“I’m honored and excited to serve in this role for Questar III BOCES and the school districts of Columbia, Greene, and Rensselaer counties,” said Radewitz. “We have an outstanding, collaborative communications staff. I’m eager to continue growing our communications efforts while supporting the Questar III mission of ‘changing lives, realizing dreams, and doing together what can’t be done alone.’”
With over 15 years of communications experience, Radewitz is also an award-winning journalist. He started his professional career at the Register-Star and The Daily Mail newspapers and served as a publications manager for hibu. He attended the Taconic Hills Central School District before earning a bachelor’s degree from St. John’s University. He currently resides in Greene County.
