Annually, our students contribute more than 150,000 hours of volunteer work. We leverage grants to support many community programs, and our on-campus educational and leadership-development programs serve hundreds of local children.”
Nominating the college was the law firm of Cooley, Shrair, P.C., counsel to the college. Nominees are private institutions or companies with revenues of at least $1 million in the last fiscal year and which are based in Hampden or Hampshire counties or are ACCGS members.
