Former Director of Financial Aid Richard Barrett

Friends and family of the late Richard Barrett, who worked for the University for 40 years, will celebrate his life at a fundraising reception at Allen House on Thursday, May 15, at 5:30 p.m. Suggested donation is $75 and proceeds will go to the Richard Barrett Memorial Endowment, a permanent legacy that will provide assistance to deserving UMass Lowell students.

During his tenure at UMass Lowell, Barrett served in various capacities including business management, institutional research and financial aid. He retired as director of financial aid before losing his battle with pancreatic cancer last April. He was also president of the Service Employees International Union for many years.
