Becker College Endowment Grants $274,212 to Mount Wachusett Community College’s Veterinary Technology Program

Mount Wachusett Community College (MWCC) is pleased to announce a generous donation of $274,212 from the residual endowment assets of Becker College, which closed its doors in 2021. This donation will support MWCC’s Veterinary Technology Program, which welcomed former Becker College students and acquired equipment when the college closed its veterinary programs.

The financial gift represents a significant commitment to the continued success of MWCC’s Veterinary Technology Program and will help provide vital resources that directly benefit current and future students. Though the exact allocation of the funds has yet to be determined, the donation is expected to contribute to the ongoing enhancement of the program’s quality and support the academic and professional growth of students pursuing careers in veterinary technology.

“We are deeply grateful for this generous donation from the Becker College Endowment,” said Tara Novak, CVT, LATG and Director of Veterinary Technology, Mount Wachusett Community College. “This gift will play a crucial role in ensuring that our students have access to the resources and training they need to succeed in their careers.”

The MWCC Veterinary Technology Program is one of the leading programs in the region, offering students hands-on experience, cutting-edge technology, and a comprehensive education in veterinary care. This donation will continue to build upon the program’s strong foundation and further its mission to provide high-quality education and professional opportunities for students in the field.
