Hear from Our Faculty & Students
Rameez Shaikh '21BiologyRameez Shaikh ’21 has been accepted by more than six dental schools, thanks to mentoring by Chemistry Assoc. Teaching Prof. Khalilah Reddie.
Being able to see someone who looks like you and talks like you in a position of power – it’s huge.
John Kilgo '19Computer ScienceJohn Kilgo VI began working at MITRE Corporation more than three years ago as an intern, when he was a UMass Lowell undergraduate. Now, he’s employed there full time as a software systems engineer, while enrolled part time in the master’s program in computer science.
The flexibility of the program allows the courses to sync up with what I’m doing at work.
Sunilda Frias '21BiologyHonors College Student Fellow Sunilda Frias is studying biology to help subsistence farmers improve their soil.
I like UMass Lowell because of the diversity. You can get out of your comfort zone ... but still feel like you’re at home.
Michael Souza ’13, ’14 ’13, ’14Meteorology and Atmospheric ScienceMichael Souza ’13, ’14 is the go-to meteorologist at the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency.
The university helped shape me into the scientist that I am today.Quick Links
