Join the UMass Lowell community in celebrating the dedication of the Martin T. Meehan Student Center, honoring Marty for his remarkable generosity, visionary leadership and steadfast service to UMass Lowell. The dedication recognizes his $1.5 million new charitable commitment to the campus. Over the years, Marty has given more than $3.7 million to UMass Lowell and the UMass campuses. We have also raised $2.6 million previously in his honor through his inaugurations as UMass Lowell chancellor and president of the University of Massachusetts system.

Enjoy a weekend featuring the formal dedication of the center, a special showcase of his congressional archives, refreshments and more:
