MCLA, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, North Adams, MA.

"MCLA not only gave me a great education in the classroom, it also gave me a chance to learn outside of the classroom. Whether it was on the baseball field, in the community, or working with different clubs and organizations MCLA gave me the chance to grow as a person. I use both my classroom and non-classroom education every day that I’m at work. I have to learn in every situation that presents itself, day after day. The meetings I attend are just like the small classroom settings at MCLA and allow me to feel comfortable. I prepare for those meetings just like I did for a test or a baseball practice. MCLA made me a better person. I feel more confident as a person with my MCLA degree."

HAZING

As required by Chapter 536 of the Acts of 1985, "An Act Prohibiting the Practice of Hazing", the Board of Regents has promulgated hazing reporting regulations for all Colleges in Massachusetts. Each College is required to issue a copy of the Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 269, Sections 17, 18, and 19 to every team or organization under its authority and to every member, plebe, pledge, or applicant for membership.

Every College must also obtain an acknowledgment of receipt from a captain of every team or organization under its authority stating that all members in the organization have received a copy of the above described general laws. Each team or organization will be responsible for ensuring compliance by their group and assume responsibility for the group's actions.
