Plumber & Steamfitter II

Company Description:

Framingham State University was founded in 1839 for a singular
purpose - to meet a public need and promote the public good. At our
founding as the nation's first public normal school, that need was
for comprehensively educated public school teachers who would, in
turn, promote an educated citizenry. FSU continues to offer
exceptional teacher education programs, and while we are proud of
our roots as a teachers' college, we have grown far beyond them.
Public need continues to evolve, and FSU right along with it.
Our students and alumni are making waves in the fashion industry,
designing nutrition plans for professional athletes, writing for
major media and news organizations, working for Fortune 500
companies right here in Framingham, and so much more. FSU is a
proudly public and truly transformative institution offering
accessible, affordable educational opportunities that integrate an
academically challenging liberal arts education with workforce
preparation programs in a highly personalized teaching environment.
Our programs have expanded, but our purpose and commitment to
public education for the public good remain steadfast.

FSU currently enrolls about 4,000 undergraduate and graduate
students across 60 undergraduate and graduate programs in the arts
and humanities, behavioral and social sciences, and professional
fields. Approximately 50% of undergraduate students
identify as students of color and 51% identify as
first-generation college students. We are deeply committed to
inclusive excellence and strive to promote a culture of equity and
antiracism as part of our mission to democratize access to a
first-rate education. This commitment has earned FSU nine Insight
Into Academia Higher Education Excellence and Distinction (HEED)
Awards and led to our recognition in the Great Colleges to Work For
program. We encourage applications from those who share our
commitment to promoting a diverse, welcoming, and inclusive
community.

FSU is ideally situated between Boston and Worcester on land
originally stewarded by the Nipmuc people for thousands of years.
FSU and the surrounding area are steeped in history, achievement,
and innovation, and provide access to urban hotspots, verdant
landscapes, natural and cultural amenities, and diverse
communities.

Our founding motto, LIVE TO THE TRUTH, was said at the end of
each class by our first principal, Cyrus Peirce, who sought to
discover and teach "truth in theory and principle...truth in spirit
and motive...truth in manner and form...truth intellectual and
truth moral." Early leaders found this motto "speaks of sincerity
of spirit...of intensity of effort, of resolution to succeed, of
joy in achievement." LIVE TO THE TRUTH aptly reflects our past and
our pledge for the future as it continues to guide our institution
in practice and endeavor. If you share in this quest for truth and
a commitment to living it fully, make the next chapter of your
career the best chapter at Framingham State University.
