The report, now in its third year, includes a broad spectrum of performance measures and goals, established by the Board in collaboration with the 24 state and community colleges, to address strategic objectives for public higher education. The University of Massachusetts prepares a separate accountability report for its five campuses located in Amherst, Boston, Dartmouth, Lowell and Worcester. Because of their status as specialty institutions, Massachusetts College of Art and Massachusetts Maritime Academy also prepare separate reports. Public Higher Education in Massachusetts Overall, we are seeing growing evidence of the system’s relevance to Massachusetts residents. In this state, where there are many educational options, more Massachusetts high school graduates are choosing public higher education. The percent of Massachusetts high school graduates who opted to stay here has increased from 63% in fall 1996 to 68% in fall 2004, an increase of 5,464 Massachusetts students. Last year, 280,000 Massachusetts residents attended our public colleges or University campuses, comprising 92% of undergraduate student enrollment and 72% of graduate student enrollment in the public system.

EEA solicited Excellence in Energy and Environmental Education Award nominations in early 2017. Schools and organizations that voluntarily incorporate environmental education into public or private school curricula are given priority. “The initiatives we are recognizing today range from garden projects and outdoor classroom programs, to watershed and vernal pool projects, to teaching about the environment through art and music,” said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Beaton.
