Meet Our Students
Scott Penfield '22
Mechanical Engineering
Honors mechanical engineering major Scott Penfield has traveled extensively on two continents besides North America – and hopes to add a fourth before long.
Applying to UMass Lowell was almost a no-brainer. It’s close to home, it’s good value and it has a good engineering program.
Melissa DiPano '20
Psychology & Spanish
A class in cognitive psychology inspired Melissa DiPano to do research with two professors and aim for a Ph.D.
I think I just lucked out as much as a psychology major possibly can.
Daphne Shakira Naut '20
Political Science & Philosophy
Honors College student Daphne Shakira Naut was already fluent in two languages and had started on two more by the time she finished high school. Here at UML, she’s picked up a fifth language and studied abroad three times – all while supporting herself.
Languages are like M&Ms. You just keep adding more.
Emoni Baffour '18
Management
Studying abroad in London convinced business student Emoni Baffour ’18 to return to the UK for graduate school and pursue her passion for a career in the fashion industry.
I want to make a positive mark on the world as much as I can. And I can definitely say that I did that here in every way I could.
Kelsey Gonzalez '21
Public Health
As a first-generation college student, Kelsey Gonzalez struggled to find a major she liked. Then she studied abroad – and came back determined to help other first-generation students.
I took a leap of faith with UMass Lowell, but I wouldn’t change it for anything.
