Wicked Local
Anticipating a bright, new semester at Montserrat College of Art
The doom and gloom scenarios bantered about on the demise of colleges and universities in Massachusetts, especially during the past semester when students, faculty, and staff spent inordinate amounts of time dealing with safety during the spread of COVID-19 are vastly overstated locally.
I am proud to report that at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, our community bucked the trend. During a semester when some colleges were corralling students away from crowded gatherings, the Montserrat community stayed vigilant about mask-wearing, hand-washing, social distancing, and remaining focused.
