THE START OF THE NEW ACADEMIC YEAR
2010-08-30 08:31:56
Today we begin classes as we open the 2010-11 academic year at the College. There is much enthusiasm and optimism as we welcome 400 new students to our already robust student body. Our new students have just completed a four day Orientation Program designed to prepare them for success as a college student. I have the opportunity to participate in many Orientation events. The two that are most significant to me are our Matriculation Ceremony and our Class Meeting. At the Matriculation View more

Molly Bish Center

About the Molly Bish Center

The Molly Bish Center for the Protection of Children and the Elderly is named after Molly Bish, the 16 year-old lifeguard who was abducted from Comins Pond in Warren, MA on June 27, 2000. Family, friends and the community were shocked by the cruel reality that fell upon Molly’s parents, John and Magi Bish, as they dealt with a parents’ worse nightmare- the abduction of their child.  The agonizing search for Molly came to an end in 2003 when her remains were found in Palmer, MA, only five miles from her home and where she was abducted.

 
Anna Maria College’s Molly Bish Center for the Protection of Children and the Elderly was established in late 2004 in collaboration with John and Magi Bish.  “Magi and I can’t change what happened to Molly,” says John, the Center’s first Advisory Board Chairman, “but we can try to stop it from happening again.”  As a lifeguard, Molly took responsibility for the safety and protection of others.  In her honor, the Center was established to promote the safety and protection of two of the most vulnerable groups in our society- children and the elderly.  The Center serves to help enhance the College’s mission of community awareness and service through education and training.
