Gov. Charlie Baker and his wife, Lauren, will receive the Connell Service Award, presented to individuals who provide consistent and exemplary service. The award is named for William F. Connell ’55, whose boundless generosity to the school included a $5 million bequest. Gov. Baker has been a major proponent of education in his time in government, while as First Lady Lauren Baker helped launch the Wonderfund, a private nonprofit that provides resources and opportunities to children engaged with the Department of Children and Families.
