“We are thrilled to celebrate our second annual Framingham Family Fest right on our new campus as we complete our first entire academic year here at our 490 Franklin Street location,” said event co-organizer and MassBay Executive Director of Corporate Partnerships, Workforce Development and Community Education Colleen Coffey. “This is one of our favorite events at MassBay because all are welcome- we open the doors to all families and community members to listen to music, dance, eat and create art together all while we explore our exciting career programs in healthcare, human services, early childhood, automotive and more.”

 

“Visitors from our hospital and emergency services partners keep telling us our labs feature the latest technology and equipment in the field – it’s thrilling to know that our students are getting so well prepared for success in their chosen professions,” said event co-organizer and MassBay Associate Dean for Admissions Alison McCarty. “MassBay’s Early Childhood program is the largest in the state, and our Behavioral Health Certificate is a wonderful new offering from our Human Services department.
