Judy Bernier

Operations Coordinator

I have been with the Fleishman Career and Professional Development Center since January 2018 and have held a number of roles during my time here.  My first position was the Experiential Education Assistant for the CDCI Program.  My responsibilities ranged from building class sections to vetting internship sites and supervisors to registering students and administering evaluations, always with the goal of making it an impactful experience for students.  I then moved on to be the Employer Engagement and Outreach Assistant.  My responsibilities included managing employer relationships to find and create employment opportunities for Binghamton students.  My current role at the Center is the Operations Coordinator.  My goal is to ensure that the Fleishman Center runs efficiently and seamlessly as possible.  To that end, I ensure that Professional staff have what they need in order to be able to offer the best services possible to Binghamton students seeking our guidance and assistance.

What is your favorite thing about working at Binghamton University?
Coming from a background of business and government, I enjoy being around the students that are just beginning on their journeys.

What was your first internship or job?
My first internship was with the NYC District Attorney’s Office

What are you passionate about?
Outside of work, the law, and the Supreme Court, in particular, have always interested me. Over the years I have collected rather old as well as contemporary law books and follow the Court’s rulings.

What is your best piece of career or professional advice?
Making connections and networking are key, even if it doesn’t seem to at that moment. Those connections can open opportunities, months, even years later.
