Alumnus Profile

Some college alumni find it hard to leave their college life behind. This is especially true for Bridget Masotti, Benedictine College class of 1987. During the summer of 2012, she returned to her alma mater for her 25^th class reunion.  She is the second of a 3-generation legacy. Her mother attended Mount Saint Scholastica, and her two twin daughters are currently freshmen at Benedictine.

While she was living in Kansas City, Bridget loved staying in touch with fellow colleagues, but after moving to the east coast, she found it difficult. “Since we moved out to the East coast, I haven't so much,” Bridget said. “Thankfully she has Facebook to keep up with her old college friends, even those she hasn’t been in touch with in many years. I've reconnected with so many people through that.  Also, since we knew our twins were going there, Alex and I have really reconnected with the BC community.  It is especially cool knowing that many of the staff at BC went to school with us or were there in one capacity or another when I attended.  I love that about Benedictine that people don't want to leave.” With her two twins now going to Benedictine, freshmen, she’s reconnected with other colleagues who are now staff like President Minnis, and Linda Henry.

While she was studying at Benedictine, Bridget Masotti, formerly Bridget Broker, met Alex Masotti, class of 1985, and they married after college. Since graduation, she has lived in Kansas City, KS; Anderson, SC; Rogersville, TN; Mishawaka, IN; and Greenville, SC. She had five children. Today she is a 4^th grade teacher at International Baccalaureate School in Greenville, SC, which is where she and her family have been living since 1999. Alex is Director of Environmental, Health, and Safety for a division of ABB North America. Her oldest son, Anthony Benedict is getting married in December. Her daughter Megan, 21, graduated from Clemson University in three years, and is living back at home. She is teaching 2^nd grade at Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic School. Her twin daughters Micaela and Rachel are currently freshmen at Benedictine. Her youngest son Dominic is a high school freshman at St. Joseph's Catholic School. “We are happy and thriving and we owe much of that to the foundation that was laid when we attended BC,” Bridget said.
