PULSE Program

1981 Alumni

Kerry A. Maloney:
" After graduating from Boston College, I worked for several years in one of the program's placements, Southwest Boston Senior Services. Ultimately, that position led me to my work as a protective services social worker under a contract with the Massachusetts Department of Elder Affairs. In addition to social work, I continued my academic interests in theology, comparative religious studies, and psychological and spiritual development. After seminary, I was ordained a minister in the United Church of Christ. From 1985-1996, I worked as a chaplain at Boston College, where I had the privilege of founding and directing the 4BOSTON program, a descendant of PULSE, which continues to flourish under the find direction of my successor and the student staff. Since 1996, I have served as the College Chaplain at Bates College in Maine (that other "B.C." a bit to the north of Chestnut Hill), where I have had the opportunity to continue on a smaller scale some of the work PULSE inspired me to do more than twenty years ago. I will forever be grateful for all that I learned -- and all whom I met -- under the auspices of PULSE." kmaloney@bates.edu

Marybeth Turpin Belsito:
"I practiced social work from 1981-1987, primarily with the adolescent population. I then transitioned to medical public relations in 1988. I worked with multiple companies from 1988-1998, then started my own company in May 1998. We're doing great!
