Radiology Designated Fund

Past Graduates and Future Graduates,

As graduates and present students you all know the price of education today. The economy has hit current students hard and financial aid packages and scholarship monies have dwindled over the years.

Massasoit Community College has given you the opportunity to receive a good education and to be gainfully employed in the profession of radiology. Maybe you were rewarded a radiology scholarship through either the Radiology Designated Fund, the Kayla Richards Fund, the MSRT organization or received a financial aid package from the federal government or the state of Massachusetts to help you pay for your education. Many of you worked a job while going through the program to fund your education as well. Times were and still are difficult for students!

By contributing to the Radiology Designated Fund you could help a current radiology student by defraying the costs of his/her vocation. If you wish to donate you can do so by sending a check to me or to the college's Scholarship chairperson. A check as little as $10.00 by 10 graduates would become a $100. scholarship! A check for $20.00 by 20 graduates could become two $200.00 scholarships and so on. All contributors will be recognized on the blogger page for their donations.

Challenge members of your class to meet your donation! I challenge each class to become the class with the highest donation. I also challenge any graduate to meet my donation of $100.00 to this fund!

Make your check payable to "MCC Radiology Designated Fund"and send your check to;

Hello and Welcome to the Massasoit Community College Blog,

If you are reading this you are either a student currently enrolled in the radiology program or a graduate of the program. The idea of a radiology blog came from a member of the program’s Advisory Board as a response to my question" how can I make graduates of the program aware that there is a scholarship fund for current students to which they can donate to? She said that a blog might be the answer if I can get the word out to former students that the program now has a blog page.

Now some of you may remember that I wasn’t always comfortable with the computer technology in the classroom so how am I going to maintain the page! I can insure you that I have progressed, somewhat, but for this page I can thank James Lynch from the college’s IT department for showing me how to set up a blog page.

On this page I will be posting information that I received as to job opportunities, web sites of interest, pictures of pinning ceremonies, information as to program changes, seminars for CE credits, and if I get real creative maybe a fun item.

Check out the OIDA link under "Continuing Education" for free CE credits form the ARRT!

So if you have anything that you want posted on the page please e-mail me the information at nsutcliffe@massasoit.mass.edu

Sincerely,

Nancy
