What Current Employees Have to Say

Director of Transportation

Steve Green

"What really cemented Bryn Mawr as a home for me was maybe a couple days after I took the position. I was walking through Merion Green and Pat McPherson, the president at the time, walked up to me and said, “Hi Steve! You know, I’m really glad that you took the position here at the College, and I hope that your music will stay an important part of your life as your work here at Bryn Mawr College.” And it just made me feel so welcome that she knew who I was. And you know, I’ve been here for a long time, and I still play music."

"The world is in the age of the so-called second quantum revolution and I am thrilled that Bryn Mawr faculty and students will have the opportunities to make a significant impact with the support of this grant. Among all of this excitement, we wouldn’t be here today without strong institutional support. It means a lot to see the College so invested in our work."

"I strongly believe that to ensure student success, institutions must seek to effectively serve the whole student both in and outside of the classroom. This can’t be achieved without a strong collaborative culture that involves our faculty, academic affairs, and student affairs colleagues. I hope our department can contribute to that type of culture, a culture that recognizes collaboration as a fluid process characterized by trust and shared decision-making and one that is truly integrative in its effort to contribute toward holistic student learning."

“The campus itself continues to be one of my favorite parts of Bryn Mawr. I become inured to the beauty and splendor of our buildings and grounds, and then I have an occasion to show someone new around campus, and I get to see it with fresh eyes again and remember what a privilege it is to work at such a magnificent place.”
