The Massasoit Community College Police Department would like to inform our College Community
about the changes to security at this year’s Commencement:
As a result of the tragedies in Boston and Newtown, CT, the Massasoit Police Department has made
numerous enhancements to the level of security for this year’s Commencement. Some of these
enhancements shall include, but are not limited to; additional police presence, thorough security
inspections of all involved areas, establishing limited points of entry, and prohibiting large bags,
backpacks, and containers from entering the Commencement area.
We ask that you share with your guests our request for cooperation and consideration as we work
together to make your Commencement safe, secure, and a celebration for all to enjoy.
Again, large bags, backpacks, and containers will NOT be allowed into the immediate Commencement
area. Members of the community requesting access with the aforementioned items will be directed to
voluntarily return the items to their vehicle or be denied access to the event.
Please contact the Massasoit Community College Police Department if you or your guests have any
questions regarding this policy at (508)588-9100 extension 1041

Massasoit student Yin Wang Earns Prestigious Award
Massasoit student Yin Wang Earns Prestigious Award
The Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship makes it possible for the nation’s top community college students to
complete their bachelor’s degrees by transferring to a four-year college or university. One of the most
generous and competitive programs of its kind - the Foundation provides up to $30,000 for up to three
years to deserving students selected annually, making it the largest private scholarship for two-year
and community college transfer students in the country. This is a highly selective scholarship; this year
the Foundation received 769 nominations from 377 community colleges in 45 states and the District of
Columbia. Massasoit Community College student Yin Wang of Randolph is one of the final 73 selected.
Yin is originally from Burma, now known as Myanmar, in South East Asia. Yin’s parents immigrated to
the United States, followed by her sister, and finally a decade later Yin was able to join them. Following
in her sister’s footsteps, Yin enrolled at Massasoit as an English as Second Language (ESL) student
due to not speaking any English. She immersed herself in her studies, learning the language, working
full-time in a restaurant and part-time as a personal care attendant on the weekends to achieve her
goals. “Yin Wang has embraced the opportunities available at Massasoit Community College; she is a
hard-worker and represents the best of the best. She has overcome language and cultural barriers and
is an energetic, intelligent, high-achieving student who deserves the chance to pursue her academic
dreams,” states Dr. Charles Wall, President of Massasoit Community College.
