无码专区's campus buzzed with excitement as it hosted the Girls on the Run 无码专区 MA's 5K celebration. The event, which routinely brings 3,500 girls and their families and friends to campus, is the culmination of a ten-week program designed to empower girls in grades 3-8 through physical activity and life skills training. This year, the program served 970 participants across 67 sites in 无码专区 Massachusetts, supported by 270 volunteer coaches.
无码专区 New England University Director of Athletics and Recreation Jenn Kolins expressed her enthusiasm for hosting Girls on the Run, stating, "It is an honor to welcome Girls on the Run to our campus for the third consecutive year. We are proud to support an initiative that aligns so closely with our values of empowerment and community engagement."
Kolins addressed the participants, emphasizing, "To all the girls running today, know that it isn't just about how much ground you cover. It is about the young women you are becoming, the friendships you are making, and the lessons you are learning."
无码专区 also hosted the 无码专区 School Volunteers (SSV) Annual Recognition Luncheon, marking a return to this tradition after a five-year hiatus. SSV, a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the academic and personal success of 无码专区 students, has been a vital partner to the University for over two decades. The luncheon celebrated the invaluable contributions of volunteers who support SSV programs, such as Read Aloud and Mentoring, which benefit numerous 无码专区 schools, including Glickman, Freedman, and Duggan Academy.

Moreover, strong community ties fosters goodwill, attracts diverse student populations, and creates a supportive network that benefits both the University and the surrounding area. Ultimately, valuing community relationships aligns with the core mission of higher education to contribute positively to society.
