Shrewsbury native and Nichols College alumnus commits $100,000 to support presidential initiatives
DUDLEY, Mass. – David Bedard, a 1986 graduate of Nichols College, has committed $100,000 to support strategies designed to increase the prominence of Nichols regionally and nationally, a priority of Nichols President Glenn M. Sulmasy, JD, LL.M.
“We are on a path toward cementing our reputation within and beyond New England as a career-oriented college focused on unparalleled experiential learning opportunities and a vibrant campus culture,” said President Sulmasy. “The contribution from the Bedards will underwrite initiatives aimed on elevating and promoting our brand, and we are immensely grateful.”
A Shrewsbury, Mass., native, Bedard is a former senior vice president at New York Life Investments Group. Now retired, he resides in Florida with his wife Ellen, a 1987 graduate of Nichols. He has been a member of the Nichols College Board of Trustees since 2011 and currently chairs the Audit Committee.
“Nichols holds a special place in Ellen’s and my hearts, and we are delighted to assist in sharing the history, success and amazing story that is Nichols College,” said Bedard.
