Collins is quoted in the Worcester Telegram and Gazette today on a new economic and educational support agreement UMMS has reached with the city of Worcester. UMMS will contribute nearly $1.58 million over five years to support programs in Worcester that create a skilled and technologically literate workforce, including contributions to the Worcester Public Library and the biotech and bioscience programs at Worcester Technical High School.
