Mount Wachusett Community College (MWCC) welcomes two new members to its Board of Trustees: Rozanna Penney, President and CEO of Heywood Healthcare, and Beckett Caisse, a dedicated MWCC student who will serve as the college’s Student Trustee.
“We are thrilled to welcome Rozanna Penney and Beckett Caisse to our Board of Trustees,” said MWCC President James Vander Hooven. “Rozanna’s depth of experience in healthcare and community leadership, combined with Beckett’s perspective as an engaged and thoughtful student, will enrich the board’s ability to guide the college forward in meaningful and inclusive ways.”
Rozanna Penney brings extensive leadership experience in healthcare and regional collaboration. As President and CEO of Heywood Healthcare, she has been instrumental in navigating the organization through significant challenges while strengthening community health partnerships.
“I am honored to join the MWCC Board,” said Penney. “Mount Wachusett Community College plays a vital role in shaping the future of our region, and I look forward to working alongside my fellow trustees to support students, faculty, and staff in achieving their goals.”
Also joining the board is Beckett Caisse, who was introduced as the incoming Student Trustee during MWCC’s recent Commencement ceremony. The student trustee is a representative of the student body, elected annually by the student body, who serves on the board of trustees and helps make important decisions, including those related to budget and personnel, which impact students and the college community.
As a passionate and active student voice, Caisse will represent the student body and bring valuable insight into the academic and campus life experience.
“It’s an honor to represent my peers on the Board of Trustees,” said Caisse. “I’m excited to contribute to conversations and decisions that impact student success and the overall direction of the college.”
The Mount Wachusett Community College Board of Trustees is comprised of an alumni, an elected student representative, and community business leaders who have demonstrated a deep level of commitment to the College.
