President Glenn promised everyone who attended at least six weekly runs a free t-shirt\u2014printed with the slogan \u201cWe run the campus\u201d&#8211; and free entry to the race.<br \/>\nFor several members of the group, including Sherrie Carroll of the Gallaudet Universtiy Regional Center and David Howard, adjunct faculty, this was their first race.<br \/>\nFor Carroll, it will definitely not be her last.  \u201cIt was wonderful to be with such an amazing group of runners.  I was on a natural high, smiling the whole way and so proud of myself for finishing.\u201d<br \/>\nOnce the weather improves, the President\u2019s Running Club will be gearing up for a second challenge.  Those interested should contact President Glenn at lglenn@necc.mass.edu.<\/p>\n<p>Shown front row left to right are Pam Donahue, business faculty, Bill Zannini, business faculty, Sue Shain, registrar, Melissa Saindon, student, David Howard, adjunct faculty, Ernie Greenslade, marketing communications, and back row left to right President Lane Glenn, Sue Tashjian, instructional technology, Linda Desjardins, English faculty, Aimee Stevens, Gallaudet University Regional Center, Sherrie Carroll, Gallaudet University Regional Center, Jessica Pavlick, student, Ethel Schuster, computer science faculty, and Jeff Bickford, information technology, with his daughter.
