Michelle Downey received the Graduate Student Leadership Award at our 2018 spring graduate commencement. Michelle's path to Fitchburg State began when she worked in academic publishing sales for 15 years and worked with professors on how to best meet their needs. From her sales background, she had the benefit of getting to work with professors from colleges all over the state. Michelle chose Fitchburg State because of the professors she met here.
"They advocate for their students, help foster relationships with colleagues and, ultimately, led me to fall in love with teaching," she said.
Earlier this year Michelle obtained her first full-time teaching job and looks forward to continuing her new career path in Special Education, Moderate Disabilities. She lives in North Andover with her husband, Brian, and their 7-year-old twins.

Ranee’ Maree’ Wright received the Graduate Student Leadership Award at our 2017 winter commencement. Ranee’ has worked in health care for 14 years and thrives on challenges.
