A YEAR OF GROWTH
A full year has passed since Nightingale College began investing in its Alumni Association, and the progress from its early vision to what it has become has been truly remarkable. Bernard C. Austin III, Director of Alumni Relations, set out to better understand the needs of Nightingale graduates, aiming to build a function that alum- ni can rely on for resources and support beyond graduation. Continuing to build and strengthen the relationship between the graduates and the College was the focal point of my original vision,” said Bernard. “Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to engage directly with alumni, allowing us to shape the association around what they need, particularly in the area of workforce development.” Over the past year, Bernard has led the Alumni Association as a team of one, increasing engagement and brain- storming new ways to offer leadership opportunities, advanced training, and continued education.
