Guess who has tried all the cafes at UMass, while still actively involved in mentoring and academic success at UMass?

You’re not going to be a better software developer, accountant, or artist by being an international student at UMass than if you studied at home — but you could end up becoming a different person! In the end, I think that’s what matters." 🎯
