NECC staff have been educated at higher learning institutions across the world and have found their way to Southborough to join in our mission to create a better world for children with autism. In honor of March Madness, the annual Division I college basketball tournament, we’ve collected some numbers of our own.

 Current NECC staff come from 322 institutions of higher learning from:

  • 36 cities and towns across Massachusetts
  • 39 U.S. states and Washington, D.C.
  • 18 countries across the globe

Hundreds of current staff have taken advantage of NECC’s free on-site graduate programs through Simmons University (140 current staff) and Western New England University (86).  Forty-seven current staff also earned their master’s degrees at Northeastern University through a previous affiliation.
