These professors are joined by a skilled team of adjunct faculty, which includes

Michael Donoghue

Mike is in his 22nd year (2006-07) as an adjunct professor at St. Michael's and also serves as an academic advisor, mostly to transfer students in the department.  He is a fulltime staff writer for The Burlington Free Press, Vermont's largest newspaper and is in charge of its newsroom intern program. Mike's desire to teach journalism comes from a career filled with a deep interest in helping future journalists. At the College Mike has taught a variety of courses, including: Mass Communications and Society, Media Law and Ethics, Practicum and Advanced Reporting.  He is a frequent speaker at training sessions, schools and other public gatherings.  He has presented at the Vermont Press Association, New England Press Association, New England Society of Newspapers Editors, Investigative Reporters and Editors.  He also is called upon to meet with international journalists passing through Vermont and was one of four Americans invited to speak in Ireland at a national conference after the passing of that country’s Freedom of Information Act.

Mike, during his two terms as president of the Vermont Press Association, was instrumental in getting the association anchored at St. Michael’s and with getting cameras into Vermont courtrooms.   Mike is currently the Executive Director of the VPA, which helps provide leads on jobs, internships, scholarships and more to students, while also hosting seminars and speakers.  He served two terms on the board of the New England Press Association and chaired three committees: publications, legislative and outreach.  Mike is currently on the Newspaper Leadership Council of the National Newspaper Association.   Mike was elected in 2003 to the Board of Directors for the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association and served two terms as president of the Vermont Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association.  He also served three terms on the Board of Trustees at Southern Vermont College.   Mike has won countless awards for his work at the local, state regional and national level.  He was inducted into the inaugural class of the New England Press Association’s Hall of Fame (2000) and in the inaugural class of the Heroes of the 50 States Hall of Fame, founded in 2003 by the Society of Professional Journalists and the National Freedom of Information Coalition.  He lives with his wife, Ann Marie in South Burlington.

Paul J. Beique
Paul, a 1987 journalism graduate of St. Michael's College, enjoys teaching at the College because the classes are small and the close-knit community gives students an opportunity to have hands-on learning experiences. Currently, Paul is an assistant news editor for The Burlington Free Press, where he had been an intern during college. In his spare time he enjoys sailing.

Kevin J. Kelley
Kevin J. Kelley has worked since 1990 as United States/United Nations correspondent for Kenya's Nation Media Group. He also serves as U.S. correspondent for Gulf Business, a monthly magazine published in the United Arab Emirates.

Kelley's other work as a journalist includes stringer assignments in Vermont for The New York Times and Reuters as well as regular contributions to Vermont Business Magazine and SevenDays, a weekly published in Burlington. Kelley is the author of The Longest War: Northern Ireland and

the IRA (Zed Press, 1987).

He has taught part-time at St. Michael's since 1992 in the Journalism and English departments as well as in the college's master's degree program. He lives on a farm in Orwell, Vt., with his partner Diane, a butter maker, and their two children, Alexandra and Liam.
