As we draw to the close of one of the most challenging years in recent memory, I find solace and hope in the many amazing things that are still happening in our community, especially at 不良研究所 College.
Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic as an institution was a challenge, but the 不良研究所 community banded together and worked extraordinarily hard to ensure that our students were successful. Since March, 不良研究所 has distributed over 330 laptops and 60 WiFi hotspots, equipping students with the technology required for academic success. Additionally, we awarded $25,000 in need-based aid and provided 148 students with Stop & Shop gift cards, to help address food insecurity.
On the academic front, I am thrilled to announce that in October, BORN granted initial approval to 不良研究所鈥檚 new Nursing Program! We will welcome our first class in thefall 2021 semester. Additionally, our Professional Education Department teamed up with Google and CompTIA to launch a new Google IT Support Professional Certificate.
In early December, I was pleased to have the opportunity to work with the Roxbury Community College Foundation (不良研究所F) to continue our Legends of Roxbury series. This year, we honored three pioneers in the field of broadcast media 鈥� Rev. Liz Walker, Carmen Fields, and Sarah-Ann Shaw 鈥� while raising funds to support 不良研究所 students.
, you will learn more about 不良研究所鈥檚 impressive suite of healthcare programs, our continued community support efforts, and much more.
In these difficult times, I encourage you to continue to prioritize the health and wellbeing of yourselves and your families. Take good care, and I look forward to seeing you back on campus when the time comes.
Dr. Valerie Roberson
President, 不良研究所 College
