January 16, 2019 Jillian Melchior The Wall Street Journal 1211 Ave. of the Americas, 5th Floor New York, NY 10036 RE: Public Records Request Dear Ms. Melchior: Thank you for your recent Public Records Request. The Massachusetts Public Records Law (M.G.L. Chapter 66 & Chapter 4, Section 7(26)) provides that every person has a right to access public information. This right of access includes the right to inspect or be furnished a copy of any public record within ten (10) business days following the receipt of a request. A state agency is only required to provide records that are in existence and is not required to create a new record based on information in its custody to accommodate a specific request. Your request, received on January 2, 2019, for email messages sent to or from staff of Quinsigamond Community College and Elizabeth Warren and Ms. Warren’s staff, representatives and/or press reps; all records reflecting accommodations for Elizabeth Warren during her visit to Worcester in May 2018 and all records reflecting compensation for Elizabeth Warren for her May 18, 2018, commencement address has been fulfilled. Please see the attached PDF transcript of all communications related to your request, and a .zip file of the referenced attachments as applicable. Quinsigamond Community College did not make any accommodations for Senator Warren’s visit, nor was she compensated for her speech. Sincerely,
Josh Martin Director of Institutional Communications

You're welcome. I just spoke with Bill Fortier at the Worcester Telegram. He was asking if we'll have any prepared remarks from the Senator to distribute, and/or if she'll be available for media interviews. I've directed him your way.
If you do have prepared remarks, we can add to the press kit we plan on handing out.

Thanks, Matt.
I'd appreciate it if you could have media check in with me at 617.340.3610 so we know to expect them. They should also be directed to go through security at the mainentrance of the DCU Center and then proceed to section 110 which is
reserved for media personnel.

Hi Josh,
Thanks for this! Today we will be sending media the senator's official schedule for Friday and the weekend, which includes this commencement. Are there any specific instructions we should provide to media who may wish to cover the event?
Do they need to RSVP for example?
If you receive any specific requests about setting up an interview with the senator,please feel free to direct them to me. In terms of the senator's availability while on site, we are still working to determine that.

Hi Christopher,
Same here. We are all looking forward to Commencement. We have section 110 reserved for press. We expect a handful of print/Web reporters and our local cable station, Charter TV3.
Do you know if Sen. Warren is available for media comments? We have a few outlets interested in speaking with her, but haven't received an official word on her press availability. Based on the current schedule, we have press lined up for
after the event, but nothing is confirmed. If we can nail down timing or availability in the a.m., we can finalize interviews and schedule.
Thanks,

As a side note, we had a student reach out to us because her mother is very ill and she hopes she makes it to her graduation ceremony next week. If it is OK with the Senator, President Pedraja would like to invite the student and her

Hi Christopher,
It was great speaking with you this afternoon. Thanks for taking the time to learn about QCC and our community. We are all very excited to hear Senator Warren speak atcommencement.
As promised, here is some additional information about the school.
You can read about and view some photos of the wyvern both in its illustrated and "live" state at http://www.qcc.edu/student-life/wyvern. As the wyvern is the mythical protector of our sister city in Worcester, England, we look at our
graduates as the protectors or guardians of our community. We graduate the nurses, EMT's firefighters and police officers that guard and protect our lives. Anecdotally, just about every hospital, doctor's office, fire or police station,
and ambulance has a QCC graduate working there. It's almost impossible to visit a hospital without encountering a QCC nurse, radiologist, or EMT. We also graduate theengineers, business entrepreneurs, early childhood teachers, auto
techs, and others who "guard" our community by providing the vital services that we rely on. You can view our academic programs at http://www.qcc.edu/academics.
Our marketing campaign is built around "College. Made Smarter". You can view some commercials at http://www.qcc.edu/admissions. We feel it's smarter to attend QCC as you can attend for free by qualifying for financial aid, save up to
$100,000 on a bachelor's degree by starting at QCC and transferring to a 4 yr. college or university, balance your life by attending school on mornings, days, nights, weekends or online and get support from faculty and staff with real
world experience.
Our new President, Dr. Luis Pedraja, joined us in July of 2017 and was formally Inaugurated on April 13, 2018. Dr. Pedraja is the first Latino/Hispanic president toserve at one of the 11 non-profit colleges in Worcester. You can view
his bio at http://www.qcc.edu/about/presidents-message/luis-g-pedrajas-inauguration.
We are also the first community college in MA to offer a Fab Lab (https://vimeo.com/235382219), and a mobile campus/recruiting vehicle, the Wyvernmobile (http://www.qcc.edu/newsletter/2018/02/quinsigamond-community-colleges-
wyvernmobile-takes-roadways).
We have 8 locations across our service area. Our area is roughly North to Leominster, West to the Brookfields, East to I-495/Marlborough/Blackstone Valley, and South to the CT/RI border.
Our main campus is on West Boylston St. in Worcester, and we also have operations inPage 38
Emails with Sen Warren Teamdowntown Worcester (QCC Healthcare and Workforce Development Center) at the Worcester Senior Center (Hospitality and Recreation Management), Burncoat
High School (Automotive Technology) and Worcester Technical High School (HVAC).
In addition to our presence in Worcester, we have satellite locations in Southbridgeand Assabet Valley/Marlborough. We also have an "Internet Learning Cafe" in Whitinsville/Blackstone Valley and are working with the Blackstone Valley
Chamber of Commerce to participate in their Manufacturing Learning Center that is slated to open later this year or in early 2019.
I've attached our Spring 2018 enrollment report which will show you student demographics and most popular programs for both our Worcester main campus and Southbridge location. I've also attached a pdf of two fact sheets that we hand out.
This is in the process of being updated so please forgive some minor discrepancies, but it will give you an idea of some of the main messages we use to highlight the campus.
I think this is everything you were looking for, but if you need more information orclarification on anything, please do not hesitate to ask.
I'll be in touch as soon as I hear from Edward Reitz to set up a time for you both to meet.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your email. I can chat later this afternoon, any time after 4:30 if that works for you. I've reached out to Ed. I'm not sure if he'll be able to join us today, but I can certainly set up another call with him once we've
connected.

Hi Josh,
Christopher Huntley here, Speechwriter for Senator Elizabeth Warren. The senator is excited to attend this year's ceremony and deliver the commencement address to the Class of 2018. Would it be possible to connect by phone today to
discuss any themes QCC may have in mind and a few other details about the campus? I'd also like to speak with Edward Reitz if at all possible to take the temperature of the student body.
If today works I can be reached via email or at my desk 202.228.1008.
Looking forward to connecting,
Christopher

Hi Everett & Nora,
I have attached our draft program, as we are still working out some final details and speakers. The procession will begin promptly at 1:00pm, and the line of march usually lasts about 20 minutes or so, once all students, faculty and
staff process. We anticipate the entire ceremony to last about 2 hours, with hopes of concluding at 3:00pm (sometimes it lasts 3 hours and 15). Senator Warren is scheduled to speak prior to the awarding of degrees and the procession of
students to the stage. We have several greeters earlier in the line-up who are instructed to speak for 2 minutes each. We then do the awarding of Emeriti, and that in total is about 5 to 10 minutes. My best guess for when the Senator
will speak is approximately 20 to 25 minutes into the program after the procession, so roughly 1:45pm.

Hi Christopher,
It was great speaking with you this afternoon. Thanks for taking the time to learn about QCC and our community. We are all very excited to hear Senator Warren speak atcommencement.
As promised, here is some additional information about the school.
You can read about and view some photos of the wyvern both in its illustrated and "live" state at http://www.qcc.edu/student-life/wyvern. As the wyvern is the mythical protector of our sister city in Worcester, England, we look at our
graduates as the protectors or guardians of our community. We graduate the nurses, EMT's firefighters and police officers that guard and protect our lives. Anecdotally, just about every hospital, doctor's office, fire or police station,
and ambulance has a QCC graduate working there. It's almost impossible to visit a hospital without encountering a QCC nurse, radiologist, or EMT. We also graduate theengineers, business entrepreneurs, early childhood teachers, auto
techs, and others who "guard" our community by providing the vital services that we rely on. You can view our academic programs at http://www.qcc.edu/academics.
Our marketing campaign is built around "College. Made Smarter". You can view some commercials at http://www.qcc.edu/admissions. We feel it's smarter to attend QCC as you can attend for free by qualifying for financial aid, save up to
$100,000 on a bachelor's degree by starting at QCC and transferring to a 4 yr. college or university, balance your life by attending school on mornings, days, nights, weekends or online and get support from faculty and staff with real

Our new President, Dr. Luis Pedraja, joined us in July of 2017 and was formally Inaugurated on April 13, 2018. Dr. Pedraja is the first Latino/Hispanic president toserve at one of the 11 non-profit colleges in Worcester. You can view
his bio at http://www.qcc.edu/about/presidents-message/luis-g-pedrajas-inauguration <http://www.qcc.edu/about/presidents-message/luis-g-pedrajas-inauguration> .
We are also the first community college in MA to offer a Fab Lab (https://vimeo.com/235382219), and a mobile campus/recruiting vehicle, the Wyvernmobile (http://www.qcc.edu/newsletter/2018/02/quinsigamond-community-colleges-
wyvernmobile-takes-roadways).
We have 8 locations across our service area. Our area is roughly North to Leominster, West to the Brookfields, East to I-495/Marlborough/Blackstone Valley, and South to the CT/RI border.
Our main campus is on West Boylston St. in Worcester, and we also have operations indowntown Worcester (QCC Healthcare and Workforce Development Center) at the Worcester Senior Center (Hospitality and Recreation Management), Burncoat
High School (Automotive Technology) and Worcester Technical High School (HVAC).
In addition to our presence in Worcester, we have satellite locations in Southbridgeand Assabet Valley/Marlborough. We also have an "Internet Learning Cafe" in Whitinsville/Blackstone Valley and are working with the Blackstone Valley
Chamber of Commerce to participate in their Manufacturing Learning Center that is slated to open later this year or in early 2019.
I've attached our Spring 2018 enrollment report which will show you student demographics and most popular programs for both our Worcester main campus and Southbridge location. I've also attached a pdf of two fact sheets that we hand out.
This is in the process of being updated so please forgive some minor discrepancies, but it will give you an idea of some of the main messages we use to highlight the campus.
I think this is everything you were looking for, but if you need more information orclarification on anything, please do not hesitate to ask.
I'll be in touch as soon as I hear from Edward Reitz to set up a time for you both to meet.

I did receive your message confirming that Friday 5/4 at 9:30am will work for you todo a walk-through of the DCU Center. We can meet near Door 5, which is on the MajorTaylor Blvd. side of the arena, near a large shipping door (#4).
We can actually park on the sidewalk area near door 5 and meet Shari O’Connor near there. In case anything changes or you get held up, you can reach me on my cell at (REDACTED).
Thank you,

Hi Christopher,
It was great speaking with you this afternoon. Thanks for taking the time to learn Page 55
Emails with Sen Warren Teamabout QCC and our community. We are all very excited to hear Senator Warren speak atcommencement.
As promised, here is some additional information about the school.
You can read about and view some photos of the wyvern both in its illustrated and "live" state at http://www.qcc.edu/student-life/wyvern. As the wyvern is the mythical protector of our sister city in Worcester, England, we look at our
graduates as the protectors or guardians of our community. We graduate the nurses, EMT's firefighters and police officers that guard and protect our lives. Anecdotally, just about every hospital, doctor's office, fire or police station,
and ambulance has a QCC graduate working there. It's almost impossible to visit a hospital without encountering a QCC nurse, radiologist, or EMT. We also graduate theengineers, business entrepreneurs, early childhood teachers, auto
techs, and others who "guard" our community by providing the vital services that we rely on. You can view our academic programs at http://www.qcc.edu/academics <http://www.qcc.edu/academics> .
Our marketing campaign is built around "College. Made Smarter". You can view some commercials at http://www.qcc.edu/admissions. We feel it's smarter to attend QCC as you can attend for free by qualifying for financial aid, save up to
$100,000 on a bachelor's degree by starting at QCC and transferring to a 4 yr. college or university, balance your life by attending school on mornings, days, nights, weekends or online and get support from faculty and staff with real
world experience.
Our new President, Dr. Luis Pedraja, joined us in July of 2017 and was formally Inaugurated on April 13, 2018. Dr. Pedraja is the first Latino/Hispanic president toserve at one of the 11 non-profit colleges in Worcester. You can view
his bio at http://www.qcc.edu/about/presidents-message/luis-g-pedrajas-inauguration <http://www.qcc.edu/about/presidents-message/luis-g-pedrajas-inauguration> .
We are also the first community college in MA to offer a Fab Lab (https://vimeo.com/235382219), and a mobile campus/recruiting vehicle, the Wyvernmobile (http://www.qcc.edu/newsletter/2018/02/quinsigamond-community-colleges-
wyvernmobile-takes-roadways).
We have 8 locations across our service area. Our area is roughly North to Leominster, West to the Brookfields, East to I-495/Marlborough/Blackstone Valley, and South to the CT/RI border.
Our main campus is on West Boylston St. in Worcester, and we also have operations indowntown Worcester (QCC Healthcare and Workforce Development Center) at the Worcester Senior Center (Hospitality and Recreation Management), Burncoat
High School (Automotive Technology) and Worcester Technical High School (HVAC).
In addition to our presence in Worcester, we have satellite locations in Southbridgeand Assabet Valley/Marlborough. We also have an "Internet Learning Cafe" in Whitinsville/Blackstone Valley and are working with the Blackstone Valley
Chamber of Commerce to participate in their Manufacturing Learning Center that is slated to open later this year or in early 2019.
I've attached our Spring 2018 enrollment report which will show you student demographics and most popular programs for both our Worcester main campus and
Page 56
Emails with Sen Warren TeamSouthbridge location. I've also attached a pdf of two fact sheets that we hand out.
This is in the process of being updated so please forgive some minor discrepancies, but it will give you an idea of some of the main messages we use to highlight the campus.
I think this is everything you were looking for, but if you need more information orclarification on anything, please do not hesitate to ask.
I'll be in touch as soon as I hear from Edward Reitz to set up a time for you both to meet.
Thanks,

It was good to meet you in person last month during our visit with Senator Warren. I enjoyed the discussions and look forward to future opportunities to connect. I am writing to follow-up on a couple of things:
First, Sen. Warren accepted the invitation to be our graduation speaker. Wewere asked to coordinate any public information and announcements with your office. We would like to announce that she will be our graduation speaker
and have reached out to your offices several times to try to coordinate, but have not heard back. Can you direct me to the proper person to coordinate and/or make sure we can announce it? I would appreciate it.

Second, I will be in D.C. April 16-17 participating in Excelencia’s Presidents for Latino Student Success Summit. I am the only president from Massachusetts invited to the summit, given my involvement with Presidents for Latino

wanted to make sure you were aware of the meeting. I have copied the information onthe meetings to which we invited legislators below:

Josh:
It was good to meet you in person last month during our visit with Senator Warren. I enjoyed the discussions and look forward to future opportunities to connect. I am writing to follow-up on a couple of things:
First, Sen. Warren accepted the invitation to be our graduation speaker. Wewere asked to coordinate any public information and announcements with your office. We would like to announce that she will be our graduation speaker
and have reached out to your offices several times to try to coordinate, but have not heard back. Can you direct me to the proper person to coordinate and/or make sure we can announce it? I would appreciate it.
Second, I will be in D.C. April 16-17 participating in Excelencia’s Presidents for Latino Student Success Summit. I am the only president from Massachusetts invited to the summit, given my involvement with Presidents for Latino
Student Success. When I spoke with the organizers, I suggested they invite Sen. Warren and/or you to attend. I realize Sen. Warren’s schedule is busy, but if she cannot make it, it might be beneficial for you to attend. Regardless, I

Josh:
It was good to meet you in person last month during our visit with Senator Warren. I enjoyed the discussions and look forward to future opportunities to connect. I am writing to follow-up on a couple of things:
First, Sen. Warren accepted the invitation to be our graduation speaker. Wewere asked to coordinate any public information and announcements with your office. We would like to announce that she will be our graduation speaker
and have reached out to your offices several times to try to coordinate, but have not heard back. Can you direct me to the proper person to coordinate and/or make sure we can announce it? I would appreciate it.
Second, I will be in D.C. April 16-17 participating in Excelencia’s Presidents for Latino Student Success Summit. I am the only president from

wanted to make sure you were aware of the meeting. I have copied the information onthe meetings to which we invited legislators below:

Josh:
It was good to meet you in person last month during our visit with Senator Warren. I enjoyed the discussions and look forward to future opportunities to connect. I amwriting to follow-up on a couple of things:
First, Sen. Warren accepted the invitation to be our graduation speaker. We were asked to coordinate any public information and announcements with your office. We would like to announce that she will be our graduation speaker and have
reached out to your offices several times to try to coordinate, but have not heard back. Can you direct me to the proper person to coordinate and/or make sure we can announce it? I would appreciate it.
Second, I will be in D.C. April 16-17 participating in Excelencia’s Presidents for Latino Student Success Summit. I am the only president from Massachusetts invited to the summit, given my involvement with Presidents for Latino Student
Success. When I spoke with the organizers, I suggested they invite Sen. Warren and/or you to attend. I realize Sen. Warren’s schedule is busy, but if she cannot make it, it might be beneficial for you to attend. Regardless, I wanted
to make sure you were aware of the meeting. I have copied the information on the meetings to which we invited legislators below:

Josh:
It was good to meet you in person last month during our visit with Senator Warren. I enjoyed the discussions and look forward to future opportunities to connect. I amwriting to follow-up on a couple of things:
First, Sen. Warren accepted the invitation to be our graduation speaker. We were asked to coordinate any public information and announcements with your office. We would like to announce that she will be our graduation speaker and have
reached out to your offices several times to try to coordinate, but have not heard back. Can you direct me to the proper person to coordinate and/or make sure we can announce it? I would appreciate it.
Second, I will be in D.C. April 16-17 participating in Excelencia’s Presidents for Latino Student Success Summit. I am the only president from Massachusetts invited to the summit, given my involvement with Presidents for Latino Student
Success. When I spoke with the organizers, I suggested they invite Sen. Warren and/or you to attend. I realize Sen. Warren’s schedule is busy, but if she cannot make it, it might be beneficial for you to attend. Regardless, I wanted
to make sure you were aware of the meeting. I have copied the information on the meetings to which we invited legislators below:

Emails with Sen Warren Team
I am following up to the initial request by QCC President Pedraja inviting Senator Warren to speak at QCC’s Commencement this coming May 18th. I know at the time of the request, her schedule for 2018 had not yet begun being prepared,
but I am hoping you may have a better idea at this point of her availability. The event is scheduled for 1pm at the DCU Center in Worcester on Friday, May 18, 2018.
Again, we thank you for the Senator’s consideration of speaking at QCC’s Commencement.

Hi Nora,
Thank you for getting back to me about President Pedraja’s invitation to Senator Warren. We understand it is early out, but we are appreciative of you considering our request once her 2018 schedule begins to form. Typically we begin
planning our Commencement in January and prepare for it right up to the day of the event. When it comes to speakers, we will have time in January or February to seek out another speaker if Senator Warren is unavailable, so for now we
will just hold and wait to hear from you when you have a better idea of Senator Warren’s schedule for next year.

Hi Selina,
Thank you so much for reaching out and passing along the invitation from President Pedraja for the Senator to be the 2018 Commencement Speaker at Quinsigamond Community College. We have yet to being planning out 2018 schedule and likely
won’t do so until closer to the new year but will of course keep this invitation under consideration. Is there a certain process / timeline that QCC normally goes through as they plan the commencement ceremony?
Thanks again for the invitation. Talk to you soon.

Greetings,
On a recent trip back to Massachusetts from Chicago, Quinsigamond Community College had 4 faculty members who were returning from a training and had the pleasure of sitting behind Senator Warren on their flight. Near the end of the
flight they had a very pleasant conversation with her and Senator Warren noted she has been the commencement speaker at 13 of the 15 community college commencement ceremonies. We have not been lucky enough to have her speak at one of
our commencements yet, so we would be honored if Senator Warren would consider speaking at our next Commencement. Our ceremony is scheduled for Friday, May 18, 2018 at 1:00pm at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA.
Our new President, Dr. Luis Pedraja would be honored to have Senator Warren be a part of his first Commencement.
Thank you for considering our request and I look forward to hearing from you. I have attached a photo of the Senator and our faculty after their flight together earlier this summer.

Senator Elizabeth Warren Quinsigamond Community College Commencement Address
President Pedraja, faculty, alumni, friends, family and graduates. I’m honored to be here with you today at Quinsigamond Community College home of the beloved Wyverns! Thank you President Pedraja for inviting me to address this year’s ceremony. This is President Pedraja’s first commencement here at Quinsig -- congratulations on a job well done. I know what you’re thinking---if Elizabeth is here today with us, how will she ever make it over to Windsor Castle in time for the Royal wedding? It’s okay—there’s a Southwest flight that leave in 2 hours. 17 stops but it’s cheap. To the graduates of the Class of 2018 you did it. Classes are over, papers are finished – or not –exams are done, you’ve made it to the finish line. Congratulations! I think it’s safe to say that none of you would be here today without the love and support you received from your family, friends and loved ones. They stood by your side through thick and thin. The late nights, early mornings, the endless cash app transfers—all of it. So, let’s take a moment to say thank you.
2
And we certainly cannot forget the faculty and staff who helped get you across the finish line. Let’s hear it for all the educators here at Quinsig! I went to a commuter school a lot like this one, so I know that you’re leaving campus with a quality education that will help you take the world by storm. Here’s to Quinsigamond! But I suspect I’ve been invited today to make sure that you leave with one more small addition to that quality education, so here’s my offering. Later today when you’re celebrating with family and friends, they will give you all kinds of career advice. Here’s one thing to add to the list – a piece of advice that, down the line, may save your life, your career or even your marriage—so listen up. Delete every college photo you’ve ever taken. I’m serious. No matter how well behaved you’ve been, nothing good can ever come of them, trust me. And here’s another piece of advice: save embarrassing photos you’ve taken of other people. You never know when they may be running against you for the Senate – it could make the difference. OK, seriously, I do have one piece of advice I want to share with you as you move into the next chapter of your life: democracy depends on you.
3
Now I know that sounds like something you’d hear on a cable news panel just before you drift off to sleep, but I’m serious. At this moment in history, our democracy is in crisis. And it’s up to us to save it. Our democracy was founded on the ideals of liberty, equality and justice for all. And a host of laws, rules, standards and traditions have made America the land of opportunity. I know the value of that opportunity first hand. When I graduated from a commuter college like this one, I didn’t say to myself “United States Senate, here I come”. My principal feeling at the time was celebration. I didn’t have another 40 years to go to hit my dream. I had already arrived—and it had been a hard road to get there. From the time I was in second grade, I wanted to be a teacher. [Can we hear it for any teachers in the group? Teachers rock!] But for me to be a teacher, I needed to go to college, and my family had no money for college. Besides, my mother didn’t think I should go to college—I was supposed find a husband and raise some kids. I had a different plan. I was a high school debater, got a full scholarship to college, so off I went.
4
When I turned 19 the first boy I ever dated parachuted back into my life and asked me to marry him. So, what did I do? The most logical and sensible thing – I said yes—gave up my scholarship, dropped out of school and marched down the aisle. That was the 1968 version of swiping right. I dropped out of college, but I hadn’t given up the dream of becoming a teacher. And a commuter college –one that cost $50 a semester – was my second chance. Yeah, take a deep breath and think about that price tag: $50. I found a school I could pay for on a part-time waitressing job, and I held on for dear life. I eventually scraped together enough credits to graduate. The process wasn’t easy, it was full of ups and downs and sideways slides, but because this was my chance to do something I was deeply passionate about. You might say, I persisted. My story has a lot more twists and turns: Moving. Babies. Law School. Divorce. Remarriage. A ten-year-long fight—1995-2005—against credit card companies that tricked people. A fight to build a consumer financial protection bureau to protect American families and stick it to the banks. And then, the first woman elected from Massachusetts to serve in the U.S. Senate.
5
It’s been an amazing journey, but it all started with my chance to earn the diploma that you are about to pick up. I got my $50 second chance at a commuter college because I grew up in a time when America invested a lot more in its kids. America—our government, our democracy—made in a priority to invest in kids who are trying to get an education. I’m deeply grateful for that opportunity. I believe that one part of democracy should be about helping people get a chance to build something valuable. I’m deeply frustrated that our government—not just this administration, but our government over the past 40 years—has shifted more and more of the cost of an education over to the students. And I have to be honest with you, it happens because in Washington and in state houses across the country, money talks, and the voices of students are not as loud as the voices of CEOs and billionaires. Our democracy is under siege. Right now, the integrity of our democratic institutions is being eroded at a break neck pace. Our regulatory agencies have been hijacked by giant corporations. The free and open press endures daily attacks. The rule of law is questioned from the highest office in the land.
6
I’ll give you just one example that is especially relevant today: The Department of Education, the Department that is supposed to look out for students, the Department that hires the companies that administer your student loans, has been loaded up with lobbyists and executives who make their money shilling for the phony schools and high-profit student loan companies. The Department of Education is helping make investors rich—while you, the students, will pay and pay and pay. This is wrong, and it would not be happening if democracy were actually serving the people, and not just the rich and powerful. OK, that’s heavy, heavy for a graduation speech and really heavy for a group that was up partying late, late last night. Yes, it’s heavy, but hear this: I’m hopeful. I’m hopeful because of you. Yes, money talks, but only so long as millions of Americans remain silent. When we use our voices together, we are louder—and more powerful—than any force in this country. And that’s why I’m hopeful: Even as the rich and powerful tighten their hold on our democratic institutions – democracy is changing. And you are helping lead the change.
7
In the last year, I’ve had 27 town halls across the Commonwealth and the number one question I’ve gotten is: how can I get involved? How can I make my voice heard? In the fights over health care and immigration and net neutrality—and yes, student loans, how can I make this democracy represent me? How can I make this government deliver on the promise of America? Democracy is changing. It’s not the democracy of big money. It’s not the democracy of party bosses. This democracy is powered by the people. This democracy is led by women wearing pussy hats and carrying hand-made signs who organized the largest march in the history of the world. This democracy is led by the people who flooded every airport terminal across this country and said, “America cannot—and will not—ban Muslims.”
8
This democracy is led by the scientists who marched in their lab coats, the scientists who are working with real urgency to use science to save us from climate change and global destruction. This democracy is led by people with disabilities who stormed the halls of Congress during the health care debates to put a human face on Medicaid. This democracy is led by Dreamers who are as American as you and me and deserve a chance to dream. This democracy is led by 15 year-olds and 16 year-olds who’ve said “enough is enough. Kids are dying in schools, on their way to school, in their homes and on their front steps.” And this democracy is led by you, Class of 2018. This democracy depends on you. Make no mistake – we’re a diverse nation. Just look around you. The stories and backgrounds of the people at this ceremony are as diverse as they come. But even with all of our differences, there is so much we have in common. So much we have to figure out together. So much that we can’t manage alone.
9
Rising health care costs, climate change, the cost of college, reforming our criminal justice system – all of these issues affect our future. And here’s the truth – every single step we take further into cynicism – retreating into our corners, digging in with suspicion and resentment – is another step away from solving the problems that are threatening to destroy our democracy. Whether Quinsig is the first stop on your journey – or the beginning of your second chance - jump into the fight to save our democracy. We need your voices. We need your perspectives. We need your experience. Democracy depends on you. So get in the fight, Class of 2018. If you don’t know how to start I’ll give you three suggestions:
First, join a group. Groups make us stronger and help us organize.
Second, don’t just talk with people who agree with you. Talk to that cranky uncle of yours or the new office mate who’s obsessed with conspiracy theories. Yes, the two of you may disagree, but talk—and, more importantly, listen. That’s how we’ll begin building solutions.
Third, show up. Protest. Rally. Organize. Stand with those who share your values. Stand—and fight alongside them.
10
Use your voice, use your energy, use your determination – use whatever you have to move this country forward. America gave me a chance, and I’m grateful down to my toes. I ran for the Senate because I want the next Quinsig kid to have that same chance. To grow up in an America full of possibilities. That is the true promise of our democracy. It’s a promise worth fighting for. And I’m in this fight with you all the way. So here’s to the Class of 2018! You are the future of America. I’m honored to fight alongside you. Let’s make change. Thank you!

Senator Elizabeth Warren to speak at Quinsigamond Community College
Commencement WORCESTER, MA—April 4, 2018—U.S. Senior Senator Elizabeth Warren will give the keynote address at Quinsigamond Community College’s 53rd Commencement. Senator Warren has made it her life’s work to fight for middle class families and has made higher education reform one of her top priorities. As one of the most visible figures in national politics today, Senator Warren has been relentless in working to be the voice of the people. She is recognized as one of the nation's top experts on bankruptcy and the financial pressures facing middle class families. Senator Warren has served as Chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), and through her direct initiatives, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created. Senator Warren was also instrumental in introducing the Accreditation Reform and Enhanced Accountability Act of 2016 (AREAA). The legislation is designed to take steps to reduce student debt and protect students and taxpayers by reforming higher education accreditation and strengthening the Education Department's (ED) ability to hold accreditors accountable. The Senator has also proposed a bill with Senator Bernie Sanders, The College for All Act, which would enable students to attend most public universities for free. Senator Warren has received many accolades over the years including being named one of the Most Influential Lawyers of the Decade by National Law Journal; honored by the Massachusetts Women's Bar Association with the Lelia J. Robinson Award and was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world three times by TIME Magazine. “Senator Warren has a clear vision of the roles that community colleges play in the economic prosperity of our students and our communities, said QCC President Dr. Luis G. Pedraja. “She will serve as a strong foundation for our ceremony. We are sure her words will inspire and motivate our graduates to continue achieving great heights as they leave QCC and fulfill their dreams.” The college’s Commencement will take place on May 18, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. in the DCU Center in Worcester.
