Senator John Kerry joined President Grant and members of the Berkshire Compact for Higher Education for today’s meeting. Here is a quick photo blog entry. Several local television and radio stations covered the event, as did journalists from the North Adams Transcript, The Berkshire Eagle and I-Berkshires.

What is the Berkshire Compact for Higher Education?

“The Berkshire Compact for Higher Education was established to assess the emerging, increasingly collaborative economy which calls for skills and educational levels different from earlier times. Businesses compete in a global arena, and workers must be able to think critically and adapt to changing situations and rapidly changing technologies. The Compact focuses upon what this community must do educationally to transition successfully to this new century, to this new economy. We are convinced that our success is rooted in a strong educational continuum that encourages and rewards innovation, raises aspirations, ensures access, values lifelong learning, and takes advantage of the power of technology.

The Compact has reviewed the challenges, opportunities, and barriers that we face. We have used new and existing research to arrive at our conclusions; most importantly, we have identified four major goals whose achievement will ensure a bright and promising future for Berkshire County. Our hope is that the new doors of opportunity will be opened, or widened through these efforts.”
