BOSTON – Governor Charlie Baker today appointed new members of the boards of trustees at Framingham State University and Worcester State University.

“We are focused on creating and supporting regional strategies to solve our most difficult challenges, and our institutions of higher education play a central role in making these efforts a success,” said Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito. “Our colleges and universities play a central role in helping to improve education at all levels, and I thank these individuals for stepping forward to serve.”
“I look forward to working with all trustees as we strive to bring the higher education system in Massachusetts to the next level,” said Education Secretary Jim Peyser. “I thank all of the outgoing trustees for their service and contributions to the Commonwealth.”
