“We knew that MassReconnect would be transformative for thousands of students, for our amazing community colleges, and for our economy – and that was only the beginning. This universal free community college program will continue to transform opportunities for students and strengthen our workforce. Massachusetts’ community colleges are economic drivers, helping students move ahead in their careers and meeting the needs of our employers. We’re grateful to Senate President Spilka, Speaker Mariano and all of our partners in the Legislature for working with us to create this nation-leading program.”
