Dear Colleagues:

 

I am delighted to tell you that we have almost 80 founding signers of the Commonwealth Compact and nearly 300 RSVP's to attend the launch next week CommonwealthCompact

I do hope you can join us. I think this will be an extraordinary event for our campus, and hopefully for Massachusetts as well.
