Bloomingdale Resident Receives Dominican University Outstanding Alumna Award

Bridget Wolter Cortina, a resident of Bloomingdale, has been honored with Dominican University’s Brennan School of Business’ Outstanding Alumna Award. The award is presented annually to a graduate of the Brennan School of Business who demonstrates a spirit of service and professional integrity.

A double Dominican alumna, Cortina received her bachelor’s degree in 1979 and her master’s in business education in 1982. Always ready to offer her expertise, advice and support to the business school, she currently holds a position on the Brennan School of Business alumni advisory council. She has arranged internships for students hoping to pursue careers in banking, acted as a guest lecturer for finance courses, judged student research competitions, and most recently arranged a visit with JP Morgan Chase in Buenos Aires for students on a study abroad trip. She consistently serves as a mentor for Dominican students looking for professional guidance and career advice.

Cortina has worked in the banking industry for over 25 years. She is the managing director of Chase Investment Services Corporation, a division of Chase Bank.

Founded in 1901, Dominican University is a comprehensive, coeducational Catholic institution offering bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Dominican offers 50 undergraduate academic programs in the Rosary College of Arts and Sciences and 15 graduate programs through the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, the Brennan School of Business, the School of Education, the Graduate School of Social Work, and the School of Leadership and Continuing Studies. In the 2008 issue of America’s Best Colleges, U.S. News & World Report again ranked Dominican University in the top tier of Midwest master’s level universities and as a “best value” for the tenth consecutive year.
