Mount Wachusett Community College and Sentinel & Enterprise Honor "Unsung Heroes"
Mount Wachusett Community College and the Sentinel & Enterprise have joined forces to recognize the region’s “unsung heroes.” For three years the partnership has recognized individuals and organizations who have worked to better their communities. “We were honored to recognize our first group of 11 unsung heroes last April and look forward to the initiative again this year," said MWCC President Daniel M. Asquino. “Our hope is to give credit to those who have never sought the spotlight and who have made our cities and towns better places to work and live.”
“The Sentinel & Enterprise received a great deal of positive feedback last year,” said Publisher Asa Cole. “We have the ability to reach the communities we serve through the newspaper, and Mount Wachusett Community College has embraced community service through its Decade of Civic Engagement initiative. This partnership is a perfect fit that we hope will continue for years to come.”
Unsung hero honorees have been profiled in the Sentinel and Enterprise and have been honored at "Celebrations of Unsung Heroes" at Mount Wachusett Community College.
