Mark Bilotta has been in the field of higher education for almost 30 years. He started in college admissions, working at the College of the Holy Cross and Worcester State University. He then served seven years on the President's Cabinet at Assumption College as Executive Assistant to the President where he oversaw public affairs as well as government and community relations. During that time, he also served as Secretary to the Board of Trustees. In 2006, he was named CEO of the former Colleges of Worcester Consortium, an association of 13 public and private colleges and universities that provided shared academic, administrative and student affair services for 35,000 students and 16,000 faculty and staff. At the same time, he oversaw a Massachusetts statewide network of TRIO and GEAR UP programs that serves more than 14,000 clients, mostly low-income, first-generation college goers. Mark currently serves as President of the Board of that statewide network, now called Massachusetts Education and Career Opportunities, Inc. (MassEdCO). A strong consumer advocate, Mark launched an independent complement to the federal College Scorecard called CollegeValue(R). This free, online college-rating tool measures the value and risk of enrolling at a specific college at a specific net price and has been compared to the Kelley Blue Book. In addition to his writing and website work, Mark continues to present to local, regional and national audiences of school counselors, parents and students about the need to choose colleges that are both good academic and financial fits.
