Several weeks ago BBBS of CM & MW was so lucky to have the opportunity to host a virtual event with the Mayor of Framingham, Yvonne M. Spicer. Mayor Spicer has been such a generous and supportive partner for our organization. She is an advocate for STEM education and loves to share her knowledge on the subject. Mayor Spicer began her career as an engineering teacher at Framingham High School and later used her expertise as a Doctor of Educational Leadership as an administrator for the Framingham and Newton Public Schools. After serving in these roles, Mayor Spicer continued her career at Boston's Museum of Science where she was the Vice President for Advocacy and Educational Partnerships, inspiring support for STEM education among policymakers, school districts, municipalities, businesses, and nonprofits. She took office as Framingham's first Mayor in 2018 and has continued to push for STEM education in this role. At the virtual event, Bigs and Littles were able to listen to Mayor Spicer speak and ask their own questions. The recording can be viewed here. | |
