Cheshire Resident Named to Albertus Counselor Advisory Board

From Sacred Heart Academy:

Sacred Heart Academy Director of Guidance Kerry Alexander, of Cheshire, will serve a three-year term on the inaugural Albertus Magnus College Counselor Advisory Board. Recognized by the College as a “guidance professional whose prerogative is considered invaluable to the progress of Albertus,” she will be asked and encouraged to provide critical feedback that will help shape future recruiting and retention efforts at Albertus.

Alexander looks forward to discussing admissions practices and goals, strategies to meet the unique challenges presented by the increasingly competitive and dynamic landscape of higher education, and networking with others in the counseling profession to bring best practices in college admissions back to Sacred Heart. She also serves on the Sacred Heart University Counselor Advisory Board.

Serving as director of guidance at Sacred Heart since 2009, Alexander was formerly a guidance counselor in both the Southington and Stratford public schools and also an independent college admissions counselor. She did her undergraduate work in psychology at State University of New York, Geneseo and her M.A. in counseling at Long Island University. Sixth year study in educational leadership and development was completed at SCSU.

Alexander resides in Cheshire with her husband Chris and their three children Meghan, Liam, and Erin.
