Linda Brodeur ‘82 B.S., ‘01 M.Ed.

President
Bishop Guertin High School
 

How did Riv prepare you for your career?  The professors I had at Rivier were tremendous role models for good teaching. I eventually went back for my master’s degree and met Dr. Mitsakos. His leadership style was to partner with his students, believing that everyone had the capacity to lead and to learn, and the big idea that it is always the students who matter most. I have been trying to emulate [his leadership style] in this second phase of my career.

A proud career or life accomplishment?  I am really proud – and humbled – that the Brothers of the Sacred Heart asked me to serve as the first lay President of Bishop Guertin. They have—as a group—enveloped me as a true partner in the mission! Not only am I the first lay president, I think I am the first female president—for sure in the United States.

Your advice to future students? Rivier College is a community, first and foremost. So if you want to be a number and look forward to the anonymity of some of the larger colleges, do not apply. But if you are looking for a school where you will be known and you will know your professors, where you will be challenged and encouraged to challenge your peers … then submit an application! You will find you are more than you ever thought you could be.
