On this episode of the Chandler Chat, host Harriette Chandler welcomes Barry M. Maloney, President of Worcester State University for 15 years, to discuss a new 30 million dollar 'Believe in Beyond Campaign' focused on supporting students, scientific and medical research and maintaining and strengthening Worcester's and Central MA's workforce. They speak on how shifting demographics and a raising skepticism of higher ed has affected enrollment, student retention, and a commitment to supporting Latino students to meet the population's need for education. They speak on the many programs and partnerships with other colleges, from nursing, education and business, to a new partnership with WPI for engineering students. Finally, they discuss future plans of the University in experiential learning, with hands-on experience with community partners that help prepare students for careers and life skills that will serve them after graduating.
