How long have you been at Berkeley College, and what has your experience been like?
I’ve been with Berkeley College for over 35 years. It’s been a great period of growth from the first day, not only for me personally, but for the College as a whole.

How has Berkeley College grown?
Berkeley College has grown in enrollment, the number and location of campuses, and the educational offerings. For example, when I first started, we were located in East Orange, NJ. In 1976, we moved to Garret Mountain and the Manhattan campus was still in the Chrysler Building. And, other than a few students from the Caribbean islands, we did not have any international students. Now, we have over 700 international students from all over the world.

Alumni Soccer Outing

Berkeley alumni cheered on the NY Red Bulls while they played LA Galaxy

Berkeley College alumni visited Harrison, NJ to see the NY Red Bulls play the LA Galaxy. The stadium was packed, the game a tense showdown between two great teams, and Berkeley College alumni were there to watch! President Dario A. Cortes, PhD and other associates were also on hand to enjoy the festivities.

Although the Red Bulls ultimately fell to the Galaxy by a score of 1 - 0, the game was great fun and a wonderful opportunity to see many Berkeley alumni and family!
