MCC hosts transfer fairs

To introduce students of all ages and stages in their life to different four-year colleges and universities, Middlesex Community College is hosting transfer fairs on both its Lowell and Bedford campuses.

The Lowell Transfer Fair will take place Wednesday, Oct. 30, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Cowan Center Cafeteria, 33 Kearney Square; the Bedford Transfer Fair takes place Thursday, Oct. 31, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., 591 Springs Road.

MCC helps students transfer to four-year colleges and universities across New England and nationwide each year. With a number of articulation agreements and MassTransfer, MCC makes the transfer process as easy as possible. This year’s fairs will welcome more than 40 colleges and universities.

“At MCC, we strive to work with our students to develop and put into action a plan for their academic, transfer and career goals from day one of their time with us,” Coordinator of Transfer Affairs Nick Cloutier said.

Household Hazardous Waste Day

The list below contains many, but not all, hazardous products you may find in your home that will be accepted at a Household Hazardous Waste Day: Antifreeze; propane tanks; brake fluid; car polishes and waxes; degreasers; drain openers; driveway sealers, epoxies, adhesive strippers and preservatives; fertilizers, fungicides, herbicides and pesticides; hobby/photography chemicals; metal or furniture polish; motor oil; gasoline and transmission fluid; oil paint, paint thinner, solvents, stains and varnishes; oven cleaners, pool chemicals.
