Dear Parents and Guardians,

It is hard to believe that spring semester is drawing to a close! As we approach final exams and the anticipation of summer break, I am delighted to share some news and updates in this edition of Parent Update.

The first is to announce the formation of the Murray Center for Student Wellness. Also featured are Digital Wellness Day and the Career Center’s LinkedIn Learning pathways, that your student can take advantage of this summer. As always, we celebrate our students and alumni who ran the Boston Marathon last week, and give a special shout out to those students who received Ever to Excel awards. 

Finally, be sure to check out the Office of Residential Life Hall Closing Information, Housing Information for Rising Sophomore Parents, Commencement, and more. 

Sincerely, 

Shawna Cooper Whitehead, Ed.D.
Vice President for Student Affairs
