Business Career
Panel
In April, in a joint effort to ease the adjustment
from college to professional life, the career
services alumni advisory council held the final
panel of a three-part series. The students who
attended received first-hand information about
opportunities in various businesses from alumni
and members of the local community.
Sorrento Lactalis, formerly Sorrento Foods
of Buffalo, had several representatives on the
panel including: Beth Bauman, manager, tax
compliance and financial reporting; Pamela
Hamman, benefits and payments manager;
and Lynette Dixon, supervisor of benefits.
Hanna Pryvalava ’06, a student from Belarus,
applied for and received an internship with that
business in New York City.
Some graduates of the D’Youville Advance
program also returned for the event offering
their advice and information to the business
students. Julie M. Marinaccio ’04, a previous
employee of Sorrento Lactalis and now a
D’Youville admissions counselor, was pleased
to be present. From the University at Buffalo,
where she is currently a program assistant, was
Cindy DeGeorge.
Also on the panel were Miguel Santos ’84 from
National Grid and Mark Sauberan ’93, a database
administrator at the University at Buffalo,
who, with Dr. Amable Paulino, chair of the
D’Youville business department, comprised
the panel.
Florida Alums
Celebrate
Their DYC Heritage
Balmy breezes.
Sunlight glittering on blue waters.
Sultry evenings.
Florida at it’s best!
A perfect setting was provided for
alumni gatherings in Fort Lauderdale and
Orlando in early summer.
Enthusiastic alums, their spouses,
friends and relatives gathered
at cocktail and dinner parties hosted
by Sr. Denise Roche, GNSH.
At each event, the crystalline ring of goblets
being raised and touched together in toasts
was heard around the room
as old memories were shared and
as new memories were created.
