Robert H. Goddard Council

Established in the 2006 Economic Stimulus legislation, the Robert H. Goddard Council is comprised of 27 high-level representatives from business and industry, state government, and K-12 and higher education in the Commonwealth. The Council was created to advise the Board of Higher Education and the legislature on STEM workforce development programs and policy.

The Council is named for Robert H. Goddard, who is credited with being the first to construct and successfully launch a liquid-propelled rocket in Auburn, Massachusetts, in 1926.

Please note: As of March 10, 2008, the office of the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education
was renamed the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education. The name change will be integrated into
prior existing website content gradually over the next few months.
