A little magic is happening on campus while everyone’s away; our new playground is coming to life! We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back to a vibrant, accessible space where students can play, explore, connect and make memories for years to come.

We couldn’t be prouder of Cotting alum Lauren Boyd, who tried out for—and earned a spot on—the New England Revolution Unified Team! Lauren’s first home game at Gillette in July was extra special with an amazing crew of family, friends and Cotting fans there to cheer her on. Last week, we were thrilled to welcome her back to school for an autograph signing and to celebrate this incredible accomplishment. Wishing Lauren and the rest of her teammates the best of luck as they travel this weekend to take on Toronto. Go Revs!
