MET Honors War Vets at VA Hospital
Friday, November 9, 2007. In appreciation of the efforts of U.S. war veterans, the Metropolitan College chapter of the Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society sponsored a Veteran’s Day event at the VA Hospital in Jamaica Plain.
The large and diverse group in attendance included veterans of wars ranging from World War II to the war in Iraq, many of whom were accompanied by their family members. Representatives of MET—including academic counselor Julie Guthrie, faculty member Ronald Harding, and students Carnot Sylvestre, Michelle Mobilia, Katherine Reid, and Thomas Ferrante—provided refreshments and distributed toiletries, gift cards, and several food contributions. They also presented monetary donations collected from members of the MET community and handed out special thank you cards signed by Honor Society members.
Patriotic displays and music were complemented by a poetry reading by faculty member Harding, who read two poems that he had composed especially for the event, on the theme of heroism.
Friday, October 19, 2007. The Second Annual Dean's Reception honored Metropolitan College undergraduates who received scholarships, made Deans List, or were inducted into Alpha Sigma Lambda—an Honor Society for adults in continuing education programs.
The ceremony was hosted by Dr. Carl Sessa, Assistant Dean of Student Academic Affairs. Speaking to the students were Dr. Jay Halfond, Dean of Metropolitan College and Extended Education, and faculty guest Dr. Joseph Bellefeuille. Dr. Bellefeuille was also awarded an honorary membership in Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society.
Twenty students (pictured) were invited to join the Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society. During their formal induction, they recited a pledge of membership and received certificate awards and membership pins.
Recipients of MET's Community Scholar Academic Scholarship for graduates from six area community colleges were also recognized.
Sixteen students present at the reception are currently enrolled in MET's online Undergraduate Degree Completion Program. Many of these students traveled considerable distances to attend the reception—some from as far away as California, Washington, and Louisiana.
The Metropolitan College community congratulates all students honored at the Dean's Reception this year.

The Metropolitan College has been awarded one of Hewlett-Packard’s 42 grants for 2007 to create an interactive mathematics classroom for the Science and Engineering Program. This $68,000 grant will provide 20 wireless tablet PC stations and additional technology for instructors in the coming month to teach our introductory math courses. We have targeted the SEP conference room as the probable location. This will allow students to solve math problems in real time by learning from their peers and the instructor – where handwriting is instantaneously digitized and distributed and also preserved for future use. This will create a far more dynamic and engaging learning laboratory, where the activity of individual problem solving will be immediately visible to all students in the classroom.
