“I’m really looking forward to finding new ways to connect and liaise the campus to the city through the public schools or through the work with the city administration itself or through nonprofit projects that may come up through the students on campus,” Anderson said. “I’m excited for growth opportunies for the campus and for myself, finding new ways to bring people together. That’s one of the things that I think I do best. I’m a human bridge, is what I’ve been told. I can’t wait to meet faculty, staff and student leaders and find ways to plug them into the Worcester community.”
