Merrimack Names Volunteer of the Year

Arleen (Potvin) Bradley of Lawrence was recently honored as the Merrimack College Volunteer of the Year.  A 1994 graduate of the College, Bradley was nominated for her work in organizing Pressed for Success, a group of over 95 unemployed men and women (alumni, parents, and others from the Merrimack Valley), many of whom gather weekly on the Merrimack campus for networking and mutual support. 

“I was honored and humbled when receiving the Volunteer of the Year Award,” said Bradley. “I looked around the room and saw the many others who are so deserving of recognition.” 

Bradley was one of 102 volunteers who were recognized for their service to Merrimack College at the first volunteer recognition appreciation dinner organized by the Office of Alumni and Constituent Relations at Merrimack. The volunteers, who helped fill wide-spread needs from helping to recruit new students, to stuffing invitations for alumni events, come from as close as North Andover (23 volunteers) and Andover (18 volunteers), to as far away as Illinois.
