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.
Lisa Degou '18
Political Science & Mathematics
As Student Government Association president, Lisa Degou meets with Chancellor Moloney every month to negotiate for student interests.
I fell in love with all the opportunities and the diversity here.
Matthew Chigas '17, '19
Criminal Justice, Security Studies
Internships in the Middle East and in Nashua, N.H., launched Matthew Chigas on an ambitious career path.
I try to get my hands in everything.
Shruti Jain '19
Computer Science
Shruti Jain came to UMass Lowell for its hands-on teaching approach. She’s gotten lots of opportunities to apply what she’s learning – as well as a coveted internship with Red Hat.
Once recruiters knew that I was a student at UMass Lowell, you could just see it in their faces – they were really interested in talking to me. People know what UMass Lowell is, and it’s all really positive.
Julie Lawton '21
Political Science
Joining a club as soon as she arrived on campus got Julie Lawton experience on two political campaigns as well as internships in the Boston mayor’s office and the Massachusetts Women’s Political Caucus – all within a year.
I think it’s cool that I can connect my classes with what I learned in my internship.
