What a wonderful commencement story (so good that it made it to People magazine). Two of the daughters graduated from nutritional sciences and nursing in 2023. UMass Lowell reunions should be a fun family affair.

Congratulations to mom and all of her children. Job well done! 👏

Giving during Days of Giving is about removing the one obstacle that could have changed someone’s path. Here's what that actually looks like:

👉 It's the student who almost turned down an unpaid internship—but didn’t have to because of donor support.
👉 It's the first-generation student who stayed enrolled when an unexpected bill hit.
👉 It’s the moment someone realizes, “I belong here.”

If you're in a position to donate, please give to the Zuckerberg College of Health Sciences today at the link below. 💙 hashtag

Check out the challenges, including:

➡️ College Advisory Board Chair Amy Hoey and Dean Mary Gallant will donate $2,000 if the Zuckerberg College of Health Sciences reaches 130 donors.
