠΣΦ±²₯..."
Morgan Goodell
  • Meet 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."
