Alumni Speakers at Career Breakfast March 1, 2022

On Tuesday, March 1, Olivia Nightingale ’08 and Christina Crisostomo ’09 joined as alumni speakers at our last virtual Career Breakfast of this school year and shared their insights in the Social Justice and Advocacy industry with our current students and parents from the Prep and Upper School community.

Olivia shared her career trajectory with us. It’s inspiring to see the impact that she is making with civil political rights and humanitarian response internationally. We particularly liked the advice that she would like to pass onto our current students – say yes, ask for help, disrupt the status quo and rest to avoid burnout. Thank you, Christina, for showing us that advocacy can come in many forms, including corporate responsibility. As Christina encouraged the students – start right now, take advantage of opportunities, align your skills/interests with your passions, take care of yourself, and use your values/passions to guide you both in and outside of work.  No matter what profession our students decide to pursue, these are great tips for everyone to keep in mind.

Thank you to Olivia and Christina for their involvement and support of our school community. All three virtual Career Breakfasts were great successes and featured inspirational alumni speakers.

A quick look through the past 60 years for Founder’s Day 2022! Ms. Daunt and students from each division shared their birthday wishes to our school. From the beginning as a small nursery school and day camp in 1962 to growing to our two campuses, our school community continues to be as connected and supportive as ever. 

Don’t forget to save the date for our 60th-anniversary celebration on September 25, 2022! We will be sharing more details shortly.

“It has been a true privilege to have been a part of the BVGAA Board over the past years. We have come a long way since 2017 and I hope the alumni agree that we have been able to provide significant opportunities for meaningful participation and interactions within our community,” said Christopher Yeretsian ’08, Past President of the BVGAA. “I look forward to witnessing the next chapter and what the astounding talent on the Board will accomplish in the years ahead.”

Sincere thanks to Chris as we would not be here without his long history of contribution and his refounding of the BVGAA Board’s present iteration.
 
Christian has been on the Bayview Glen Alumni Association Board since it was refounded by Chris in 2017, where he served on the Governance and Awards Committees. Christian joined TD Asset Management Inc. (TDAM) in August 2015 and is currently a Vice President and Associate Portfolio Manager on the Asset Allocation Team. Christian graduated from the University of Toronto, where he studied International Relations.
 
Christian’s near-term vision for the Alumni Association is to continue to expand and support the alumni community, even though we are unable to host physical events and reunions at this time. Longer term he would like to build on Bayview Glen’s strong community foundations by increasing alumni mentorship and community engagement. Further, he plans for the Alumni Association Board to be an advocate for diversity, inclusion and equity in the Bayview Glen community at large.
