Meet Our Students
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.
Kelly Dankese '20
Accounting
As an accounting co-op at iRobot, business administration major Kelly Dankese of Wilmington discovered a symbiotic relationship between what she learned in the classroom and the work she was doing for the Bedford-based tech company.
I didn’t realize how lucky I was to get this co-op at iRobot. They have a lot of women in leadership roles, which was really cool to see. I could tell it was a really good fit for me.
Jack Sullivan '26
Plastics Engineering
Jack Sullivan is gaining hands-on experience through co-ops, research and teaching that is preparing him to design more sustainable solutions for the plastics industry.
I figured I might as well do what the school’s best at, which is plastics engineering.
Grace Chin '20
Computer Science
Great classes and research experience, a professional co-op and a cybersecurity competition are preparing Grace Chin for professional success.
I really lucked out coming to UMass Lowell. I think it’s a hidden gem for computer science.
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.
