Opportunities to Serve on Local Community Boards

The Provost of UMass Lowell recently sent out this message to University employees:

“The excellence of UML research, teaching, and engagement is receiving increased recognition throughout the region.  As a result, many local nonprofits have begun to contact the university, seeking UML administrators, faculty, and staff who might be willing to share their expertise by serving on boards of local organizations.  I encourage you to respond to this opportunity.” 

John Wooding, Ph.D.
