Student Profiles
Tyler Davis '19
Political Science
For Tyler Davis, a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force, the dream of being a pilot came true at UMass Lowell through Air Force ROTC Detachment 345.
UMass Lowell truly made me a better man. The faculty are amazing; they see their job as a calling, a mission.
Hannah Daly '18
Political Science
Hannah Daly researched the opioid crisis with one professor and the alt-right with another. She’s already published the results of a public opinion survey she helped design, and now she wants to use her research skills to influence public policy on behalf of women.
I really love the Political Science Department at UMass Lowell. The professors really want you to succeed.
Edward Morante '21
English
Edward Morante says his studies in education and English, and his participation in the DifferenceMaker program, are preparing him to teach children of all ages.
I want to become a teacher because I want kids to succeed and enjoy life.
Ron Pannell '19
Human Services Management
In the Master of Public Administration program, Ron Pannell is learning skills he can apply to his job in the Office of Student Engagement at Middlesex Community College – and later, in a housing agency.
The M.P.A. aligns with what I’ve already done in the field of education and provides flexibility if, later, I want to work in another area.
Lisa Degou '18
Political Science & Mathematics
As Student Government Association president, Lisa Degou meets with Chancellor Moloney every month to negotiate for student interests.
I fell in love with all the opportunities and the diversity here.
