A Message from the President and the Chairman of the Board
It is hard to believe that about eighteen months have passed since The Research Bureau re-located to the campus of Assumption College. This annual report provides a fitting occasion to illustrate through photographs and text the nature of the partnership that is developing with the College.
First, we have established an internship program with the College and initiated a new series of reports to be researched and written by student interns. During the first full year of operation, our intern has been working on this new series, called “Worcester by the Numbers,” which was requested by the City of Worcester’s Chief Development Officer. These reports, covering topics such as Worcester’s demographics, economy, jobs, employment, and school-age population, provide important data about Worcester for inclusion on the City’s website. These data will be easily accessible to the public and should be especially useful to businesses interested in opportunities in the City, to non-profit organizations applying for grants, to the academic community for research, to college students seeking to learn more about the City in which they are residing, as well as to other citizens.
