✨ Young Alumni Friday ✨
What do I love about UMB?
It’s the people. As an instructor, I’m constantly inspired by the determination, intelligence, and resilience of our students. Every student has a story, and those stories fuel my passion for giving back to this community.
✨ Young Alumni Friday ✨
This week we’re featuring Roman Davis ’14, Health Sciences graduate and current Head of HR 👏
After graduating in 2014, Roman has built an impressive career and continues to stay connected to the Beacon community through the Young Alumni Council.
💙 For this #FeatureFriday, we’re celebrating Haydy George — a proud alum whose journey reflects the spirit and impact of UMass Boston. Her journey exemplifies the lasting impact of the UMB YAC community — where mentorship, opportunity, and connection extend far beyond graduation
🎓 Advice for Incoming Students:
Take advantage of every opportunity - on campus and around the city. Don’t be afraid to try something new, step outside your comfort zone, & talk to people you may not have much in common with. That’s how you grow and truly broaden your horizons
Celebrating the journeys that inspire us ✨
This week’s Young Alumni Feature highlights the passion, perseverance, and purpose that continue long after graduation. We’re so proud to spotlight alumni who are making an impact and carrying our community forward. 💙🎓

The holiday spirit was shining bright at the @UMassBoston Alumni Holiday Reception yesterday! 🎄✨ Thank you to everyone who joined us for an evening of connection, laughter, and celebration. Chancellor @MSuarezOrozco shared exciting news!
❤️ what an awesome gesture by @UMBalumni /@UMassBoston@bostonmarathon team running in honor of the #KrystleCampbell scholarship. They included my brother Matt's name on their singlet for Monday. Still time to support: https://t.co/nqrP95q2S4
Few universities combine excellence and equity, achievement and access, and university and diversity like @UMassBoston.
As Chancellor, Marcelo Suárez-Orozco will continue to lead this mission with passion and inspiration. Congratulations!

The solution to declining college enrollment? Immigrants. Carola Suárez-Orozco and I coauthored an op-ed in @GlobeOpinion outlining what should be done to harness the extraordinary energy of immigrant students. https://t.co/pQ4McHtBzc
