Meet Our Students
Patrick McCallum '18
Plastics Engineering
Patrick McCallum got a leg up on his plastics engineering career with an internship at Wittmann Battenfeld, where he worked alongside the company's president, alum David Preusse '85.
As a student, it's rewarding to be involved with (Industry 4.0). Most people don't have a clue what newer machines are capable of. Now, I'm able to talk about those sorts of things.
Jyotik Savaj '19
Energy Engineering/Solar
Jyotik Savaj, who is enrolled in the Master of Science in Energy Engineering/Solar Program, aims to help fulfill the need for solar power and has a paid co-op job at Exyte, an engineering and project management company specializing in high-tech facilities.
Conserving our environment is why we do this.
Haylee Dussault '16, '18
Nutritional Science, Public Health
Haylee Dussault was a part of the first class of students in the Master of Public Heath Dietetics program. Shortly after graduation, she passed the registered dietitian exam and landed her dream job.
I’ve been given the opportunity not just to make valuable connections in the dietetics industry, but to also focus on making a real impact on school food service.
Mathew D'Entremont '23
Psychology
The Moloney Student Fellowship Fund allowed Mathew D’Entremont to take an unpaid internship with a Lowell nonprofit.
It was good to learn about an organization like Coalition for a Better Acre in the city where I go to school.
Jessica Amedee '18, '20
Public Administration
Jessica Amedee interned at the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce as the university’s first Civic Action Project fellow. The program for UMass graduate students in public policy and related fields introduced her to a network of inspiring professionals.
I met a number of people I would be able to reach out to. I also met great people from the other UMass campuses.
