Assistant Director for Alumni & Parent Relations at Saint Michael's College named

Christopher R. Bernier of Waterbury Center, formerly with Tubbs Snowshoe Company in Stowe, has been named Assistant Director for Alumni & Parent Relations at Saint Michael's College. The 2004 Saint Michael’s College graduate started at the college last week.

Bernier will be building relationships for Saint Michael’s through various means—alumni events on campus and off, communications outreach online and in person, and through social networking. He will work especially with alumni volunteers whose outreach will multiply the college’s connections. His focus will be on Reunion classes, as well as on alumni in the Baltimore-Washington area, Hartford and Southern Connecticut, Western Massachusetts, Albany, N.Y., New Hampshire and greater Portland, Maine.

Bernier is on the board of directors of Crag VT (Climbers Resource Access Group) of Richmond, Vt., a volunteer organization that works to keep outdoor areas accessible to climbing. He is also a volunteer with the Special Olympics.
