NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) recently honored 85 individuals at the Taconic Society Donor Recognition Reception, held at the MCLA Advancement House on East Main Street in North Adams. The reception honored Taconic Society members, members of the MCLA Legacy Society, and sponsors of endowed funds at the College.
During the event, Hulda Hardman Jowett of North Adams awarded the 2009-10 James A. Hardman Jr. Scholarship in journalism and communications. The Hardman scholarship was established by the family of James A. Hardman Jr., former editor and publisher of The North Adams Transcript.
Jowett presented the scholarship to Kaitlyn Bonneville, a member of the MCLA class of 2010.
Bonneville is an English/communications major from Chicopee, Mass., with concentrations in journalism, public relations and creative writing.
