Last week, President Donna Hodge and Fitchburg State University Police Chief Michael Cloutier wrapped up a days-long emergency management training on campus attended by university administrators and staff as well as representatives from the city’s police and fire departments by handing out giftbags as a token of their appreciation.
“This week’s joint training exercise is just one example of the partnership in action, and the productive relationship that we have worked to foster,” Cloutier said. “I would like to thank our partners at Fitchburg Fire and Fitchburg Police for their openness to this collaboration. I can assure you, this does not happen everywhere.”
The training event provided the perfect opportunity for Fitchburg State University President Donna Hodge and Fitchburg Mayor Sam Squailia to sign a new memorandum of understanding geared toward reciprocal support in times of emergency.
