JULY SPONSOR OF ROTARY BULLETIN WMAS FM 94.7 ( http://www.947wmas.com) is the July sponsor* of our Rotary Bulletin. If you see Craig Swimm or Emma Gilbert please thank them for their support. We are hopeful they will become a Corporate Member soon!
*Would you like to sponsor the Rotary Bulletin? It’s easy AND cost efficient. For $100 you get your logo, web site and a short sentence or tag line. Not bad for 4 (or 5!!!) weeks of advertising. But act fast as we have already sold July, Aug, Sept, Oct AND Nov! Contact Sue M. for more info or to sign up! THIS FRIDAY Jesse Lederman, pre-admissions advisor and recruitment coordinator serving Hampden County for The University Without Walls (UWW) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, CT will address the Springfield Rotary Club's luncheon meeting this Friday, July 20th.
UWW is an academic major at the UMass Amherst designed to help adults complete their first bachelor’s degrees at a world-class public university. Through UWW, students can create their own programs of study, take all online, blended, or on-campus courses that fit into their busy lives, and bring in or earn up to 105 credits for their prior coursework, prior learning and work and life experience.
Lederman will work out of the UMass Center at Springfield to provide support and advising to adults looking to complete their bachelor’s degrees through UMass Amherst.
Lederman, a lifelong resident of Springfield, Mass., was born and raised in the McKnight Neighborhood in the city’s Mason Square area. He is a graduate of the Springfield public schools and went on to attend the George Washington University and UMass Amherst where he earned a bachelor’s degree in political science. In addition to working with UWW, Jesse serves as an At-Large member of the Springfield City Council, and is active in various political, non-profit, and community groups throughout Massachusetts.
