st<\/sup> Commencement on Wednesday, May 18.<\/p>\n“We are extremely proud to honor Gardner Mayor Mark Hawke as our 2016 Alumnus of the Year,” said President Daniel M. Asquino. “Like many of our students, Mayor Hawke discovered his potential while attending Mount Wachusett Community College, and then followed that path to achieve success both academically and professionally. Moreover, he has consistently demonstrated his commitment to public service, to Mount Wachusett Community College, and to our students.\u201d<\/p>\n
Created in 1989, the award recognizes a Mount Wachusett Community College graduate who has exhibited exceptional career leadership, service to community and commitment to the college.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am deeply indebted to MWCC,\u201d Mayor Hawke said.\u00a0\u201cWhile I didn\u2019t know it then, the Mount and its faculty put me on the track to success.\u00a0As a graduate, I have firsthand knowledge of the college\u2019s positive impact on students. As mayor, I have seen the transformative influence the college has had on our community. Gardner is truly fortunate to be home to MWCC.\u201d<\/p>\n
The son of Nancy Hawke and the late State Rep. Robert Hawke, Mayor Hawke is the youngest of five siblings. He attended Gardner public schools and graduated from Gardner High School as a three sport letterman. After earning his associate degree in general studies from MWCC, he went on to earn a bachelor\u2019s degree in political science from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and a master\u2019s degree in business administration from Anna Maria College.<\/p>\n
Since being sworn into office in January 2008, he has continually worked to bring Gardner into a new age through investments in the city\u2019s infrastructure, economic development, playgrounds and other facilities. Under his leadership, Gardner became one of the first communities to sign on to the Baker Administration\u2019s Commonwealth Community Pact.<\/p>\n
Prior to his election, Mayor Hawke served as Gardner’s grants administrator for over six years. He previously worked in the private sector as a business analyst for a wireless communications company, as an operations manager for a transportation company, and as a logistics analyst for a waste management company.<\/p>\n
Mayor Hawke currently serves as President of the Massachusetts Mayor\u2019s Association and on the Board of Directors for the Massachusetts Municipal Association.<\/p>\n
Among his community activities, he serves on the Board of Incorporators of Heywood Hospital; the Board of Directors of Gardner\u2019s downtown association, Square Two; and the GFA Federal Credit Union Board of Directors. Previously, he has served as president of Gardner Square Two; on the Board of Directors of the Greater Gardner Chamber of Commerce, and on MWCC\u2019s Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n
He is also an active member of the Acadien Social Club of Gardner, the Napoleon Club of Gardner, the Polish American Citizens Club of Gardner, the Gardner Museum, the Acadien Club Hockey League and City League Softball and an honorary member of the Gardner Rotary Club.<\/p>\n
He and his wife, Shelly, live in Gardner with their son, Justin.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
