Webster First Federal Credit Union has donated $10,000 to Nichols College to fund the acquisition of a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) unit and specialized software. This technology will allow students to conduct non-invasive subsurface surveys as part of ongoing archaeological investigations near the historic Black Tavern site. The donation aims to provide hands-on learning opportunities for students across various academic programs, helping them uncover artifacts related to Colonial-era and Native American history. The initiative reinforces a long-standing partnership between the financial institution and the college, focusing on community investment and experiential education.
