CONGRATULATIONS to the

MCO 2019 Contributor of Distinction

William Hart Massachusetts Community Colleges Executive Office MCO Fiscal Agent Bunker Hill Community College

Bill Hart has been a tireless advocate and friend to Massachusetts Colleges Online, working with State Education Commissioners Freeland and Santiago. Bill helped at the state level to earn respect and awareness of MCO and all that it has achieved.

He was instrumental in helping garner support amongst the college presidents for securing funding through the Guided Pathways to STEM grant, which allowed MCO to update their student portal website.

This student portal website allows state community colleges and universities to share their convenient and flexible online courses, programs, and degrees with students throughout the state and beyond their borders.

Students can explore the site and learn how Mass Colleges Online can help them begin or continue their higher education, improve their job skills, and expand their opportunities.
