On this special episode of the Senior Speak, we honor and celebrate the memory of Usha Paropkari, a regular contributor to Senior Speak. Friends and family gather at Worcester State University, Usha's alma mater, to share stories of how they knew her and other fun facts about her, and the lives she touched. Speakers include U.S. Representative Jim McGovern, WSU President Barry M. Maloney, WSU Chief of Staff Carl Herrin, and others. A later-in-life graduate of Worcester State University in the class of 2014, Usha's now honored by WSU with a scholarship fund in her name.
