Letter from the Director
I joined Union College as the Director of the Becker Career Center on October 1, 2007. Before Union, I was the Manager of Corporate Recruiting at Bryant University, located just outside Providence, Rhode Island. Prior to Bryant University, I spent 24 years practicing human resources in the insurance, pharmaceuticals and oilfield service industries. I prepared for a career in career services by completing my masters degree in education, with an emphasis on career services, at Springfield College in 2006. I received my bachelors degree in industrial and labor relations from Cornell University.
As a father of two sons who graduated from a small liberal arts college and a daughter who graduated from a large university, I approach my job from the perspective of both a parent and a professional. I intend for your son or daughter to receive timely and effective service, opportunities to apply what they are learning in the classroom in a practical setting, post-graduation employment opportunities and graduate school advising. n addition, we will strive to help students recognize that they can do anything they choose, and we want them to learn to do the work and trust their instincts.
If you ever have any questions or comments, please feel free to call me at 518-388-6176.
