    Sharing Our Marianist Stories

    In this episode of Sharing Our Marianist Stories, Kelli Kinnear reflects on her professional journey within the Marianist Family, ways she has seen the Marianist charism embodied, and her excitement in her new adventure of working at Bergamo. Listen to this episode to learn more about Kelli and the ways you can engage with and support the work of Bergamo.

    Kelli’s connection with the Marianist Family dates back to her mom’s employment at the University of Dayton. After attending UD and working at Chaminade Julienne High School in Dayton, Ohio, for 32 years, Kelli began her new role as Executive Director of Bergamo Center for Lifelong Learning in late June 2024.
