The chance to travel and experience a new country each year with the Model U.N. team has given me a college experience I never could have imagined.
Emily Makrez ’07, ’09
Psychology
Emily Makrez ’07, ’09 turned her passion for farming, fermenting and foraging into her own business.
Maybe I can’t affect the big factory farms, but I can take care of the soil that I’m currently on.
David Morton '20
Business Administration & Political Science
Whether it’s working to improve campus life as Student Government Association president or responding to an emergency call as a student EMT, David Morton has dedicated himself to making UML a better place.
I never thought I would be this happy at UMass Lowell, but it’s where I belonged.
Rafaela Gonzalez '18
Sociology
Rafaela Gonzalez wants to care for people as individuals and in communities, so she's majoring in sociology and minoring in psychology. She's also started her own business.
I like to encourage people and give them hope - especially teenagers when they have problems and people aren't actually listening.
Anthony Amatucci '25
Economics and Political Science
Honors College student Anthony Amatucci leads the UML Marching Band and the Model U.N. team – and still finds time for a double major, a minor and research.
I always try to find fun in every aspect of what I do.
