Berkeley Alumni Gather for Bermuda Reception

On Friday, April 29, 2011, the Departments of Alumni Relations and International Admissions partnered to support Berkeley College's first international alumni reception.  Twenty-one alumni attended the social gathering, which was held at the Bermuda Aquarium Museum and Zoo in Flatt's Village, Bermuda.

"The venue was beautiful and everyone really had a good time.  I couldn't get enough "thank yous" from them as they were glad to be part of it," said Yaruby Petit-Frere, Associate Director for International Admissions.  "They left motivated to get together again and plan more events.  Many expressed interest in coming back to complete their degrees online, or had family members they would refer to Berkeley."
