Dean College: Spring 2021 Plan
October 29, 2020
Dear Dean College Community,
Thank you to everyone for your dedication and commitment during the
past several months as we have navigated our way through the Fall 2020
semester.
Following careful planning by all in our Community for the past several
months, Dean College is excited to announce that we will resume inperson instruction and the residential educational experience for the Spring Semester 2021. While being online for the fall semester was the best choice for our community, we are thrilled to see our students in person once again.
The 2020-2021 academic year has been and will continue to be a different experience for all of us. I marvel at the level of engagement our staff and faculty have provided during the fall semester and I am so proud of the effort of our students. Through their determination, creativity and support of each other, our entire community has risen to the challenge and shown what The Dean Difference is all about.
Dean has made and will continue to make a substantial investment in numerous areas as we prepare our campus for residential operations. From testing procedures and personal protective equipment to dozens of facility updates in residence halls and other buildings, we are making every effort to provide the safest campus experience possible.
For students, multiple options exist when determining how to attend classes. Students may choose to return to campus for in-person instruction either as a residential or commuter student or take classes online, similar to our fall semester. For those selecting to live on campus, Dean will do our best to deliver an enjoyable and fruitful campus life experience. Students should be aware however, that there will be safety requirements and behavioral practices to which we must all adhere.
We have created a guide, Dean College Spring 2021 Plan, that summarizes the most important changes to the academic and student experience for the Spring Semester 2021. Please read and review this guide carefully while making plans for the upcoming semester. Our guidelines will continually be updated to reflect current public health conditions. We will make our community aware of any significant updates to these guidelines through ongoing communication.
Dean has also established a COVID-19 section of our website which will contain the most current information including the Spring 2021 Plan, a list of frequently asked questions, and short videos.
The College will continue to be thoughtful and transparent in our communications as we finalize and implement this plan. We ask for everyone’s cooperation and attentiveness to these guidelines as we all navigate through these unprecedented times.
With warm regards
Dr. Paula M. Rooney
Dean College President

"I need to go do whatever I can"
From the Boston Globe, an article of interest for Franklin:
"Throughout the presidential campaign, Jennifer O’Malley Dillon often repeated a mantra from her collegiate softball days to rally staff on endless Zoom calls: We can do hard things.
Even for someone with an optimistic attitude, 2020 presented a particularly high number of “hard things” for the woman running Joe Biden’s campaign — a pandemic that turned traditional campaigning upside down, a polarized left that wasn’t thrilled about a three-time, middle-of-the-road presidential candidate, an unpredictable opponent who frequently said the election was rigged before any votes were cast.
But the mantra, however unflashy, turned out to be true.
“Once she commits to a goal, she’s going to grind it out,” said longtime friend Cloe Axelson, who played softball at Tufts with Dillon and worked on early campaigns with her. “She’s so tough, and she just does the work.”

You may recall the Washington Post ran an article in August
The Milford Daily News picked up on the Post article in October
The Washington Post and MDN had also run an article in March when she joined the campaign https://www.franklinmatters.org/2020/03/bidens-new-campaign-manager-is-franklin.html

FHS boys soccer tops Foxboro 3 - 1
Via HockomockSports.com, we share the fall sports results for Franklin High School on Thursday, Nov 12
Boy Soccer = Consolation Rounds = Franklin, 3 @ Foxboro, 1 – Final
– Franklin opened the scoring just before halftime and tacked on two straight in the second half on its way to a 3-0 win on the road at Foxboro. Ben Moccia redirected a free kick from Terry O’Neill to put the Panthers ahead just before the halftime whistle. O’Neill doubled the lead in the third quarter, blasting a penalty into the back right corner with just over five minutes to play in the third quarter. Charlie Amante shouldered in a cross from Moccia to extend the lead to 3-0 in the fourth. Foxboro’s Matt Angelini got the Warriors on the board, burying a touch from Adam Connolly.
