Students in our Upward Bound program are taking "hands-on learning" to a whole new level.

Fitchburg State University hosted its annual Retired Educators Luncheon on Wednesday in the Falcon Hub, a tradition established in 2011 that honors alumni who have dedicated their lives to the teaching profession. The event serves as a powerful homecoming for the university, celebrating its historic roots as a teachers' college originally founded in 1894. 

During his internship at Fitchburg Access Television last semester, Communications Media student Aiden Truehart created an incredible historical series called Fitchburg Rewind.

From its construction in the 1970s and its evolution into a Fitchburg State University staple, to the packed hockey games and roaring concert days that made it a local landmark—this building has been the backdrop for countless community memories. Watch the full episode created by Aiden here.

 Protecting, serving, and thriving right alongside our community!  Today is #PublicServiceDay, and we want to send a massive shoutout to the incredible officers and staff of the Fitchburg State University Police Department! Our campus police are so much more than a department—they are a deeply integral part of our daily university life. From keeping our campus secure to connecting with students, offering guidance, and always being ready to jump into campus activities (even if it means braving the mechanical bull at a campus event! ), they show up for our flock every single day with professionalism and pride. Thank you to our dedicated officers, dispatchers, and staff for your unwavering commitment to our safety, your mentorship, and your constant support of student life. 

Setting the foundation for academic success and timely graduation. During Fitchburg State University's Summer Orientation sessions, incoming students connect directly with Academic Advisors within their prospective majors. This proactive advising model is designed to facilitate a seamless transition into higher education. By meeting with department experts early, our newest Falcons gain a clear understanding of their unique degree pathways, map out critical foundational benchmarks, and finalize their Fall course schedules with confidence. Thank you to our dedicated faculty and academic advisors for guiding the Class of 2030 toward a strong start this semester!
