Our public higher ed campuses all across the state, like MCLA, can benefit from the BRIGHT Act. On top of helping improve our campuses and keep our public higher ed graduates in Massachusetts the BRIGHT Act will also create plenty of jobs along the way!

Obviously, I had to stop and get some art while at MASS MoCA!

75% of our public higher education graduates stay here in our state — and I’m one of them! Had a great time today at MCLA and getting to chat with Allie!

The arts and culture have so much of an impact on our communities — especially here in Western Mass! The creative sector brings people together to celebrate the human in all of us, and it’s an industry that deserves its own attention and investments!

When a parent, child or sibling serves in the military, the whole family serves together. And when they make the ultimate sacrifice, it’s our responsibility to serve their loved ones as well as they have served us.
