| Boston, Massachusetts, is considered the capital of many things, both officially and unofficially. Officially, it is the capital city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and one of the oldest cities in the United States. Unofficially, Boston is the capital of the American Revolution with several major events taking place there, including the Boston Massacre and the notorious Boston Tea Party. It is often referred to as the Capital of New England due to its size and economic impact on the region. |  |
This year, the city earns a new title as the location for the American College Health Association (ACHA) Annual Meeting. Conducted in collaboration with the New England College Health Association, the theme this year is “Service to Others, Compassion for All.” This blog will keep attendees up to date on meeting business, as well as showcase a small sample of what Boston has to offer.
