Massasoit Honors 2025 Employee Achievements

Annual Event Celebrating Service to the College

BROCKTON, Mass (May 16, 2025) Each year, the Human Resources team at Massasoit hosts a Retirement and Recognition event to honor and celebrate our employees and their contributions. Included within the annual event are recognitions of select employees for outstanding achievement in their roles, for their years of services, and for those who have chosen to retire. This year’s celebration was held on May 9.

“We are proud to recognize, acknowledge, and celebrate our retirees, who leave a mark on the College, employees who are nominated by their peers, and those who have dedicated a number of exceptional years of service to Massasoit,” said Bill Mitchell, President of Massasoit. “It is one of my favorite events we do here and congratulations to this year’s honorees.”
