The transition from local high school student to Fitchburg State Falcon began last Tuesday.
For 75 seniors from neighboring high schools, the Accepted Student Visit Day offered more than just a campus tour at Fitchburg State University—it was a chance to dive into the sights, sounds, and academic opportunities waiting for them right in their own backyard.
“Your hard work, persistence, and potential have brought you to this moment,” said Fitchburg State President Donna Hodge, who addressed students from Fitchburg High, Goodrich Academy, Sizer School and St. Bernard’s in Hammond Hall’s Main Lounge. “You are here today because you have already proven that you possess the talent and drive to succeed at the collegiate level. It is my distinct honor to invite you to join a community that doesn't just recognize your potential—we are investing in it, and we are investing in you.”
The Fitchburg Promise is a new direct admissions initiative for Fitchburg residents. Launched by President Hodge in September during her State of the University address, the program aims to broaden opportunities for students across the city. Read more here.
