Meet Our Students
Nicole Haas '18, '20
Public Health
Nicole Haas always knew she wanted a career helping people. The Master of Public Health major landed an internship with the Revive Recovery Center and is taking on one of the most challenging public health crises of the last 20 years: the opioid epidemic.
These face-to-face experiences are how I learned so much about the recovery community and how to continue finding ways to help people and prevent fatal outcomes.
Sofia Savoca '21
Civil Engineering
Sofia Savoca chose UMass Lowell for the opportunity to be in the Honors College and to study civil engineering. She’s found a dozen new opportunities since arriving on campus.
Opportunities, opportunities – it’s raining opportunities. They’re here if you work hard and know where to look.
Pratibha Gautam '20
Economics
Pratibha Gautam’s job at a medical device incubator inspired her to pursue a career in health economics.
I came to understand that by studying economics, I could ... address equity issues.
Shaila Bornstein '19
Criminal Justice, Political Science
A semester in Washington, D.C., interning with a nonprofit that trains women to run for political office galvanized Shaila Bornstein. As soon as she finishes at UML, she plans to return to Washington to gain political experience so she can run for president.
The opportunities I’ve already gotten here are above and beyond what I could have gotten anywhere else.
David Todisco '18
Political Science
David Todisco says his political science classes, internships and experiences through UML's partnership with The Washington Center are helping him forge a political career.
The Political Science Department here is phenomenal. The faculty all have so much experience they bring to the table.
