JCC Program Review
Bernier,
Carr & Associates is proud to support Jefferson
Community College in many ways. Recently, Mark B.
Kimball, P.E. and Kelly
E. Reinhardt participated in the five year review of the
Engineering
and Business Programs, respectively. The five year
review of the programs is very valuable to the
Departments as they update their courses to better fit
the employers needs for potential new hires. We enjoyed
being able to assist the College as they grow and meet
their strategic goals for the next five years.

Bernier, Carr and Associates created this
holiday tree containing 365 children’s books in

The Children’s Clinic takes special pride in
providing each patient a new, age appropriate
book at their annual exam. This program promotes
early literacy, school readiness and allows for
family bonding. Bernier, Carr is proud to
support the Children’s Clinic in their mission
to open the doors to all by promoting early
literacy amongst their patients.
