Hear from Our Faculty & Students
Shakira Fedna '23BiologyShakira Fedna came to UMass Lowell because of the River Hawk Scholars Academy, a support program for first-generation college students.
Everybody you come into contact with in the RHSA wants to see you succeed.
Michael Doane '19Chemical Engineering, BiologyHonors student Michael Doane has won several prestigious fellowships and scholarships for his cancer-related and biofuel research. He says UMass Lowell does a great job of structuring both classes and learning experiences that build on one another.
There are so many different programs and entities that all build on each other and combine to give you anything you’re willing to get out of your undergraduate experience.
Shruti Jain '19Computer ScienceShruti Jain came to UMass Lowell for its hands-on teaching approach. She’s gotten lots of opportunities to apply what she’s learning – as well as a coveted internship with Red Hat.
Once recruiters knew that I was a student at UMass Lowell, you could just see it in their faces – they were really interested in talking to me. People know what UMass Lowell is, and it’s all really positive.
Ijebusonma Agundu '22BiologyTo pursue her dream of becoming a doctor, Sonma Agundu joined MAGIC, a program to help students from underrepresented groups succeed in health care careers.
The MAGIC program made me feel like I could dream big and achieve everything I wanted to.Quick Links
