2023 Commencement Speakers & Distinguished Alumna
This year, MCC alumna and Massachusetts State Auditor
Diana DiZoglio will address the Class of 2023.
Auditor Diana DiZoglio is the 26th Auditor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. She
was sworn into her first term on January 18, 2023. She is committed to help move Massachusetts
forward by working to increase transparency and accountability in state government.
Auditor DiZoglio is a former State Senator (1st Essex District), State Representative
(14th Essex District), and chief of staff to the president of the Professional Fire
Fighters of Massachusetts. Her decade-long service on Beacon Hill has provided her
with the insight and fortitude to work alongside elected officials, labor, community
advocates, stakeholders and everyday working people throughout the Commonwealth's
cities and towns. Her humble beginnings, non-profit work and labor experience helped
her nurture, cultivate, and develop relationships with a diverse expanse of people.
Auditor DiZoglio began her public service in state government in 2013, serving as
a state representative for the 14th Essex District, which included portions of North
Andover, Methuen, Lawrence and Haverhill. She started her academic career at Middlesex
Community College as a psychology major where she found confidence through small class
sizes and guidance from professors. After graduating from MCC in 2008, she transferred
to Wellesley College where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Spanish.
She is a resident of Methuen, where she grew up.
