In recognition of our 55th year as the only technical community college in our Commonwealth, STCC will honor community leaders who have demonstrated resilience and innovative excellence through their work and service within Western Massachusetts. The College will honor entrepreneurs, business, and civic leaders — and STCC alumni — who’ve used their time, treasure, and talent to improve and transform lives, neighborhoods, communities, and the region, while also impacting the Western Massachusetts workforce.
