June 11, 2018 Darin Gibbons, Esq. Director of Investigations Republican National Committee 310 First St. SE Washington, DC 20003 RE: Public Records Request Dear Mr. Gibbons: Thank you for your recent Public Records Request. The Massachusetts Public Records Law (M.G.L. Chapter 66 & Chapter 4, Section 7(26)) provides that every person has a right to access public information. This right of access includes the right to inspect or be furnished a copy of any public record within ten (10) business days following the receipt of a request. A state agency is only required to provide records that are in existence and is not required to create a new record based on information in its custody to accommodate a specific request. Your request, received on May 25, 2018, for “Any and all correspondence, memos, and records from February 1, 2018 through the fulfillment of this request that mention, reference, or relate to U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren and/or her commencement speech given on May 18, 2018. ” has been fulfilled. Due to the comprehensive nature of your request, approximately 14,000 emails were returned based on your search criteria. In the spirit of your request, we spent the initial 4 hours as required by law pulling all communications between QCC employees and Senator Warren’s Staff, as well as internal communications between the key stakeholders at QCC who were involved in planning/overseeing her visit. Please see the attached PDF transcript of all key communications, and a .zip file of the referenced attachments as applicable. I have also attached a document outlining the estimated fees should you wish that the balance of the emails are reviewed and submitted as applicable. Additional work will begin once payment is received. Sincerely,
Josh Martin Director of Institutional Communications/Records Access Officer

Dear Mr. Gibbons:
The Massachusetts Public Records Law (M.G.L. Chapter 66 & Chapter 4, Section 7(26)) provides that every person has a right to access public information. This right of access includes the right to inspect or be furnished a copy of any public record within ten (10) business days following the receipt of a request. A state agency is only required to provide records that are in existence and is not required to create a new record based on information in its custody to accommodate a specific request. Under some circumstances a state agency may assess a reasonable fee for the production of public records. Permissible charges include, but are not limited to, fees for storage devices or materials, five cents ($0.5) per copy and personnel services. There shall be no fee for personnel services for the first 4 hours of work performed. If more than 4 hours of employee time is required to search for, compile, segregate, redact or reproduce the records requested, a fee may be charged at an hourly rate equal to or less than the hourly rate attributed to the lowest paid employee who has the necessary skill required to complete the record request, which rate shall not exceed twenty-five dollars ($25) per hour. Said fee restrictions may not apply when a request for records is for a commercial purpose as determined by the Commonwealth’s Supervisor of Records.
On May 25, 2018, the College received the attached public records request from you. Upon reviewing this request, the College has prepared the attached reasonable fee estimate in order to comply with your request. Once payment of this fee estimate is received, the College shall complete your request. This is a fee estimate and the actual costs for complying with your request may vary. If the actual costs are less than the estimated fee, a refund will be issued. If the actual costs are greater than the estimated fee, a revised fee estimate will be issued. If you wish to modify your request, please indicate so in writing to the College. If you wish to appeal this estimate or you believe the College has failed to comply with the law, you may file a petition with the Supervisor of Records, Secretary of the Commonwealth, Public Records Division, McCormack Building, One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, MA 02108. You may also seek judicial review by filing a civil action in Suffolk Superior Court. Sincerely,
Josh Martin Director of Institutional Communications/Records Access Officer

You're welcome. I just spoke with Bill Fortier at the Worcester Telegram. He was asking if we'll have any prepared remarks from the Senator to distribute, and/or if she'll be available for media interviews. I've directed him your way.
If you do have prepared remarks, we can add to the press kit we plan on handing out.
Thanks,

I'd appreciate it if you could have media check in with me at 617.340.3610 so we know to expect them. They should also be directed to go through security at the mainentrance of the DCU Center and then proceed to section 110 which is

Thanks for this! Today we will be sending media the senator's official schedule for Friday and the weekend, which includes this commencement. Are there any specific instructions we should provide to media who may wish to cover the event?
Do they need to RSVP for example?
If you receive any specific requests about setting up an interview with the senator,please feel free to direct them to me. In terms of the senator's availability while on site, we are still working to determine that.
Thank you,Matt

Hi Christopher,
Same here. We are all looking forward to Commencement. We have section 110 reserved for press. We expect a handful of print/Web reporters and our local cable station, Charter TV3.
Do you know if Sen. Warren is available for media comments? We have a few outlets interested in speaking with her, but haven't received an official word on her press availability. Based on the current schedule, we have press lined up for
after the event, but nothing is confirmed. If we can nail down timing or availability in the a.m., we can finalize interviews and schedule.

I just spoke with Selina and she had mentioned that you were looking for a security plan? Our operational plan is not given out because of confidential information, however I would be more than happy to answer any question you may have
about the event security. Also I don’t mind sharing what we will do if an emergency happens. Please feel free to contact me at the numbers below.

I'd appreciate it if you could have media check in with me at 617.340.3610 so we know to expect them. They should also be directed to go through security at the mainentrance of the DCU Center and then proceed to section 110 which is

As a side note, we had a student reach out to us because her mother is very ill and she hopes she makes it to her graduation ceremony next week. If it is OK with the Senator, President Pedraja would like to invite the student and her

Hi Everett,
It was a pleasure to meet you last week at the DCU. I am finishing up my operations plan. Could I possibly have your cell phone number and the number of her driver ahead of time? This will be kept confidential. Just in case something

Hi Christopher,
It was great speaking with you this afternoon. Thanks for taking the time to learn about QCC and our community. We are all very excited to hear Senator Warren speak atcommencement.
As promised, here is some additional information about the school.
You can read about and view some photos of the wyvern both in its illustrated and "live" state at http://www.qcc.edu/student-life/wyvern. As the wyvern is the mythical protector of our sister city in Worcester, England, we look at our
graduates as the protectors or guardians of our community. We graduate the nurses, EMT's firefighters and police officers that guard and protect our lives. Anecdotally, just about every hospital, doctor's office, fire or police station,
and ambulance has a QCC graduate working there. It's almost impossible to visit a hospital without encountering a QCC nurse, radiologist, or EMT. We also graduate theengineers, business entrepreneurs, early childhood teachers, auto
techs, and others who "guard" our community by providing the vital services that we rely on. You can view our academic programs at http://www.qcc.edu/academics.
Our marketing campaign is built around "College. Made Smarter". You can view some commercials at http://www.qcc.edu/admissions. We feel it's smarter to attend QCC as you can attend for free by qualifying for financial aid, save up to
$100,000 on a bachelor's degree by starting at QCC and transferring to a 4 yr. college or university, balance your life by attending school on mornings, days, nights, weekends or online and get support from faculty and staff with real
world experience.
Our new President, Dr. Luis Pedraja, joined us in July of 2017 and was formally Inaugurated on April 13, 2018. Dr. Pedraja is the first Latino/Hispanic president toserve at one of the 11 non-profit colleges in Worcester. You can view
his bio at http://www.qcc.edu/about/presidents-message/luis-g-pedrajas-inauguration.
We are also the first community college in MA to offer a Fab Lab (https://vimeo.com/235382219), and a mobile campus/recruiting vehicle, the Wyvernmobile (http://www.qcc.edu/newsletter/2018/02/quinsigamond-community-colleges-
wyvernmobile-takes-roadways).
We have 8 locations across our service area. Our area is roughly North to Leominster, West to the Brookfields, East to I-495/Marlborough/Blackstone Valley, and South to the CT/RI border.
Our main campus is on West Boylston St. in Worcester, and we also have operations inPage 38
Emails with Sen Warren Teamdowntown Worcester (QCC Healthcare and Workforce Development Center) at the Worcester Senior Center (Hospitality and Recreation Management), Burncoat
High School (Automotive Technology) and Worcester Technical High School (HVAC).
In addition to our presence in Worcester, we have satellite locations in Southbridgeand Assabet Valley/Marlborough. We also have an "Internet Learning Cafe" in Whitinsville/Blackstone Valley and are working with the Blackstone Valley
Chamber of Commerce to participate in their Manufacturing Learning Center that is slated to open later this year or in early 2019.
I've attached our Spring 2018 enrollment report which will show you student demographics and most popular programs for both our Worcester main campus and Southbridge location. I've also attached a pdf of two fact sheets that we hand out.
This is in the process of being updated so please forgive some minor discrepancies, but it will give you an idea of some of the main messages we use to highlight the campus.
I think this is everything you were looking for, but if you need more information orclarification on anything, please do not hesitate to ask.
I'll be in touch as soon as I hear from Edward Reitz to set up a time for you both to meet.

Hi Josh,
Christopher Huntley here, Speechwriter for Senator Elizabeth Warren. The senator is excited to attend this year's ceremony and deliver the commencement address to the Class of 2018. Would it be possible to connect by phone today to
discuss any themes QCC may have in mind and a few other details about the campus? I'd also like to speak with Edward Reitz if at all possible to take the temperature of the student body.
If today works I can be reached via email or at my desk 202.228.1008.
Looking forward to connecting,

Hi Everett & Nora,
I have attached our draft program, as we are still working out some final details and speakers. The procession will begin promptly at 1:00pm, and the line of march usually lasts about 20 minutes or so, once all students, faculty and
staff process. We anticipate the entire ceremony to last about 2 hours, with hopes of concluding at 3:00pm (sometimes it lasts 3 hours and 15). Senator Warren is scheduled to speak prior to the awarding of degrees and the procession of
students to the stage. We have several greeters earlier in the line-up who are instructed to speak for 2 minutes each. We then do the awarding of Emeriti, and that in total is about 5 to 10 minutes. My best guess for when the Senator
will speak is approximately 20 to 25 minutes into the program after the procession, so roughly 1:45pm.

Hi Josh,
Christopher Huntley here, Speechwriter for Senator Elizabeth Warren. The senator is excited to attend this year's ceremony and deliver the commencement address to the Class of 2018. Would it be possible to connect by phone today to
discuss any themes QCC may have in mind and a few other details about the campus? I'd also like to speak with Edward Reitz if at all possible to take the temperature of the student body.
If today works I can be reached via email or at my desk 202.228.1008.
Looking forward to connecting,
Christopher

Emails with Sen Warren TeamHi Christopher,
It was great speaking with you this afternoon. Thanks for taking the time to learn about QCC and our community. We are all very excited to hear Senator Warren speak atcommencement.
As promised, here is some additional information about the school.
You can read about and view some photos of the wyvern both in its illustrated and "live" state at http://www.qcc.edu/student-life/wyvern. As the wyvern is the mythical protector of our sister city in Worcester, England, we look at our
graduates as the protectors or guardians of our community. We graduate the nurses, EMT's firefighters and police officers that guard and protect our lives. Anecdotally, just about every hospital, doctor's office, fire or police station,
and ambulance has a QCC graduate working there. It's almost impossible to visit a hospital without encountering a QCC nurse, radiologist, or EMT. We also graduate theengineers, business entrepreneurs, early childhood teachers, auto
techs, and others who "guard" our community by providing the vital services that we rely on. You can view our academic programs at http://www.qcc.edu/academics.
Our marketing campaign is built around "College. Made Smarter". You can view some commercials at http://www.qcc.edu/admissions. We feel it's smarter to attend QCC as you can attend for free by qualifying for financial aid, save up to
$100,000 on a bachelor's degree by starting at QCC and transferring to a 4 yr. college or university, balance your life by attending school on mornings, days, nights, weekends or online and get support from faculty and staff with real
world experience.
Our new President, Dr. Luis Pedraja, joined us in July of 2017 and was formally Inaugurated on April 13, 2018. Dr. Pedraja is the first Latino/Hispanic president toserve at one of the 11 non-profit colleges in Worcester. You can view
his bio at http://www.qcc.edu/about/presidents-message/luis-g-pedrajas-inauguration.
We are also the first community college in MA to offer a Fab Lab (https://vimeo.com/235382219), and a mobile campus/recruiting vehicle, the Wyvernmobile (http://www.qcc.edu/newsletter/2018/02/quinsigamond-community-colleges-
wyvernmobile-takes-roadways).
We have 8 locations across our service area. Our area is roughly North to Leominster, West to the Brookfields, East to I-495/Marlborough/Blackstone Valley, and South to the CT/RI border.
Our main campus is on West Boylston St. in Worcester, and we also have operations indowntown Worcester (QCC Healthcare and Workforce Development Center) at the Worcester Senior Center (Hospitality and Recreation Management), Burncoat
High School (Automotive Technology) and Worcester Technical High School (HVAC).
In addition to our presence in Worcester, we have satellite locations in Southbridgeand Assabet Valley/Marlborough. We also have an "Internet Learning Cafe" in Whitinsville/Blackstone Valley and are working with the Blackstone Valley
Chamber of Commerce to participate in their Manufacturing Learning Center that is slated to open later this year or in early 2019.
I've attached our Spring 2018 enrollment report which will show you student Page 53
Emails with Sen Warren Teamdemographics and most popular programs for both our Worcester main campus and Southbridge location. I've also attached a pdf of two fact sheets that we hand out.
This is in the process of being updated so please forgive some minor discrepancies, but it will give you an idea of some of the main messages we use to highlight the campus.
I think this is everything you were looking for, but if you need more information orclarification on anything, please do not hesitate to ask.
I'll be in touch as soon as I hear from Edward Reitz to set up a time for you both to meet.
Thanks,

It was good to meet you in person last month during our visit with Senator Warren. I enjoyed the discussions and look forward to future opportunities to connect. I am writing to follow-up on a couple of things:
First, Sen. Warren accepted the invitation to be our graduation speaker. Wewere asked to coordinate any public information and announcements with your office. We would like to announce that she will be our graduation speaker
and have reached out to your offices several times to try to coordinate, but have not heard back. Can you direct me to the proper person to coordinate and/or make sure we can announce it? I would appreciate it.

Josh:
It was good to meet you in person last month during our visit with Senator Warren. I enjoyed the discussions and look forward to future opportunities to connect. I am writing to follow-up on a couple of things:
First, Sen. Warren accepted the invitation to be our graduation speaker. Wewere asked to coordinate any public information and announcements with your office. We would like to announce that she will be our graduation speaker
and have reached out to your offices several times to try to coordinate, but have not heard back. Can you direct me to the proper person to coordinate and/or make sure we can announce it? I would appreciate it.

Second, I will be in D.C. April 16-17 participating in Excelencia’s Presidents for Latino Student Success Summit. I am the only president from Massachusetts invited to the summit, given my involvement with Presidents for Latino
Student Success. When I spoke with the organizers, I suggested they invite Sen. Warren and/or you to attend. I realize Sen. Warren’s schedule is busy, but if she cannot make it, it might be beneficial for you to attend. Regardless, I
wanted to make sure you were aware of the meeting. I have copied the information onthe meetings to which we invited legislators below:
Capitol Hill Reception
April 16, 5:30-7:30pm, Rayburn Building Gold Room
FOCUS: This reception will introduce members of Congress and their staff, higher education policy and research organizations and Latino advocacy organizationsto the 2018 Presidents for Latino Student Success. There will be a
short program. In my remarks I will emphasize this group is comprised of institutional leaders who have committed to making their institutions learning environments where Latino students thrive.
Latinos in College: Closing the Graduation Gap
National briefing presented by The Hill sponsored by Excelencia in Educationand Gallup
April 17, 8:00-10:30am, The Gallup Building, 901 F Street, NW, Washington, DC 20004

college degrees. Excelencia will highlight its new analysis on Latino college completion and the role of Presidents for Latino Student Success.

Josh:
It was good to meet you in person last month during our visit with Senator Warren. I enjoyed the discussions and look forward to future opportunities to connect. I amwriting to follow-up on a couple of things:
First, Sen. Warren accepted the invitation to be our graduation speaker. We were asked to coordinate any public information and announcements with your office. We would like to announce that she will be our graduation speaker and have
reached out to your offices several times to try to coordinate, but have not heard back. Can you direct me to the proper person to coordinate and/or make sure we can announce it? I would appreciate it.
Second, I will be in D.C. April 16-17 participating in Excelencia’s Presidents for Latino Student Success Summit. I am the only president from Massachusetts invited to the summit, given my involvement with Presidents for Latino Student
Success. When I spoke with the organizers, I suggested they invite Sen. Warren and/or you to attend. I realize Sen. Warren’s schedule is busy, but if she cannot make it, it might be beneficial for you to attend. Regardless, I wanted
to make sure you were aware of the meeting. I have copied the information on the meetings to which we invited legislators below:

FOCUS: This reception will introduce members of Congress and their staff, higher education policy and research organizations and Latino advocacy organizations to the2018 Presidents for Latino Student Success. There will be a short
program. In my remarks I will emphasize this group is comprised of institutional leaders who have committed to making their institutions learning environments where Latino students thrive.

to make sure you were aware of the meeting. I have copied the information on the meetings to which we invited legislators below:

It was good to meet you in person last month during our visit with Senator Warren. I enjoyed the discussions and look forward to future opportunities to connect. I amwriting to follow-up on a couple of things:
First, Sen. Warren accepted the invitation to be our graduation speaker. We were asked to coordinate any public information and announcements with your office. We would like to announce that she will be our graduation speaker and have
reached out to your offices several times to try to coordinate, but have not heard back. Can you direct me to the proper person to coordinate and/or make sure we can announce it? I would appreciate it.

Emails with Sen Warren Team
I am following up to the initial request by QCC President Pedraja inviting Senator Warren to speak at QCC’s Commencement this coming May 18th. I know at the time of the request, her schedule for 2018 had not yet begun being prepared,
but I am hoping you may have a better idea at this point of her availability. The event is scheduled for 1pm at the DCU Center in Worcester on Friday, May 18, 2018.
Again, we thank you for the Senator’s consideration of speaking at QCC’s Commencement.

Hi Nora,
Thank you for getting back to me about President Pedraja’s invitation to Senator Warren. We understand it is early out, but we are appreciative of you considering our request once her 2018 schedule begins to form. Typically we begin
planning our Commencement in January and prepare for it right up to the day of the event. When it comes to speakers, we will have time in January or February to seek out another speaker if Senator Warren is unavailable, so for now we
will just hold and wait to hear from you when you have a better idea of Senator Warren’s schedule for next year.

Greetings,
On a recent trip back to Massachusetts from Chicago, Quinsigamond Community College had 4 faculty members who were returning from a training and had the pleasure of sitting behind Senator Warren on their flight. Near the end of the
flight they had a very pleasant conversation with her and Senator Warren noted she has been the commencement speaker at 13 of the 15 community college commencement ceremonies. We have not been lucky enough to have her speak at one of
our commencements yet, so we would be honored if Senator Warren would consider speaking at our next Commencement. Our ceremony is scheduled for Friday, May 18, 2018 at 1:00pm at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA.
Our new President, Dr. Luis Pedraja would be honored to have Senator Warren be a part of his first Commencement.
Thank you for considering our request and I look forward to hearing from you. I have attached a photo of the Senator and our faculty after their flight together earlier this summer.

Hi Selina- I think this was a great ceremony for many reasons but particularly because it was shorter than 2017. It would be nice to have some food for volunteersif the budget allows for it. I prefer the 1 pm time and did not have any problems with parking. Senator Warren’s presence and address was very special----it begs thequestion of how next year’s speaker will measure up J
Congratulations to you for a wonderful commencement!

To all Commencement Committee Members, Volunteers and Staff:
On behalf of Commencement Chair Lillian Ortiz and myself we want to thank you for your participation in this year’s Commencement Ceremony! The event would not happen without the help and support of all of you!
As we do every year after Commencement, we are seeking your feedback.
Please let me us know specifically what you noticed could have been done better. We understand there were glitches with parking, which is out of our control, but we will address this with the DCU Center for the future. How did you like the new timeof 1:00pm? Would you like to see Commencement continue to be held at 1:00pm or do you prefer 4:00pm as we did in the past? Did you have enough volunteers in your area or could you have used more help?
Please send to me, by Friday, June 1st, any comments & suggestions so we can record them now while the event is still fresh in our minds. We will schedule an event wrap up in early June with all Commencement Committee members.
Thank you again,
Selina Boria

On behalf of Commencement Chair Lillian Ortiz and myself we want to thank you for your participation in this year’s Commencement Ceremony! The event would not happen without the help and support of all of you!
As we do every year after Commencement, we are seeking your feedback.
Please let me us know specifically what you noticed could have been done better. We understand there were glitches with parking, which is out of our control, but we will address this with the DCU Center for the future. How did you like the new timeof 1:00pm? Would you like to see Commencement continue to be held at 1:00pm or do you prefer 4:00pm as we did in the past? Did you have enough volunteers in your area or could you have used more help?
Please send to me, by Friday, June 1st, any comments & suggestions so we can record them now while the event is still fresh in our minds. We will schedule an event wrap up in early June with all Commencement Committee members.

Thanks for passing along that wonderful compliment from Gail, and I'm sure you are performing the same service for Dr Pedraja!
It's a great job, isn't it?
Retirement is great, too, but I do miss you and the QCC gang. I'm off to Scotland and Ireland on Monday (and I'm not ready). Maybe lunch when I come back?
Don't write back -- you're busy! Have a great day!

I think these are the final details on Commencement. Let me know if I missed anything or you have any questions:
Parking: If you would like your parking validated, park in the Major Taylor Parking Garage (the garage that Mezcal is in). Bring your ticket to David Shapiro in South Hall. He’ll have info on how to get your release ticket to leave the garage.
Enter the DCU through door 5 and go through security. You will get a ticket/badge tohang on any bags you may have with you. Please try not to leave bags unattended in public areas. If you do put down your bag, please be sure the security ticket is visible. Backpacks are not allowed, but messenger bags/briefcases/handbags/etc. are.
Backdrop (slight change from yesterday’s meeting): The backdrop will be initially set up in the Press Room/Platform Party Robing Area. Time permitting, Sen. Warren will stop by and take photos with members of the platform party. During the ceremony, we will move the backdrop to Locker Room 6, where we will direct any mediaor other photo requests for when commencement is over.
Badges: I either handed you or left an “Event Staff” badge on your chair. Please wear this at all times when in the DCU Center.
Photos/video: John and Hillarie will take candids of grads/faculty/staff in South Hall. Hillarie will take the lead on photos in the Press Room/Platform Party Robing Area. Hillarie will take snaps of Sen. Warren entering the arena, and will photograph speakers before switching to take candids of grads sitting in arena. Leonwill video the event, and take stills of the speakers from his platform. Gina will take some video of students in the tunnel for Facebook Live; and will post pics on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram.
Media: All media should be directed to section 110. They need to go through securitylike everyone else. Please alert Karen or myself if you see any
Page 10
RNC PRRreporters/photographers/videographers.
Safety: If you see anything out of sorts or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact a QCC or WPD police officer. I also have the number of the MEMA Mobile Command Center, and will have a radio to connect with police or volunteers.
Programs: Unfortunately, errors happen. If a student or faculty member notifies you of an error or misspelling in the program book or elsewhere, please be as sensitive and understanding as possible. We will gladly update or correct our electronic document, and can arrange for the student or his/her family to purchase a corrected book from Minuteman Press.
Commencement is the most important thing we do all year, and graduating from a degree or certificate program is an accomplishment that we should be proud to celebrate with our students. Commencement should be all about them. Let’s do our best to capture the moments that they will remember for the rest of their lives.
Thanks,
Josh

Importance: High
Good afternoon Josh,
I have also left a voicemail so I apologize if this is a redundant matter. The DCU Center got back to me and confirmed that they will be able to provide an audio feed to Elizabeth Warren’s camera crew. They have also confirmed that they are in the process of setting up platforms for us per Selina’s request, so her stationary camera operator should have the space they need. In addition, they have also confirmed that they will be able to split audio feeds from their mixer into three different boxes that themselves split into 8. In total there should be about 24 total slots for the feed, including for myself and Elizabeth Warren’s camera operator.
Thank you, please let us know if you have any further questions!

Based on the current schedule, we have press lined up for after the event, but nothing is confirmed. If we can nail down timing or availability in the a.m., we can finalize interviews and schedule.
Thanks,

RNC PRRThank you, as of now my previous questions have been answered, thank you! We do, however have additional questions in regards to set up. We have recently received word from Elizabeth Warren’s team in terms of further technical requirements. Theirstaff has indicated that they will be bringing two additional cameras: one roaming and one stationary. Your team may have already been reached out to by one of our staff, Selina Boria, in regards to securing a camera platform for their stationary camera. Our question is in regards to the audio feed from your sound board.
We were wondering if the DCU Center could provide a second audio feed to their stationary camera as well as the one that’s already set up for QCC’s. Please confirm with us as soon as possible. Additionally, we were wondering how many additional audio feeds the DCU Center is capable of providing. This is presently unconfirmed, but additional media personnel may also be present from other stations. In the event that they also attend, do you know how many additional lines we could provide them?
Thank you, please let us know when you can!

Good morning Veronica,
This is Leon Granados, reaching out to you on behalf of Quinsigamond Community College. We have a question for you regarding the upcoming QCC Commencement Ceremony next Friday. Our team is preparing some graphics that we would like to show on the scoreboard prior to the commencement ceremonies. It would mainly consist of various photographs we are putting together that would display like a PowerPoint presentation. The images would stay on screen for a few seconds before transitioning to the next slide. This is something we have done the past few years,and previously we had brought the images in on a flash drive. We were wondering if there is an opportunity for us to visit the DCU Center and test them on the screens prior to commencement day. Is there a time where we would come in next week? This would ideally occur Wednesday afternoon, though Thursday works as well.
Thank you, please let us know when you have an opportunity!

I just got off the phone with Sen. Warren's digital media team. They are bringing 2 video cameras. One needs to be on a platform; the other will be roaming. They also need to pull an audio feed, either to the camera or to a zoom recorder.
Leon, can you find out how many outputs they have on their mixer? Warren's team needs at least one, but it's still unclear if they are doing a press invite. If media shows, they will likely want to plug into the mixer as well.

Selina, can we find out if DCU has another platform, or can extend the 2 existing platforms if multiple networks plan on showing? If they do bring video, they'll likely want to be closer than section 110, and need more room to set up.

Dear QCC Family,
Attached is the information for QCC’s Commencement with a few edits. Please note that no outside food or beverage will be permitted into the DCU Center or South Hall. Last year, several people were asked to dump or finish their large iced coffee or bottle of water before entering and we would hate for people to waste their money. If someone has a medical issue that requires a special food or drink accommodation, please let security know when you enter.
We understand that the majority of faculty and staff will either be walking at Commencement or working the event, but for those not planning to attend, the Collegewill be open on the day of Commencement and you are expected to work your regular work day. However, we understand many offices may be closed on campus since all their staff will be down at the DCU Center.
The Commencement Committee is looking forward to a wonderful celebration!

Hi Nora and Everett,
Below is a message that went out to all members of our Platform Party. I attached adocument which includes all individuals who will be on the Platform and in the PressRoom prior to the ceremony. Please let me know if you need any additional information or have any questions.
As a side note, we had a student reach out to us because her mother is very ill and she hopes she makes it to her graduation ceremony next week. If it is OK with the Senator, President Pedraja would like to invite the student and her mother back to take a photo with him and Senator Warren prior to the ceremony. Please let me know if you foresee any issues with this.

Hi Gail,
I wanted to let you know that I sent the message below to all returning Emeriti who will be leading in the procession of faculty and staff with you. You are more than welcome to enter through Door 5 – the normal door that the Platform Party enters through. I will be sure your name is on that list.
We are looking forward to another great Commencement. And guess what – Senator Chandler is finally attending one! We got word last evening that she will be coming.
Looking forward to seeing you at the Retirement Reception and Commencement next week.

Dear Ms. Alden-Burns,
Dean Woods forwarded your request to the President’s Office for consideration. As much as we wish we could honor your request of having your mother come on stage and hand you your diploma, it is not something we are able to accommodate. We have over600 students who receive their diplomas that day and we do have several students whoare in a similar situation, making it difficult to only allow this for one student.

RNC PRR
However, President Pedraja has invited you and your mother to meet with him prior tothe ceremony to take a picture with him and potentially Senator Warren. Your mothercould come to check-in in the South Hall with you and I can meet you there to bring you to the area in which the President and Senator will be located.
Please let me know if you would like to meet ahead of time to take this picture andI will make arrangements.
You can reach me at 508-854-4368 or by email [email protected].

Hello Dean,
I am graduating this may from QCC. During my last year here at Quinsigamond Community College I have struggled however I didn't allow my academics to be affected. My mother, a strong beautiful soul was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. Even with her battle with this terrible disease, she managed to help me succeed here at QCC. Her cancer is aggressive and she was unfortunately not responding to chemo therapy. Her one wish is to see me earn my degree. After being given 2 months (3 months ago live, she is looking forward to sharing the special day with me. I want to show her my appreciation and gratitude for all she's done for me.I was hoping she could hand me my degree. I know it's last minute, but didn't want to wonder what if had I not asked. I understand that commencement has been planned

Senator Elizabeth Warren to speak at Quinsigamond Community College Commencement
WORCESTER, MA—April 6, 2018—U.S. Senior Senator Elizabeth Warren will give the keynote address at Quinsigamond Community College’s 53rd Commencement.
Senator Warren has made it her life’s work to fight for middle class families and has made higher education reform one of her top priorities. As one of the most visible figures in national politics today, Senator Warren has been relentless in working to be the voice of the people. She is recognized as one of the nation's top experts on bankruptcy and the financial pressures facing middle class families.
Senator Warren has served as Chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), and through her direct initiatives, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created. Senator Warren was also instrumental in introducing the Accreditation Reform and Enhanced Accountability Actof 2016 (AREAA). The legislation is designed to take steps to reduce student debt and protect students and taxpayers by reforming higher education accreditation and strengthening the Education Department's ability to hold accreditors accountable. The Senator has also proposed a bill with Senator Bernie Sanders, The College for All Act, which would enable students to attend most public universities for free.
Senator Warren has received many accolades over the years including being named one of the Most Influential Lawyers of the Decade by National Law Journal; honored by the Massachusetts Women's Bar Association with the Lelia J. Robinson Award and was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world three times by TIME Magazine.
“Senator Warren has a clear vision of the roles that community colleges play in the Page 43
RNC PRReconomic prosperity of our students and our communities, said QCC President Dr. LuisG. Pedraja. “She will serve as a strong foundation for our ceremony. We are sure herwords will inspire and motivate our graduates to continue achieving great heights asthey leave QCC and fulfill their dreams.”
The college’s Commencement will take place on May 18, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. in the DCU Center in Worcester.

Hi Everett & Nora,
I have attached our draft program, as we are still working out some final details and speakers. The procession will begin promptly at 1:00pm, and the line of march usually lasts about 20 minutes or so, once all students, faculty and staff process. We anticipate the entire ceremony to last about 2 hours, with hopes of concluding at3:00pm (sometimes it lasts 3 hours and 15). Senator Warren is scheduled to speak prior to the awarding of degrees and the procession of students to the stage. We have several greeters earlier in the line-up who are instructed to speak for 2 minutes each. We then do the awarding of Emeriti, and that in total is about 5 to 10 minutes. My best guess for when the Senator will speak is approximately 20 to 25minutes into the program after the procession, so roughly 1:45pm.
Please let me know if you need any other details about the Ceremony.
Thank you,

The ceremony is May 18th at 1:00pm at the DCU Center.
If you do not have graduation regalia, let me know ASAP so that it can be ordered. Also, if you cannot do this performance, let me know.
We may add to the group a few singers who couldn't make it for the inauguration. If that is the case, we may rehearse a time or two before the ceremony. Otherwise, plan on having only a sound check rehearsal on May 18.

Hi Shari,
Wow, hard to believe Commencement is just around the corner again. I am reaching out to you about final details for QCC’s Ceremony on May 18th and to schedule some walk-throughs and sound checks. If we could schedule a walk though on Friday, May 11th around 1 or 2pm – we would like to come as a group to discuss the layout in theSouth Hall, as well as needs as far as tables, pipe and drapery for separating the room, and stantions to separate students during their line of march. In addition, our campus police have also requested some time to meet with you about security since we will be having Senator Warren speaking at our Commencement. They would like to meet about 2 weeks before the ceremony, so maybe May 4th or a day or time convenient for you around then.
Lastly, can we schedule a final walk through, if possible, on Thursday, May 17th. We would like to bring our Student Marshals over to see the set-up and walk them through their roles.
I also want to order some refreshments for the Platform Party room, can you please send me the contact information of who to contact for this order.
Thank you and I am looking forward to working with you again this year,

Josh:
It was good to meet you in person last month during our visit with Senator Warren. I enjoyed the discussions and look forward to future opportunities to connect. I am writing to follow-up on a couple of things:
First, Sen. Warren accepted the invitation to be our graduation speaker. Wewere asked to coordinate any public information and announcements with your office. We would like to announce that she will be our graduation speaker and have reached out to your offices several times to try to coordinate, but have not heard back. Can you direct me to the proper person to coordinate and/or make sure we can announce it? I would appreciate it.
Second, I will be in D.C. April 16-17 participating in Excelencia’s Presidents for Latino Student Success Summit. I am the only president from Massachusetts invited to the summit, given my involvement with Presidents for LatinoStudent Success. When I spoke with the organizers, I suggested they invite Sen. Warren and/or you to attend. I realize Sen. Warren’s schedule is busy, but if she

Senator Elizabeth Warren to speak at Quinsigamond Community College Commencement
WORCESTER, MA—April 6, 2018—U.S. Senior Senator Elizabeth Warren will give the keynote address at Quinsigamond Community College’s 53rd Commencement.
Senator Warren has made it her life’s work to fight for middle class families and has made higher education reform one of her top priorities. As one of the most visible figures in national politics today, Senator Warren has been relentless in working to be the voice of the people. She is recognized as one of the nation's top experts on bankruptcy and the financial pressures facing middle class families.
Senator Warren has served as Chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), and through her direct initiatives, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created. Senator Warren was also instrumental in introducing the Accreditation Reform and Enhanced Accountability Actof 2016 (AREAA). The legislation is designed to take steps to reduce student debt and protect students and taxpayers by reforming higher education accreditation and strengthening the Education Department's ability to hold accreditors accountable. The Senator has also proposed a bill with Senator Bernie Sanders, The College for All Act, which would enable students to attend most public universities for free.
Senator Warren has received many accolades over the years including being named one of the Most Influential Lawyers of the Decade by National Law Journal; honored by the Massachusetts Women's Bar Association with the Lelia J. Robinson Award and was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world three times by TIME Magazine.
“Senator Warren has a clear vision of the roles that community colleges play in the economic prosperity of our students and our communities, said QCC President Dr. LuisG. Pedraja. “She will serve as a strong foundation for our ceremony. We are sure herwords will inspire and motivate our graduates to continue achieving great heights asthey leave QCC and fulfill their dreams.”

Senator Warren has made it her life’s work to fight for middle class families and has made higher education reform one of her top priorities. As one of the most visible figures in national politics today, Senator Warren has been relentless in working to be the voice of the people. She is recognized as one of the nation's top experts on bankruptcy and the financial pressures facing middle class families.
Senator Warren has served as Chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), and through her direct initiatives, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created. Senator Warren was also instrumental in introducing the Accreditation Reform and Enhanced Accountability Actof 2016 (AREAA). The legislation is designed to take steps to reduce student debt and protect students and taxpayers by reforming higher education accreditation and strengthening the Education Department's ability to hold accreditors accountable. The Senator has also proposed a bill with Senator Bernie Sanders, The College for All Act, which would enable students to attend most public universities for free.
Senator Warren has received many accolades over the years including being named one of the Most Influential Lawyers of the Decade by National Law Journal; honored by the Massachusetts Women's Bar Association with the Lelia J. Robinson Award and was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world three times by TIME Magazine.
“Senator Warren has a clear vision of the roles that community colleges play in the economic prosperity of our students and our communities, said QCC President Dr. LuisG. Pedraja. “She will serve as a strong foundation for our ceremony. We are sure herwords will inspire and motivate our graduates to continue achieving great heights asthey leave QCC and fulfill their dreams.”
The college’s Commencement will take place on May 18, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. in the DCU Center in Worcester.

Josh:
It was good to meet you in person last month during our visit with Senator Warren. I enjoyed the discussions and look forward to future opportunities to connect. I am writing to follow-up on a couple of things:
First, Sen. Warren accepted the invitation to be our graduation speaker. Wewere asked to coordinate any public information and announcements with your office. We would like to announce that she will be our graduation speaker and have reached out to your offices several times to try to coordinate, but have not heard back. Can you direct me to the proper person to coordinate and/or make sure we can announce it? I would appreciate it.
Second, I will be in D.C. April 16-17 participating in Excelencia’s Presidents for Latino Student Success Summit. I am the only president from Massachusetts invited to the summit, given my involvement with Presidents for LatinoStudent Success. When I spoke with the organizers, I suggested they invite Sen. Warren and/or you to attend. I realize Sen. Warren’s schedule is busy, but if she cannot make it, it might be beneficial for you to attend. Regardless, I wanted to make sure you were aware of the meeting. I have copied the information on the meetings to which we invited legislators below:
Capitol Hill Reception
April 16, 5:30-7:30pm, Rayburn Building Gold Room
FOCUS: This reception will introduce members of Congress and their staff, higher education policy and research organizations and Latino advocacy organizationsto the 2018 Presidents for Latino Student Success. There will be a short program. Inmy remarks I will emphasize this group is comprised of institutional leaders who have committed to making their institutions learning environments where Latino students thrive.
Latinos in College: Closing the Graduation Gap
National briefing presented by The Hill sponsored by Excelencia in Educationand Gallup
April 17, 8:00-10:30am, The Gallup Building, 901 F Street, NW, Washington, DC 20004
FOCUS: A bi-partisan discussion with members of Congress and institutional leaders about the challenges and progress nationally, in states and within institutions to increase the proportion of Latino students graduating with college degrees. Excelencia will highlight its new analysis on Latino college completion andthe role of Presidents for Latino Student Success.

Josh:
It was good to meet you in person last month during our visit with Senator Warren. I enjoyed the discussions and look forward to future opportunities to connect. I amwriting to follow-up on a couple of things:
First, Sen. Warren accepted the invitation to be our graduation speaker. We were asked to coordinate any public information and announcements with your office. We would like to announce that she will be our graduation speaker and have reached out to your offices several times to try to coordinate, but have not heard back. Can you direct me to the proper person to coordinate and/or make sure we can announce it? I would appreciate it.
Second, I will be in D.C. April 16-17 participating in Excelencia’s Presidents for Latino Student Success Summit. I am the only president from Massachusetts invited to the summit, given my involvement with Presidents for Latino Student Success. When I spoke with the organizers, I suggested they invite Sen. Warren and/or you to attend. I realize Sen. Warren’s schedule is busy, but if she cannot make it, it might be beneficial for you to attend. Regardless, I wanted to make sure you were aware of the meeting. I have copied the information on the meetings to which we invited legislators below:

Senator Elizabeth Warren Quinsigamond Community College Commencement Address
President Pedraja, faculty, alumni, friends, family and graduates. I’m honored to be here with you today at Quinsigamond Community College home of the beloved Wyverns! Thank you President Pedraja for inviting me to address this year’s ceremony. This is President Pedraja’s first commencement here at Quinsig -- congratulations on a job well done. I know what you’re thinking---if Elizabeth is here today with us, how will she ever make it over to Windsor Castle in time for the Royal wedding? It’s okay—there’s a Southwest flight that leave in 2 hours. 17 stops but it’s cheap. To the graduates of the Class of 2018 you did it. Classes are over, papers are finished – or not –exams are done, you’ve made it to the finish line. Congratulations! I think it’s safe to say that none of you would be here today without the love and support you received from your family, friends and loved ones. They stood by your side through thick and thin. The late nights, early mornings, the endless cash app transfers—all of it. So, let’s take a moment to say thank you.
2
And we certainly cannot forget the faculty and staff who helped get you across the finish line. Let’s hear it for all the educators here at Quinsig! I went to a commuter school a lot like this one, so I know that you’re leaving campus with a quality education that will help you take the world by storm. Here’s to Quinsigamond! But I suspect I’ve been invited today to make sure that you leave with one more small addition to that quality education, so here’s my offering. Later today when you’re celebrating with family and friends, they will give you all kinds of career advice. Here’s one thing to add to the list – a piece of advice that, down the line, may save your life, your career or even your marriage—so listen up. Delete every college photo you’ve ever taken. I’m serious. No matter how well behaved you’ve been, nothing good can ever come of them, trust me. And here’s another piece of advice: save embarrassing photos you’ve taken of other people. You never know when they may be running against you for the Senate – it could make the difference. OK, seriously, I do have one piece of advice I want to share with you as you move into the next chapter of your life: democracy depends on you.
3
Now I know that sounds like something you’d hear on a cable news panel just before you drift off to sleep, but I’m serious. At this moment in history, our democracy is in crisis. And it’s up to us to save it. Our democracy was founded on the ideals of liberty, equality and justice for all. And a host of laws, rules, standards and traditions have made America the land of opportunity. I know the value of that opportunity first hand. When I graduated from a commuter college like this one, I didn’t say to myself “United States Senate, here I come”. My principal feeling at the time was celebration. I didn’t have another 40 years to go to hit my dream. I had already arrived—and it had been a hard road to get there. From the time I was in second grade, I wanted to be a teacher. [Can we hear it for any teachers in the group? Teachers rock!] But for me to be a teacher, I needed to go to college, and my family had no money for college. Besides, my mother didn’t think I should go to college—I was supposed find a husband and raise some kids. I had a different plan. I was a high school debater, got a full scholarship to college, so off I went.
4
When I turned 19 the first boy I ever dated parachuted back into my life and asked me to marry him. So, what did I do? The most logical and sensible thing – I said yes—gave up my scholarship, dropped out of school and marched down the aisle. That was the 1968 version of swiping right. I dropped out of college, but I hadn’t given up the dream of becoming a teacher. And a commuter college –one that cost $50 a semester – was my second chance. Yeah, take a deep breath and think about that price tag: $50. I found a school I could pay for on a part-time waitressing job, and I held on for dear life. I eventually scraped together enough credits to graduate. The process wasn’t easy, it was full of ups and downs and sideways slides, but because this was my chance to do something I was deeply passionate about. You might say, I persisted. My story has a lot more twists and turns: Moving. Babies. Law School. Divorce. Remarriage. A ten-year-long fight—1995-2005—against credit card companies that tricked people. A fight to build a consumer financial protection bureau to protect American families and stick it to the banks. And then, the first woman elected from Massachusetts to serve in the U.S. Senate.
5
It’s been an amazing journey, but it all started with my chance to earn the diploma that you are about to pick up. I got my $50 second chance at a commuter college because I grew up in a time when America invested a lot more in its kids. America—our government, our democracy—made in a priority to invest in kids who are trying to get an education. I’m deeply grateful for that opportunity. I believe that one part of democracy should be about helping people get a chance to build something valuable. I’m deeply frustrated that our government—not just this administration, but our government over the past 40 years—has shifted more and more of the cost of an education over to the students. And I have to be honest with you, it happens because in Washington and in state houses across the country, money talks, and the voices of students are not as loud as the voices of CEOs and billionaires. Our democracy is under siege. Right now, the integrity of our democratic institutions is being eroded at a break neck pace. Our regulatory agencies have been hijacked by giant corporations. The free and open press endures daily attacks. The rule of law is questioned from the highest office in the land.
6
I’ll give you just one example that is especially relevant today: The Department of Education, the Department that is supposed to look out for students, the Department that hires the companies that administer your student loans, has been loaded up with lobbyists and executives who make their money shilling for the phony schools and high-profit student loan companies. The Department of Education is helping make investors rich—while you, the students, will pay and pay and pay. This is wrong, and it would not be happening if democracy were actually serving the people, and not just the rich and powerful. OK, that’s heavy, heavy for a graduation speech and really heavy for a group that was up partying late, late last night. Yes, it’s heavy, but hear this: I’m hopeful. I’m hopeful because of you. Yes, money talks, but only so long as millions of Americans remain silent. When we use our voices together, we are louder—and more powerful—than any force in this country. And that’s why I’m hopeful: Even as the rich and powerful tighten their hold on our democratic institutions – democracy is changing. And you are helping lead the change.
7
In the last year, I’ve had 27 town halls across the Commonwealth and the number one question I’ve gotten is: how can I get involved? How can I make my voice heard? In the fights over health care and immigration and net neutrality—and yes, student loans, how can I make this democracy represent me? How can I make this government deliver on the promise of America? Democracy is changing. It’s not the democracy of big money. It’s not the democracy of party bosses. This democracy is powered by the people. This democracy is led by women wearing pussy hats and carrying hand-made signs who organized the largest march in the history of the world. This democracy is led by the people who flooded every airport terminal across this country and said, “America cannot—and will not—ban Muslims.”
8
This democracy is led by the scientists who marched in their lab coats, the scientists who are working with real urgency to use science to save us from climate change and global destruction. This democracy is led by people with disabilities who stormed the halls of Congress during the health care debates to put a human face on Medicaid. This democracy is led by Dreamers who are as American as you and me and deserve a chance to dream. This democracy is led by 15 year-olds and 16 year-olds who’ve said “enough is enough. Kids are dying in schools, on their way to school, in their homes and on their front steps.” And this democracy is led by you, Class of 2018. This democracy depends on you. Make no mistake – we’re a diverse nation. Just look around you. The stories and backgrounds of the people at this ceremony are as diverse as they come. But even with all of our differences, there is so much we have in common. So much we have to figure out together. So much that we can’t manage alone.
9
Rising health care costs, climate change, the cost of college, reforming our criminal justice system – all of these issues affect our future. And here’s the truth – every single step we take further into cynicism – retreating into our corners, digging in with suspicion and resentment – is another step away from solving the problems that are threatening to destroy our democracy. Whether Quinsig is the first stop on your journey – or the beginning of your second chance - jump into the fight to save our democracy. We need your voices. We need your perspectives. We need your experience. Democracy depends on you. So get in the fight, Class of 2018. If you don’t know how to start I’ll give you three suggestions:
First, join a group. Groups make us stronger and help us organize. Second, don’t just talk with people who agree with you. Talk to
that cranky uncle of yours or the new office mate who’s obsessed with conspiracy theories. Yes, the two of you may disagree, but talk—and, more importantly, listen. That’s how we’ll begin building solutions.
Third, show up. Protest. Rally. Organize. Stand with those who share your values. Stand—and fight alongside them.
10
Use your voice, use your energy, use your determination – use whatever you have to move this country forward. America gave me a chance, and I’m grateful down to my toes. I ran for the Senate because I want the next Quinsig kid to have that same chance. To grow up in an America full of possibilities. That is the true promise of our democracy. It’s a promise worth fighting for. And I’m in this fight with you all the way. So here’s to the Class of 2018! You are the future of America. I’m honored to fight alongside you. Let’s make change. Thank you!

Senator Elizabeth Warren to speak at Quinsigamond Community College
Commencement WORCESTER, MA—April 4, 2018—U.S. Senior Senator Elizabeth Warren will give the keynote address at Quinsigamond Community College’s 53rd Commencement. Senator Warren has made it her life’s work to fight for middle class families and has made higher education reform one of her top priorities. As one of the most visible figures in national politics today, Senator Warren has been relentless in working to be the voice of the people. She is recognized as one of the nation's top experts on bankruptcy and the financial pressures facing middle class families. Senator Warren has served as Chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), and through her direct initiatives, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created. Senator Warren was also instrumental in introducing the Accreditation Reform and Enhanced Accountability Act of 2016 (AREAA). The legislation is designed to take steps to reduce student debt and protect students and taxpayers by reforming higher education accreditation and strengthening the Education Department's (ED) ability to hold accreditors accountable. The Senator has also proposed a bill with Senator Bernie Sanders, The College for All Act, which would enable students to attend most public universities for free. Senator Warren has received many accolades over the years including being named one of the Most Influential Lawyers of the Decade by National Law Journal; honored by the Massachusetts Women's Bar Association with the Lelia J. Robinson Award and was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world three times by TIME Magazine. “Senator Warren has a clear vision of the roles that community colleges play in the economic prosperity of our students and our communities, said QCC President Dr. Luis G. Pedraja. “She will serve as a strong foundation for our ceremony. We are sure her words will inspire and motivate our graduates to continue achieving great heights as they leave QCC and fulfill their dreams.” The college’s Commencement will take place on May 18, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. in the DCU Center in Worcester.
