Just celebrating feeling healthy and staying positive.  No need for gifts!

Marc Haslam '90

In March I retired as Police Chief of the Swansea Police Dept. I had the honor of completing a 33 year career in law enforcement. It’s been an amazing career!

Elizabeth Berube '93

Retired and loving it.  Have been in Kansas since September of 2001. Made so many new friends since moving.

Susan Souza-Mort '95

I have been a research and instruction librarian with over two decades of dedicated service at Bristol. My expertise in information literacy has recently been highlighted through co-authorship of the book 'Leading Dynamic Information Literacy Programs' published by Routledge last year. My contributions to the field were further recognized at the European Council of Information Literacy in Krakow, Poland, where I presented in the fall of 2023. In addition to my role at Bristol, I head the College's Open Educational Resources (OER) program, demonstrating my commitment to accessible education. I was recently appointed as a representative to the Department of Higher Education's OER advisory board to guide OER initiatives for the college.

Hello fellow alums, since graduating I went on to receive a BA and MFA from Goddard College in Vermont. I am currently living in Providence, RI, and working as the National Media Coordinator for the Elevator Industry Work Preservation Fund, a division of the International Union of Elevator Constructors. For my job, I travel all over the US and Canada producing stories about the mechanics who install, service, and repair elevators, escalators, and other conveyance equipment (check out our website at ElevatorInfo.org). I will soon be publishing a book of poetry called A Complicated Piece of Machinery with Numerous Possibilities for Injury with Cobalt Press, a small independent publisher based on the west coast. One of my daughters graduated from Bristol Community College in 2021, and the other is a student at Mass College of Art. I remember the nine years I spent as a part-time student at Bristol fondly, and want to encourage other nontraditional students to keep working toward their educational goals, because there are so many opportunities on the other side.

Hello fellow Alumni, 

It's been just about 10 years since I have graduated from Bristol Community College with an associate in criminal justice and certificate in law enforcement. In the last 10 years, my whole life has changed and I'm sure many of you can say the same. Since graduating from Bristol Community College, I have become part of the Bristol County Sheriff's Office as a Correction Officer. I have been with the Sheriff's Office for 9 years and it's been exciting to say the least. I can definitely say that many of the topics I have learned and studied with my time at the college have been applied in my career. Recently, I have decided to go back to school and continue my education in cybersecurity and digital forensics. Law enforcement has always been a passion for me and I believe this new potential career path will lead me to even better opportunities. 

I want to say thank you to all my past professors for sharing their experiences in law enforcement and preparing me for the career I've enjoyed. I'm excited to start a new path where it all began.
