]) A Pioneering AlulTIna Gives Back to Emmanuel

Terry Downing Bertinuson '43 ]

When Teresalee "Terry" Downing Bertinuson first arrived on Emmanuel's campus in 1939, she planned to major in English-a traditional course of study for women in those days. She emerged from the Coll ege four years later, however, with a very non-traditional degree in chemistry under her belt. It was a choice that helped her carve out a niche as an environmental leader during a ixteen-year tenure in the Connecticut Legislature.

As she looks back, Terry acknowledges the important role Emmanuel played in shaping the course of her life. She is especia ll y grateful for the influence of one particular Emmanuel teacher who kindled her interest in science.

"Everybody has a special teacher whom they remember. For me, it was Sister Mary John Hoye, SND, my chemistry teacher. "She was a wonderful teacher and a wonderful person. It was because of her that I majored in chemistry. It has been very helpful in my life."

After graduation in 1943, Terry, a native of Wakefield, Massachusetts, worked as a control chemist at Eastern Gas & Fuel in Everett, Massachusetts. With men leaving technical jobs to serve in World War II, Terry's Emmanuel education enabled her to help fill the nation's need for qualified scientists. She eventually en listed in the U.S. Army herself, where she trained as a physical therapist. Later, she earned a Master's Degree in Chemistry from the University of Denver.

In the intervening years, Terry and her husband Torvald raised six children. She also became active in local politics in East Wind or, Connecti cut, where they settled, serving on her town's Board of Education and the Democratic Town Committee. In 1973, she was elected to the Connecticut House of Representatives, where she served from 1974-1990. She chaired the Legislature's Environment Committee, and during her final term was deputy majority leader-the highest ranking woman in the House at that time.

"Emmanuel has always produced women who gO far in their careers."

"That was a very exciting time. It was a time when a lot of us were becoming concerned about what was happening in the environment," Terry recalls. Under her leadership, the Environment Committee helped secure the passage of Connecticut's bottle bill, as well as bills regulating low-level radioactive waste and hazardous waste management, and legislation creating a long-range water resources protection plan.
