Meet Our Students
Matt Macioci '18
Mechanical Engineering
Thanks to professional co-ops at New Balance and Teradyne, mechanical engineering major Matt Macioci has designs on a future career working with complex machinery.
If someone had told me when I was a freshman that I’d be working at New Balance in 2-3 years, I wouldn’t have believed it. It’s amazing what I’ve experienced here.
Sean Jordan '14
Physical Therapy
Sean Jordan is living his dream working for the New England Patriots as an assistant athletic trainer and physical therapist.
The experiences I had at UMass Lowell helped me gain confidence as a clinician and gave me the chance to network and grow as a professional.
Allyson Toppi ’20, ’21
Mechanical Engineering
Allyson Toppi never thought she could work in robotics. An internship at Brooks Automation changed her mind – and turned into a full-time job.
I never questioned that women could be engineers, because here was one in front of me, and she was so smart, strong and capable.
Andrew Sciascia '20
Political Science & Criminal Justice
Andrew Sciascia’s studies in political science and homeland security are combining with his student newspaper experience to prepare him for a career as a political analyst.
We all come to this university with a different story, and we are welcomed with open arms.
Jack Goutier '20
Electrical Engineering
For electrical engineering major Jack Goutier of Attleboro, failure was part of the job during his six-month product safety co-op at Bose Corp.
The co-op program is why I chose UMass Lowell ... I knew I wanted to get a taste of the real world before fully devoting myself to my career.
