The goal of the Student Affairs-led program is to help the campus become a community in which all members thrive. The Simeon J. Fortin Charitable Trust of Worcester, established after the death of the longtime Worcester grocer, supports grants that target faculty and students involved in cancer research. Six students receive summer research stipends to work with biology and chemistry faculty on cancer research projects.
Funds are also available for supplies and student travel to professional meetings.
The William Randolph Hearst Foundations awarded the College a grant to establish the William Randolph Hearst Scholarship Endowment.
