Days of Giving is a time when the UMass Lowell community rallies in support of our students – this year’s seventh annual Days of Giving takes place from April 9 to April 11, and we look forward to making it the best one yet.

You are invited to one of the many Days of Giving events below, including a kickoff event with Chancellor Julie Chen at University Crossing on April 9 from 4-6 p.m. Additionally, go to www.uml.edu/umlgives to explore the many ways you can get involved including:

  • Making a donation of any size. Gifts can be directed to support any area of campus that aligns with your passions, including any one of our featured priorities:
    • Career-Connected Experiences: Help students prepare for successful careers.
    • Strive Food Pantry: Increase access to food, housing and other basic needs.
    • Emergency Aid: Assist with student financial challenges by giving to the Student Emergency Needs Fund.
    • First-Generation Students: Provide scholarships, mentoring and academic success.
    • Student Athletes: Sustain student success on and off the field.
  • Becoming an advocate and challenging your friends, family and colleagues to give back.
  • Sharing Days of Giving updates on social media using the giving link and #umlgives.
