A Message From
Chancellor Martin T. Meehan ’78
The college experience can be daunting to a student who is often living away
from home for the first time, sometimes the first member of his or her family
with a chance to pursue a degree.
Financial assistance—which often represents a vote of confidence to a student,
along with a connection to an alumnus or a friend of the University—can
prove to be life-altering for scholarship recipients.
In this issue of the UMass Lowell Magazine, you’ll learn about some of the people who give so much
to our students, helping to provide the best education possible. We are deeply grateful to them—
whether the gift is large or small. It all makes a difference.
The generosity of our alumni and friends takes many forms: it may help fund a scholarship, purchase
equipment for a lab, support an academic, research or outreach program or endow a teaching chair.
Every day at the University, we are keenly focused on our students, preparing them to be work ready,
life ready and world ready. But we simply cannot do it alone. We need you—alumni and friends of
the University.
The magazine also helps keep you up-to-date with the latest campus and alumni activities—and they
are many. Browse these pages. Check out www.uml.edu. Or better yet, drop by the campus and
see all the activity for yourself.

Students Help Shape U.S. Senate Debate
UMass Lowell students participated in democracy in action at
an Oct. 4 U.S. Senate Democratic primary debate on campus. Dozens of students played
a role in the event—helping
to shape the debate’s format,
firing off questions as panelists,
serving as timekeepers and
ushers, participating in a
Boston Herald focus group
and suggesting questions via
Facebook and Twitter.
The debate, the first among
Democratic Senate candidates,
attracted a capacity crowd of
nearly 1,000. Co-sponsored by
the newly launched UMass
Lowell Center for Public Opinion, the UMass Lowell Political
Science Club and the Boston
Herald, the event attracted
scores of local and national
media outlets and thousands
of followers online.
Participating candidates
were Tom Conroy, Marisa
DeFranco, Alan Khazei, Bob
Massie, Herb Robinson, Elizabeth Warren and Setti Warren.
Four students served as panelists, asking questions of the
candidates who hope to challenge U.S. Sen. Scott Brown
next year. Their questions
probed both policy positions
such as the withdrawal of U.S.
troops from Afghanistan and
more personal topics like how
the candidates paid for college.
The level of student involvement and the heavy use
of social media will set a new
standard for political debates,
predicted Ryan Bounsy, a senior
political science major who
participated in the Herald’s
focus group of six UMass Lowell students and three faculty
members. During the debate,
focus group members shared
their reactions with a Herald
reporter and formulated a question, which was then posed to
the candidates.
“This is a perfect example
of how an activity like a
political debate can be a real
learning experience for students that they cannot get in
a classroom. As a result, this
enriches their education at
UMass Lowell and engages
them in the community,” said
Prof. Frank Talty, director of
the Center for Public Opinion.
UMass Lowell students participated in the Senate
debate in many ways — as panelists, focus group
members and as timekeepers (above).

The hammers were swinging all summer as two major projects—the
construction of the Emerging Technologies and Innovation Center
(ETIC) on North Campus and the Health and Social Sciences
Building (HSSB) on South—as well as myriad major renovations
took shape.
The ETIC will bring together world-renowned and next-generation

faculty interactions. The building will open in spring 2013.
Meanwhile, O’Leary Library on South Campus is being retooled as the O’Leary Library Learning Commons.
The first floor will offer students a beautiful new resource: a Library Learning Commons with comfortable,
relaxed learning spaces, the latest technology and software and access to the information and assistance they
need to study, collaborate, conduct research and write papers. Starbucks, already open on the first floor, is a great
new plus for students, faculty, staff and visitors.
A University Crossing Steering Committee is considering options for renovations and uses of that facility at
the corner of Pawtucket and Merrimack streets. The plan is that it will serve as a unifying hub with studentfocused activities and services.
Other projects completed or nearly so include upgraded classrooms, residence spaces, faculty offices, labs and
infrastructure improvements.

Prof. Regina M. Panasuk
of the Graduate School of
Education, acclaimed by
fellow faculty members
and students alike for her
outstanding service to
UMass Lowell for nearly two
decades, has been awarded
the distinguished title of
University Professor.
Panasuk is “an exceptional professor … who works
harder than could be reasonably expected of any individual because she loves her
career and is dedicated to
improving the quality of
mathematics education for
all,” says Anita Greenwood,
interim dean of the Graduate School of Education.
The appointment carries
with it a stipend of $10,000,
release from teaching one
class each semester and the
commitment to deliver a
University Professor lecture,
which, in this case, will take
place during the spring 2012
semester. The three-year
appointment, which runs
through August of 2014,
is the highest distinction
bestowed on a UMass Lowell
faculty member.

The Poster Child
Kay Ryan, a former U.S. poet
Laureate and winner of the 2011
Pulitzer Prize for poetry, visited
campus recently.
PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING POET VISITS CAMPUS
Poet Kay Ryan drew a crowd of
approximately 200 for a reading
recently and then kept them
laughing. Ryan, a former U.S.
poet Laureate and winner of the
2011 Pulitzer Prize for poetry, read
from her latest book, “The Best
of It: New and Selected Poems.”
“Kay is highly decorated but
her poems are not,” said English
Department faculty member
Maggie Dietz in her introduction
of the poet. She noted that
Ryan’s poems have been compared to Fabergé eggs or Joseph
N E W S
Cornell boxes, “which is to say
it’s a delight to open them and
discover what’s inside.” Ryan
took the podium declaring that
after such a fine introduction
she felt inspired to go write some
more poems immediately.
English Department Chair
Tony Szczesiul said Ryan’s visit
marked an important day for
the department, which has
grown significantly over the past
two years and recently added a
concentration in creative writing.
Legal Studies Professor Michael E. Jones—who has not only a J.D. from
Miami University, but also an MBA from the Wharton School at the
University of Pennsylvania—is also an accomplished author, district court
judge, globally ranked triathlete and painter.
The last talent has brought his latest honor. Jones was selected to create
the image that will serve as the official triathlon poster for the 2012 Olympics
in London. His original painting will be made into posters and sold throughout
the Olympic venue and at the USA Olympic Trials and national championship
triathlon race.
“It’s a pretty cool honor,” says Jones, who also had paintings selected for
Olympic posters at the 2004 and 2008 games.
The Pelham, N.H., native’s connection
to the Olympics is deep. A teammate of
Mark Spitz on the U.S. national swim
team in the 1970s, Jones made it to the
Olympic Trials in 1972.
“Not all first dreams come true,” he
says. “I’m completely happy with who I
am and how things turned out. So many
athletes live in the past. I respect and
honor the past—but I don’t want to live
in it. After all, I made the Olympic games,
just in a different way.”
The 2012 Olympics triathlon poster
will be based on this painting by Prof.
Michael E. Jones.
Weasels Have Problems, Too
“The Weasel Problem” multimedia installation by Provincetown artists
Zehra Kahn and Tim Winn was on exhibit in the University Gallery in October.
Coordinated by the Art Department and sponsored by the College of Fine Arts,
Humanities, and Social Sciences, the non-profit University Gallery exhibits the
work of regionally and nationally recognized professional artists.

UMass Lowell
Named a Tree
Campus USA
UMass Lowell is New England’s
first college to be designated an
official Tree Campus USA by the
Nebraska-based Arbor Day Foundation. Superintendent of Grounds
Ryan McCaughey says the University
meets five standards for tree care
and community engagement:
a campus tree advisory committee,
a campus tree-care plan, an annual
budget for tree care, involvement
in observing Arbor Day and a
service-learning project aimed
at engaging the student body.
FACULTY TOPS 500
This fall, UMass Lowell reached a
new milestone, as the semester
began with 503 faculty members,
a record for the campus. Overall
enrollments have increased by more
than 30 percent in the past three
years due to improved retention
rates and an increased number of
incoming students. The campus
now has more than 14,000 students,
including undergraduate, graduate
and continuing studies levels. New
faculty members have been recruited across disciplines to respond to
these enrollment increases.
UMASS LOWELL
ONLINE BREAKS RECORD
UMass Lowell saw a record-breaking 18,558 online enrollments in
the last academic year, up more
than 10 percent over a year ago.
Programs include fully online bachelor’s degrees in fields like liberal
arts, psychology and information
technology. Online graduate study
options include 10 master’s degrees
in areas like business administration
and education, and a variety of
certificates. Highly specialized

programs created in response to
demand from employers and
students are another hallmark of
UMass Lowell’s online offerings and
include new certificates in fields
like network security, victim studies
and sleep disorder treatment.
MBA PROGRAM AMONG
BEST IN COUNTRY
For the fifth year in a row,
UMass Lowell’s Manning School
of Business has been named one
of the best business schools in the
country by the Princeton Review.
In its newly published book, “The
Best 294 Business Schools: 2012
Edition,” the education services
company recommends UMass
Lowell as one of the top universities for earning a master’s of
business administration. Enrollment in the University’s MBA
program is up 17 percent this year,
according to Prof. Gary Mucica,
director of graduate programs at
the Manning School. Contributing to that increase is the new
full-time MBA program, which
was introduced this semester, and
the popularity of online courses.
CHECK OUT THE NEW UML.EDU!
After months of research, design iterations and rewriting, the new
UMass Lowell website was launched this fall. Geared toward students,
the color scheme is meant to convey the excitement and momentum
of the campus. The overall design is much wider, providing more space
to display content. It incorporates best practices for higher education
websites, as well as recommendations from a web consultant.
Visitors will notice streamlined navigation, including horizontal topic
areas and pull down menus, flash landing pages with bigger pictures
and video, and seamless incorporation of social media. Future improvements will include a mobile site, multiple languages and personalization. Let us know what you think at www.uml.edu/feedback/.

Luring Tourists Underground
SUBWAY CAMPAIGN FEATURES PROFESSOR MINKKINEN’S PHOTOS
His photographs are displayed in galleries
around the world—including New York’s
Museum of Modern Art, Boston’s Museum
of Fine Arts and Musée d'Élysée in Lausanne, Switzerland. But for Art Prof. Arno
Minkkinen, displaying work in the Paris
underground—on billboards throughout
the city’s Metro stations—is a first.
“The Finnish Tourist Board contacted
me to ask if I would let them use my work
in their efforts to boost tourism from
France,” Minkkinen says. “This has been,
by far, the most wonderful and unusual
display of my work—to be able to promote
my homeland in one of my favorite cities
…wow! Magnifique!”
The images—displayed in high-traffic
metro stations and on billboards throughout
the city—share the beauty of Finland with
minimal supporting text, letting the photographs tell the story.
Closer to home, Minkkinen was recently
selected as the University’s third recipient
of the Nancy Donahue Endowed Professorship in the Arts, created by patrons
Richard and Nancy Donahue to support
the University’s music, art and theater
programs by strengthening ties to local
music, arts and theater communities.
Minkkinen says he’s honored to be
among previous Donahue scholars, Music
Prof. Kay George Roberts and English
Prof. Andre Dubus. “I am indeed honored,
especially considering the first two Donahue
scholars,” he says, adding that he’s using
the position to create exciting community
service applications.

SCHOLAR WINS
NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
Peace activist and UMass
Lowell Greeley Scholar
Leymah Gbowee was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
in October.
“As UMass Lowell’s 2011
Greeley Peace Scholar,
Gbowee contributed to our
understanding of how deep
and lasting conflicts can be
N E W S
resolved through peaceful
means,” says Chancellor
Marty Meehan. “During her
participation earlier this year
in the University’s International Women Leaders
Summit, Gbowee inspired
us with her courage and her
unflagging commitment
to peace and equality. As
Nobel Peace Laureate, she
will continue to mobilize
and unite people.”
Get on the Bus!
What better way to get high school students excited
about the nursing profession than to give them
hands-on experience? UMass Lowell nursing faculty
is taking this idea on the road in the form of a 34foot bus that is home to two realistic mannequins—
birthing mother “Noelle” and newborn “Hal.” By
simulating functions of the human body such as
breathing, crying, talking and assuming medical
conditions, the high-tech mannequins offer students
a fun and intriguing way to find out if the nursing
profession is for them.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services awarded the UMass Lowell Nursing Department
a $298,990 grant for the “On the Move for Nursing’s
Future” mobile simulation laboratory to reach out
to diverse and underserved populations in the Merrimack Valley.
Arno Minkkinen’s work is shown in a Paris Metro
station—one of many installations throughout the city.
“Despite the current down economy, the shortage of nurses is still expected to be significant as the
population ages,” says nursing Prof. Jacqueline
Dowling, the project’s lead manager. “With this
mobile laboratory, we’re able to bring the technology into the community and have the students
interact with the patient simulators in a way that
will engage them.”

From Millworkers
to Microchips:
Lowell’s Journey
to Geekhood
By David Perry
Feeling geeky? Raise your geek flag high. You are not alone. Lowell,
thanks in large part to UMass Lowell, is transcending its history of hard
labor and blue-collar struggle. Brawn is being swapped for brains.
In its annual Science and Engineering Indicators report, the U.S.
National Science Foundation has dubbed greater Lowell the sixth
“geekiest” city in the nation on a Top 20 list. The Mill City is lodged
smack between Durham, N.C., and Washington, D.C. San Jose, Calif.,
in the Silicon Valley, tops the list.
The study measures the percentage of a city’s workforce in occupations
that require at least some technical knowledge or training, including
at least a bachelor’s degree. The report, recently released in Forbes
magazine, says 14.1 percent of the area’s workforce—16,580 workers—
are employed at such technology companies as Kronos Inc., Jabil Circuit
and Juniper Networks. The report includes Billerica and Chelmsford in
the “Lowell area.”
“I find it particularly interesting because Lowell has been traditionally
viewed as a place filled with mills and industrial history,” says Robert
Malloy, UMass Lowell professor and department chair of Plastics
Engineering. “It’s a real indication of how much things have changed.
We’ve gone from an untrained labor force to a work force that is much
more innovative.”
Long before it was known as UMass Lowell, the University was
producing engineers and other brainy grads.
Rich Miner, a partner in Google Ventures and co-founder of Android,
earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science in 1986 and his master’s
in 1989 from then-University of Lowell and his Ph.D. in 1997 from
UMass Lowell. Even in the shadow of some of the best-known engineering
and science schools, UMass Lowell was doing its part to produce workready geeks.
8
“It’s been around for a while,” said Miner by phone from his Cambridge
office. “It’s not new. You had technical companies like Mercury Computer
Systems, Allied, Wang. What this sounds like is the recognition that
there’s a super-bright, well-trained and very skilled student body and
everybody should be recruiting them.”
UMass Lowell is becoming even more deeply woven into the fabric
of the city. It is considered a main feeder to the city’s workforce. With
the University’s dedication to preparing work-ready graduates for life in
the real world, it could get a lot geekier.
“Having the University as a major player in the city’s development
and energy certainly go hand in hand with the creative economy,” says
Lowell City Manager Bernie Lynch. “I think of geeks as being creative
people, big thinkers, people who embrace social media, new technologies.
Geeky is good. Steve Jobs, Barack Obama and Bill Gates are the sort of
names that come to mind. They are considered geeks, or were at one
time. Which says some good things about geeks.”
UMass Lowell’s part in meeting the future head-on is invested deeply
in “nanotechnology, cutting-edge plastics, biodegradables and the like,”
adds Lynch. “They’re forward-thinking things they are putting into the
pipeline, and it is attracting people to the city.”
Like the $70 million Emerging Technologies and Innovation Center
rising on North Campus?
“That’s the idea,” says Malloy. “But you know, I don’t think of our
students as ‘geeks’ in the least. There are some schools known as centers
for such things that might fit the geek tag. I guess the term implies hightech. I think of our students as scientists and engineers, people capable
of understanding things and having an interest in things that not a lot of
people understand. Our students may be smart, but they’re also ready to
work in the mainstream, to work hard, to connect well with people.”

LONGTIME LIBRARY
DIRECTOR RETIRES
The End
of an Era
for NASA
UMass Lowell librarian
Pat Noreau says that
although much in her industry changed during her four
decades at the University,
one thing remains the same:
“I’ve always felt that the
most important thing for a
reference librarian is to be
good at customer service,”
she says.
Noreau would know.
She joined the University in
April 1970, when it was the
Lowell Technological Institute. After the merger of
Lowell State and Lowell
Tech, she became the head
of the unified serials department and subsequently was
appointed head of technical
services. She retired, as
director, this summer.
For all of her years here,
Noreau focused on addressing the needs of her customers: students. But how
she and her co-workers addressed those needs changed
drastically over the years.
For the first half of her
tenure, the emphasis was on
“how large your physical collection is—how many books
and journals you have,” she
Edwin Aguirre, the science and
technology writer in UMass Lowell’s Public Affairs Office, was in
Cape Canaveral, Fla., when the
space shuttle Atlantis embarked
on its final 13-day mission with a
picture-perfect launch this summer.
Witnessed by hundreds of thousands of people gathered at
NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, as
well as millions more glued to live
TV and web broadcasts around
the world, the launch marked the
beginning of the end for America’s
storied three-decades long space
shuttle program.
Atlantis’s primary objective was
to deliver the shuttle payload to
the crew of the orbiting International Space Station (ISS). The cargo
includes a multi-purpose logistics
module filled with spare parts and
nearly five tons of supplies for the
space station, as well as a pair of
Android smartphones that UMass
Lowell alumnus Mark Micire ’10
helped develop. The smartphones
are designed to control a trio
of miniature free-flying robots
residing in the ISS.
Forty seconds after it left the
launch pad for the final time,
Atlantis was gone, but people
could still hear the shuttle’s rattling
sound and follow the dark, curving
shadow cast by its smoke trail on
the cloud tops. “Squinting our eyes
and craning our necks, we tried to
catch one last glimpse of Atlantis
in flight,” Aguirre says. “Soon
afterward, people cheered,
hugged, shook hands and highfived. Everyone had a big smile—
Atlantis had just put on the most
spectacular fireworks of the year,
and we had a ringside seat to it!”

STUDENT, ALUM
KEEP TABS ON NEW
ENGLAND WEATHER
On the afternoon of June 1,
an outbreak of tornadoes
with winds exceeding 135
miles per hour struck western Massachusetts. Residents in Springfield only
had about 10 minutes’ warning that a powerful twister
was approaching their city.
The tornadoes—the
strongest to hit New England since the 1953 twister
in Worcester—killed four
people and left hundreds
more injured or homeless.
Kristina Oakland, a 21year-old student in UMass
Lowell’s Environmental,
Earth and Atmospheric
Sciences Department, was
on her first day as a meteorology intern at the New
England Cable News
(NECN) studio in Newton
when the tornadoes struck.
“It was absolutely crazy!”
she says. “I rushed the alerts
from the National Weather
Service to NECN meteorologist Matt Noyes for his
live TV broadcast. I also
answered the phone and
took down information the
viewers were sending in.
Watching the formation of
the storms on the Doppler
radar was amazing, but at the
same time it was frightening
to see the power of these
tornadoes. I was one of the
first to see pictures and
videos from Springfield and
neighboring towns before
they were aired and I was
speechless. It was a scary,
exciting first day.”
Also interning at NECN
is Heather Jaffe, who graduated from UMass Lowell
in May with a degree in
atmospheric sciences.
“I was in the studio two
days after the tornadoes
struck,” says Jaffe. “The
aftermath was very devastating. Still, we are very fortunate we had such good
coverage of these storms,
giving people at least 10
minutes to take cover in
their basements before the
twisters touched down.
This was my first experience

great to see my students have the opportunity to be engaged in different lab activities
that I don’t have the resources or expertise to provide,” says the science teacher,
referring to the Vibes and Waves program.
Since 2009, the program—which is funded by a five-year $2.4 million grant from
the National Science Foundation—has connected UMass Lowell graduate students in
science, math, education and engineering with high school teachers and students in
the Lowell and Lawrence school districts.
Vibes and Waves helps the grad students learn how to effectively communicate the
nature and significance of their research to a diverse lay audience, and the high school
students get a chance to hear about exciting university-level research they otherwise
wouldn’t be exposed to.
“Being in the classroom and working with high-school students is very fulfilling,”
says Molly Clay, a chemical engineering graduate student. “And being a role model for
them and opening up their eyes to new ideas and research is wonderful.”

Students’ Solar Home
Places Ninth in National Contest
Team Massachusetts—made up of energy engineering students from UMass Lowell
and architecture students from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design—won
ninth place in the U.S. Department of Energy’s biennial Solar Decathlon competition
held in late September in Washington, D.C. The team beat 10 other collegiate teams
from the United States, Canada, Belgium and China.
“This is the best showing ever by any Massachusetts team, public or private, in the
history of the Solar Decathlon,” says Engineering Dean John Ting. “I think we had
one of the most livable, energy-efficient, thoughtfully designed and executed homes.
As proof, I believe we were the first home to be sold to a private owner, with the
proceeds going to help defray the institutional costs of this project.”
A number of donors, sponsors and volunteers contributed materials and services to
the project, including Epoch Homes, which fabricated the house at the company’s
factory in Pembroke, N.H., and Saint-Gobain North America, a global company with
more than 190,000 employees in 64 countries, which donated about 30 different
products used in the construction of the team’s home. Other donors included Nordic
Engineered Wood, Solectria Renewables, Sundrum Solar, Boott Hydropower and Enel
Green Power North America.
The team’s entry—designed to house a family of three and to be completely
powered by the sun—finished fourth in the Affordability category, second in Energy
Balance and fourth in Market Appeal (three of the 10 individual contests that formed
the overall “decathlon”). Overall, the University of Maryland won first place, followed
by Purdue University and Victoria University in New Zealand.
“It was a dream project for us,” says Apurav Jain, who is pursuing a master’s degree
in solar engineering and plans to set up his own solar energy company in India after
graduation. “We received a lot of practical experience and knowledge on how to go
about installing photovoltaic panels and designing our system to comply with the
national electrical code, among other things. It helped us better understand the
concepts we learned in the classroom.”
Other members of the 2011 UMass Lowell team included Christopher Bradley,
John Connor, Milo DiPaola, Erik Jordan, Srilakshmi Kurmana, Tim Lee, Abdelwahed
Nabat, Kemmeng Peng, Raam Perumal, Matthew Polese, Julianne Rhoads,Walter

Washington Internships
Give Capital Gains
Recent UMass Lowell graduate Jeanna McCarthy likens
her summer internship in
Washington, D.C., to a stint
on the reality TV show
“The Apprentice.”
Quick-turnaround group
projects and high-pressure
presentations, complete with
last-minute curveballs, gave
McCarthy a taste of the
real-world demands of the
professional workplace,
all crammed into a 10-week
internship program.
“I learned so much
more than I ever thought
I could in 10 weeks,” says
McCarthy, who interned in
the District of Columbia’s
Office of Contracting and
Procurement. “It was really
rewarding.”
McCarthy, an economics
major, was participating in a
program offered through the
The Washington Center for
Internships and Academic
Seminars (TWC), the
largest program of its kind in
the country. For more than
10 years, dozens of UMass
Lowell students have taken
part in TWC’s programs,
earning up to 12 credits
while working for government agencies, media
outlets, nonprofits, law
firms, lobbyists and private
companies in and around
the nation’s capital.
In addition to doing
internships at places like the
White House, the Department of Homeland Security,
the Washington Post and
the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce, students take
a class and participate in a
leadership forum, which
features guest lectures, tours
and panel discussions with
government, military and
business leaders. They also
complete a community en-
gagement project and prepare a final portfolio of all
their work.
Nicholas Bernardo, a
senior English major, spent
last spring semester writing
scripts, editing videos,
crafting press releases and
sharpening his social media
know-how at a TWC internship with RedEye, a
boutique video production
company in Alexandria, Va.
He had previously done a
communications internship
at the Merrimack Valley
Repertory Theatre, but
wanted more experience to
help him stand out in the
job market. “I needed to
give myself a competitive
edge,” he says. “I thought,

if I can thrive in the
nation’s capital, I can
thrive anywhere.”
Bernardo took a class
called Power, Politics and
Prose, during which he
studied documents such as
the Declaration of Independence and the Gettysburg Address and then
visited related historic sites.
Looking back, Bernardo says
he gained confidence in his
abilities during the fivemonth experience. “I was
challenged to constantly
think outside the box,” he
says. “When I started, I
hated public speaking. Now
I can get up in front of a
group of people. I feel like
a different person.”

Submillimeter-Wave Lab
Awarded $23 Million
In one of the largest single awards ever received by the University, UMass Lowell’s
Submillimeter-Wave Technology Laboratory (STL) received a grant worth $23 million
over five years from the U.S. Army’s National Ground Intelligence Center.
“This grant is a continuation of our program to assist the government in acquiring
and analyzing surveillance radar imagery,” says Physics Prof. Robert Giles, who directs
the STL. “Our research is focused on using terahertz frequency sources and receivers to
scale the Army’s millimeter-wave and microwave airborne radar systems.”
For the past 30 years, the STL has been at the forefront of developing and applying
technologies to help in military surveillance, homeland security, medical diagnostics
and scientific and academic research.
In 1979, then-STL director (now science adviser) Prof. Jerry Waldman recognized
that emerging terahertz source/receiver technologies could be used to simulate the
military’s sophisticated microwave radar systems in the laboratory. These simulations
could then be used to obtain characteristic radar fingerprints of aircraft, ships, tanks,
trucks and other tactical vehicles
at low cost and very high accuracy.
Such radar fingerprints are useful
for quickly identifying whether an
incoming object in the battlefield
is a friend or foe.
Since then, the STL has used
its unique capabilities to fulfill radar
measurement requests from Department of Defense agencies as well
as defense-related laboratories and
companies, including MIT Lincoln
Lab, Boeing, Lockheed-Martin and
Raytheon. STL’s efforts have also

The Massachusetts Medical
Device Development Center
(M2D2), a business incubator at UMass Lowell, has
eight medical device startups
already in residence in its
laboratory and office space.
The incubator is the result
of a $4 million renovation
that has transformed 14,000
square feet of a former mill
building into a state-ofthe-art facility for emerging
companies.
The University supports
those companies with its expertise in engineering, business management, medical
procedures, prototyping and
clinical trials. M2D2 is a
joint initiative of UMass
Lowell and UMass Medical
School in Worcester to help
companies bridge the large
gap between invention
and production of new
medical devices.
Over the past decade,
Massachusetts’ medical device exports have grown at
more than twice the rate of
the state’s overall exports.
The industry employs nearly
25,000 workers in the Commonwealth and is responsible for creating more than
80,000 jobs in related industries, according to a recent
study by the business consulting company Deloitte
Touche Tohmatsu Ltd.
Gov. Deval Patrick’s
administration provided
funding for the renovation
project, which was managed
by the UMass Building
Authority.
“This facility provides
new opportunities for medical device startup companies,” says UMass Lowell
Prof. Stephen McCarthy,
co-director of M2D2.
“The wet labs, together
with expertise offered by engineering faculty, can help
entrepreneurs design
cutting-edge products that
doctors and clinicians will
want to use.”
RESEARCHERS HELP

students to cyberlearning in
the classroom and help prepare them for the deluge of
data produced by modern
science.
“We’ll focus on training
middle school and high
school students to become
‘data scientists’ engaged in
collecting, sharing and visualizing scientific data over
the Internet,” says computer
science Assoc. Prof. Fred
Martin, the project’s principal investigator.
The project’s core technology is an interactive web
platform called the Internet
System for Networked Sensor Experimentation, or
iSENSE—which provides
a shared repository of usercontributed classroom activities, such as tabletop science experiments, environmental analyses, engineering
projects and surveys, together with the data generated
by these activities.

Humanlike Robots
A team of researchers from UMass Lowell, the University
of Michigan and Tufts University recently received a
two-year grant of nearly $1.5 million from the National
Science Foundation to create intelligent robot systems
that will navigate more like humans.
For its part, UMass Lowell will receive nearly $409,000
for the project, with Computer Science Prof. Holly
Yanco as principal investigator.
“Our research will develop and evaluate an intelligent
robot capable of being genuinely useful to a human and
capable of natural dialog with a person about their
shared navigation task,” says Yanco. “In particular, the
robots will be able to ask for directions and clarifications
to those directions.”
The team’s work will be tested in two areas: robot
wheelchairs and telepresence robots. Robotic wheelchairs
help people move to their desired destinations while
telepresence robots serve as virtual eyes and ears for a
remote human operator as the robots navigate within
an environment.
Yanco says this research
will create technologies
for mobility assistance
for people with
disabilities in
perception
(blindness or
low vision),
cognition
(developmental
delay or dementia) or general
frailty (old age).

$4.5 MILLION GRANT WILL IMPROVE EMPLOYEE HEALTH
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has committed
$4.5 million to renew funding of the Center for the Promotion of Health in the
New England Workplace at UMass Lowell and the University of Connecticut.
Originally funded in 2006 with a $5 million grant, the center is a collaborative
research-to-practice program led by Prof. Laura Punnett of Work Environment
at UMass Lowell.
“Our work has made a substantial difference to the health of workers in nursing homes, correctional facilities and other businesses across New England,” says
Punnett. “We’re very excited that NIOSH has awarded this funding so that we
can expand our research to uncover the root causes of how the workplace may
be influencing negative health behaviors.”
For instance, the center is evaluating a program in a chain of more than 200
nursing homes that uses lift devices for residents to prevent back injuries and
musculoskeletal disorders among aides and other caregivers. The team is measuring overall physical and mental health, employee retention, program costs and
workers’ compensation claims.
TRACKING FLU EPIDEMICS VIA TWITTER
Fever. Cough. Sore throat.
Runny nose. Body aches and
headache. Fatigue. These are
some of the classic symptoms
of the flu, a highly contagious respiratory illness
caused by influenza viruses.
Seasonal flu epidemics result
in about 3 to 5 million cases
of severe illness and about
250,000 to 500,000 deaths
worldwide each year.
A team of researchers
from UMass Lowell’s
Computer Science Department, the Harvard Medical
School’s Department of
Population Medicine and
Scientific Systems Co. is
now using online social networks such as Twitter and
Facebook to help improve
the prediction of influenza
levels within a population
and keep track of its spread.
“Studies have shown
that preventive measures
can be taken to contain the
outbreak, provided early
detection can be made,”
says computer science Assoc.
Prof. Benyuan Liu, a member of the team.
Called the Social Network-Enabled Flu Trends,
or SNEFT, the system uses a
continuous data-collection
framework that monitors
all flu-related tweets. The
team’s research is supported
in part with a $200,000
grant from the National
Institutes of Health.
“We consider Twitter
users within the United
States as ‘sensors’ and the
collective message exchanges they post describing
their flu symptoms as
early indicators and robust
predictors of flu activities,”
says Liu.

A brand-new, state-of-the art microscope is further separating UMass Lowell from its peers. The Auriga focused
ion-beam scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM),
manufactured by German optics leader Carl Zeiss, will
greatly enhance the University’s research capabilities in
the areas of nano materials and biological sciences.
“This Zeiss FIB-SEM system can resolve details
as tiny as one nanometer, or a billionth of a meter, and
magnify views up to a million times,” says Earl Ada,
Ph.D., who manages the Campus Materials Characterization Laboratory, where the microscope is located.
“It offers the highest
resolution in scanning
electron microscopy today,” he says. “UMass
Lowell is one of only a
handful of educational
institutions in the
Northeast that has this
advanced capability.”
The purchase of the
$1.3 million microscope
was made possible by a

‘We’re Just Getting
Warmed Up’
By Geoffrey Douglas
Women’s Coach Makes Rowers of Middle-Schoolers, Wins Races Along the Way
“I
feel like I’ve spent my whole life
preparing for this,” says Veronika
Platzer. This from a woman who already, at 48, has prepared for, faced
and surmounted more challenges than
most of us will ever consider.
Three-time NCAA discus champion. NCAA
Female Track and Field Athlete of the Decade.
World Cup rower. Coach of the U.S. Junior National rowing team. Coach of the NCAA National Champion University of Virginia Women’s
Four rowers. Gold medalist—with UMass Lowell
alumna Ginny LaFreniere ’81—in the 2010
FISA World Rowing Masters Regatta. And, for
the past four years, head coach of the UMass
Lowell Women’s Rowing Program.
Still, it is something else altogether for which,
she says, she has spent her life preparing.
Last summer, if you ever happened to be out
on the Merrimack River on a weekday morning,
you might have seen an oversize, ungainly but
nearly untippable, flat-bottom boat—they call
it the Barge—packed with a crowd of 12- and
13-year-olds, laboring over their oars. This was
Platzer’s brainchild: Year One of the UMass
Lowell youth rowing program, designed to bring
the basics of what Coach Platzer says too many
still see as an “elitist sport” into the lives—and
hearts—of the city’s middle-schoolers.
“It’s a hard sport to support,” she concedes. “It’s
expensive, for one thing. And the communitymembers have every right to ask, ‘Just what is
this doing for me?’ Well, I’m trying to create a
community rowing center—both to teach the
sport and to make it accessible—not just for
NCAA athletes, but for everyone who wants to
learn, for citizens of the world.”
And so, working with Cheryl Saba, athletic
director at the Ste. Jeanne d’Arc School, Platzer
launched the new program at the end of the
school year in June, drawing roughly 100 kids
by summer’s end. The cost for the four-day program was $50 per student; David Cormier, president of the UMass Lowell men’s crew, served
as coach. At the end of every week’s program,
he told a reporter in July, he’d have several kids
approach him to ask “if there was some highschool team or club they could join. Some of
them even said they [wanted to] come back and
row for UMass Lowell someday.”
“Giving our athletes [like Cormier] responsibility for coaching is an important piece of the
program,” says Platzer. “It instills in them a real
love, and respect, for the sport. It teaches the
importance of doing things with purpose.
“I’ll tell you, I’m as proud of this program as
I am of anything I’ve done with women’s crew.”
That’s saying something—there’s a lot to be
proud of when it comes to women’s crew.
A program that didn’t have enough rowers to
fill an eight-woman boat when Platzer arrived
four years ago (following a $1 million-dollar infusion of state funding for renovations to Bellegarde Boathouse in 2007, women’s crew last
year made the move to varsity status), now
boasts a Varsity Eight as well as a Varsity Four—
fulfilling the NCAA standard—with a Novice
Four to serve as a feeder for the future. At this
fall’s 32nd annual Textile River Regatta—with
650 boats, the largest one-day rowing event in
the United States—the Varsity Eight placed
third, just 16 seconds behind the winning boat;
in the women’s novice sculling division, firstyear student Erinn McLaughlin captured the
program’s first-ever gold medal.
The next challenge, as of press-time for this
magazine, was to be the Head of the Charles regatta in Cambridge—with 56 events and more
than 1,700 boats, among the largest and most
prestigious in the world—to which UMass Lowell
had been invited.
“I don’t expect us to win anything this year,”
Platzer conceded two weeks before Race Day.
“We’re still in a building mode. But in two or
three more years? Look for us to have a very real
chance.
“Stay tuned. We’re just getting warmed up.”

L I F T S
eticulously curated and stretching along the
long front lobby of Costello Athletic Center,
the display of individual prowess is staggering.
An Olympic silver medalist, a four-time Stanley
Cup winner, All-Americans, record holders,
outstanding student-athletes, even a father and
son known for different sports in different eras.*
The father, a baseball pitcher and batting champ
from 1955 to 1959 named Leo A. Parent, put up numbers
that still make UMass Lowell Athletic Director Dana
Skinner smile.
“Guy pitches 225 innings and strikes out 392.” He
pauses. “Imagine that.”
The son, Leo J. Parent, played basketball here from
1986 to 89, and was named Most Outstanding Player of
the 1988 NCAA Division II Final Four.
Skinner wants everyone to digest all of the individual
accomplishments in the context of pride—they all
happened at the place now called UMass Lowell. The
“Soaring With Pride” display is intended to mend what
Skinner calls “a disconnect,” thanks in part to the name
changes over the years. From Lowell Technological
Institute, to Lowell State College, the University of
Lowell and UMass Lowell, each era is represented as a
way of creating one brand.
“We’ve come to understand that who we are
is who we were,” says Skinner, quoting John Quincy
Adams, from his U.S. Supreme Court argument in the
“Amistad” case.
And we have been good. Fairly amazing, in some
cases. Consider the coaches.
Hockey coach Bill Reilly took the team from frozen
folly to three Division II national championships over
the course of 22 seasons (1969-91). Logging 363 wins, he
also oversaw the team’s transition to Division I and
Hockey East.
Meanwhile, Jim Stone’s tenure as baseball coach from
1966 to 2003 wasn’t just a matter of longevity. Stone also
amassed an 801-393-7 record.
Similarly, George Davis coached the University’s cross
country/track and field team from 1970 to 2002. He led
the 1991 men’s cross country team to a national title and
during his tenure 78 All-Americans and 34 New England
champions emerged from the ranks of Lowell’s teams.

Shannon Hlebichuk wasn’t just an outstanding field
hockey player from 1994 to 1998, she was the University’s
first-ever NCAA Massachusetts Woman of the Year
in 1997-98. After coming back to coach, she led the
River Hawks field hockey squad to national titles in 2005
and 2010.
And sometimes it was the movers and shakers who
broke through barriers.
Denise Legault and Claire Chamberlain began and
nurtured women’s sports at UMass Lowell (then Lowell
State College), beginning in 1972 with volleyball, followed
by basketball, tennis and softball.
But with all of the accomplishment, there was also a
question of identity.
“I’ve been here 25 years now, and I’ve heard so many
people talking about Lowell Tech, Lowell State, U of
Lowell,” says Skinner. “And there was a disconnect
between people from different eras. Our goal here in
everything we do is to make the University a better place
to be, and a better place to be from.”
Four years ago, five alumni approached Skinner. Bob
Boehm, Gary and Jim Hunt, Hank Brown and Skip Roper
asked him to support a fund-raising campaign for a trophy
case named for Jim Ciszek and Rusty Yarnall. Legends of
Lowell sports, the pair were each longtime coaches at
various incarnations of the University, as well as UMass
Lowell Hall of Fame members. The trophy case was the
seed from which grew the Soaring With Pride campaign.
In addition to Costello, there are displays in the
Tsongas Center and throughout other athletic buildings.
It’s been a year since the displays were hung, and Skinner
says he’s heard great feedback.
“Sometimes, at sporting events, I see people standing
in the corridor, looking at the photos and reading the
captions—captivated by reading about the past,” he says.
*So who are these folks? They are among the best to emerge from
the University’s locker rooms. The Olympic silver medalist is
Shelagh Donohue, who rowed here from 1984 to 1988, and
earned the silver at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. The fourtime Stanley Cup winner is Craig MacTavish, who played hockey
at Lowell from 1977 to 1979 before beginning a long pro career
with the Boston Bruins. All-Americans are numerous, but they
include Ruben Sanca, who ran cross country and track and
field from 2005 to 2008. In addition to being a four-time AllAmerican, Sanca was a three-time New England champion. !

Runners Collect Shoes for Third-World Countries
When UMass Lowell junior Steve Fitzsimmons cleaned out his closet earlier this
summer, he was overwhelmed by the number of old running sneakers he found.
He counted 26 pair from high school and his first two years of college.
Fitzsimmons didn’t want to just throw them away. By a distance runner’s
standards, they were tired, flat. But surely someone somewhere could use them.
So he did a search online for donating used running shoes, and found a website
called www.soles4souls.org. He was moved by the videos and photos.
“There was one child who was wearing his mother’s shoes because those were
the only shoes they had for the whole family,” Fitzsimmons says.
The images stuck. The biology major thought about it more and did some
math. He runs 85-90 miles in a typical week. The longevity of a pair running
shoes is about 500 miles, so he figures anywhere between six to eight weeks, he
needs a new pair.
“And I’m just one of 20 to 30 athletes on the men’s [cross country] team,”
Fitzsimmons says.
The Methuen native factored in the 11 other women’s and men’s teams at
UMass Lowell. The potential was overwhelming.
Over the summer, Fitzsimmons brought the idea to Joan Lehoullier, UMass
Lowell’s senior associate director of athletics who oversees the Athletic Department’s
fundraising and community service efforts. Usually, Lehoullier is the one pitching
the community service ideas to UMass Lowell’s athletes.
“I’m always excited when a student-athlete comes to us with an idea for
community service,” Lehoullier says, adding that she immediately registered the
University as a drop location via the Soles4Souls website. Soon after, the
collection boxes arrived.
At the 2011 annual River Hawk Games on Sept. 11, Lehoullier introduced the
effort to UMass Lowell’s 250-plus student-athletes: “A lot of kids came up to us
right away and said it was a great idea,” she says. “Once you get them started,
they’re on board. They’re all looking for a way to help.”
Four days later, the on-campus boxes were overflowing with everything from
Tevas to Bostonians to Nikes. Lehoullier and Fitzsimmons will pack them up and
send them to one of the 10 Soles4Souls warehouses nationwide where they are
cleaned and reconditioned.
“It is something that is relatively easy and does a lot of good,” Fitzsimmons
says. “These shoes are going to people in third-world countries, in crisis relief
situations, people who have never owned a pair of shoes in their lives.” !

Sitting in a downtown Lowell
caffeine emporium, Sammy
Macy pushes her sunglasses up
onto her long brown hair and
takes a sip of her iced coffee.
Though the 22-year-old is a
new graduate of UMass
Lowell, she says she’s doesn’t
plan to stray far.
Macy, recently named the
nation’s top collegiate Division II female athlete, isn’t
leaving the University or its
field hockey team despite
graduating with a 3.12 GPA
in criminal justice last spring.
The three-time first team
All-American worked with
the River Hawks as an assistant coach this past fall, after
a summer of slinging ice cream
at Dandelions in her native
Tewksbury.
Macy is the first-ever New
England recipient of the DII
female athlete award, “which
makes it even more special,”
says Athletic Director Dana
Skinner. He credits Macy’s
“exhilarating play during the
team’s record-breaking 2011
season” with a large part in the
River Hawks’ 24-0 record, but
also believes the “level of excellence she sustained over
four years” was hard-won,
the result of great dedication.
In February, she will begin
a six-month stay in Australia
to play field hockey with a
team in Queensland.
Macy says her rifle-like
field hockey shot—one of
collegiate field hockey’s most
feared trajectories—was the
result of years of playing softball and hockey. Her sharp,
quick swing came from softball, while her stick-handling
skill sprung from ice hockey.
She sometimes played on
three teams simultaneously,
rendering her father a virtual
taxi service.
Macy discovered field
hockey as a high school
freshman, shortly after she
tired of soccer. Field hockey
was, she says, “new and fun,”
and allowed her to put to
good use her strong sense of
competition. At 5’9”, speed
and reach are among her
offensive weapons.
The 2005 Tewksbury High
School graduate nearly didn’t
become a River Hawk. She
was set to follow her older
brother, Brian, to Northeastern, where she would play field
hockey with scholarship money, but she opted for UMass
Lowell the March before
classes began. She sensed she
would want “more balance” in
her collegiate life than she’d
get at Northeastern. Her high
school coach suggested she
talk to Shannon Hlebichuk,
who was all too happy to make
Macy a River Hawk.
“She’d come to some
clinics I’d run, so I knew her
a little bit,” says Hlebichuk.
“Sammy is such a hard worker,
but she also wanted a balance
between her work, social
and academic lives. We could
offer that.”
“I found the perfect
balance here,” says Macy.
“I am so glad I came.” !

From Logan to LAX,
From Safety to Security
By Geoffrey Douglas
Chief Operating Officer Steve Martin ’71 Reflects on a Changing World
O
n the evening of Jan. 23, 1982, World Airways Flight 30, a DC-10-30 on its
way from Newark to Boston’s Logan Airport, skidded on an icy runway,
broke apart and slid into the waters of Boston Harbor. Two passengers in the
plane’s front row were thrown into the water. Their bodies were never recovered.
“O
ur yearly budget, for security and
safety, is in the hundreds of millions of dollars,
probably greater than for any other single
airport in the U.S. It’s just a massive job.”
— Steve Martin ’71
22
F E A T U R E
World Airways Flight 30 in Boston Harbor
Steve Martin ’71,
working at the time
for the Massachusetts
Port Authority, was at
Logan as part of the
team that investigated
the crash. The memory
has stayed with him—
and informed him—
ever since:
“It’s been like this
little tape in my mind: ‘Did we do all that we
could to prevent it?’ ‘What could we have
done differently?’,” says Martin, today the
chief operating officer at Los Angeles World
Airports (LAWA), in charge of LAX and three
other facilities. “The issue in those days was
safety; in today’s world, it’s more geared to security. But the mindset stays with you: ‘Did
we do this?’ ‘Did we do that?’ Have we done
everything we can reasonably do?’”
Martin, who’s been COO at LAWA since
early 2008, is responsible for oversight of all
the airports’ activities: security, administration,
IT, budget, operations, maintenance, commercial development and more. LAX alone, he
says (the world’s sixth-busiest airport, serving
59 million passengers a year) accounts for
roughly 80 percent of his time. Of this, only
15 percent or so is devoted to issues of security.
But it’s an incalculably critical 15 percent.
“There’s a high cognizance of this airport
as a high-profile potential target,” he says by
phone from his office at LAX. “All the federal
agencies have a footprint here—the TSA, the
FBI, all those—plus the LAPD, the airport
police and private security. More people get
arrested here than you’d ever imagine. Our
yearly budget, for security and safety, is in the
hundreds of millions of dollars, probably greater
than for any other single airport in the U.S.
It’s just a massive job.”
Before 9/11, Martin says, airport security
was the provenance of airline contractors, and
began and ended in one spot. No more.
“Now the TSA is in charge, the airlines
are participants, not leaders, in the security
business, and the goal is a layered, continuous
surveillance,” he says, adding that this is especially the case at major airports like LAX.
The layers begin with checkpoints outside
the airport, then continue inside with bombsniffing dogs, patrolling police and TSA agents,
and finally the shoes-off, pockets-empty pre-
S T O R Y
gate security checks—all augmented by the
watch-lists and intelligence gathering that go
on out of sight, and the exhaustive, neverending background checks of everyone from
pilots to baggage handlers and maintenance
employees.
“It’s an endless, daunting, expensive process,”
Martin says. “The passengers, or most of them,
are barely even aware of a lot of it.”
Still, for all the sniffing shepherds, patrolling
uniforms and sophisticated technology, in the
end much of the job comes down to simple
judgment calls, he says: “A passenger has a
gun in his bag, or illegal drugs—is he a terrorist,
a criminal or just a dumb kid? Is he truly a
threat, or just a distraction? That’s a decision
someone has to make.”
One day several years ago, Martin recalls,
airport security officers observed a passenger
with a backpack acting oddly. They approached
him. “I have a bomb in here,” he told them,
and dropped the bag on the ground.
“So what do you do then?” Martin asks.
“Do you close the terminal? Do you close all
nine terminals? Do you shut the whole airport
down? Or is this guy just a distraction? That’s
the call that trained people have to make.”
In the end, Martin says, there was no bomb
in the backpack, and the crisis was defused.
But it might have gone a different way: “A lot
of people, including a lot of law-enforcement
people, get their adrenaline-rush from reacting
to that sort of thing. You can’t be swayed by
that. You’ve got to go with the skilled people,
the ones with training, who stick with protocol—which [in that case] was to bring in a
bomb-sniffing dog, then, if necessary, to get a
robot-device to dispose of the thing.”
For Martin, who brings to his job more
than 25 years of airport and aviation leadership
in both the public and private sectors, it isn’t
so much the prospect of another 9/11, as the
countless small things that go into preventing
one, that keep him awake at night.
“In the end, I guess what I worry about
most is that,” he says, “if something were
to happen, would I be able to look in the
mirror and say I’d done everything I could
have done, everything within reason, to keep
those people safe?”
“You can’t do it all—you can never do it
all. You just aim to get better every day.” !

Campus Gathers a Decade After 9/11
Memorial Honors Those Lost, Focuses on Unity
“UNITY ASKS
US TO REBUILD
AND REPAIR —
REBUILD TRUST
AND REPAIR
RELATIONSHIPS
ACROSS
COMMUNITIES.”
— Campus Minister
Imogene Stulken

A
decade after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks
on America claimed nearly 3,000 lives, UMass
Lowell gathered to remember its own family members lost that day.
In the first of a few events planned to mark the
anniversary, Chancellor Marty Meehan and 120 students,
family members and community officials rededicated
Unity, the 9/11 memorial designed by a trio of UMass
Lowell students.
Set along the Riverwalk near Leitch Hall on East
Campus and originally dedicated May 14, 2004, the
circular stone sculpture was designed by UMass Lowell
art students Gail Milligan and Rebekah Hermans of
Lowell and Janet Wittlinger of Auburn, N.H.
The disc-shaped Unity overlooks the Merrimack River
and carries the names of seven UMass Lowell alumni
and friends lost in the attacks in New York and Washington
D.C.: Douglas Gowell ’71, of Methuen; Robert J. Hayes
’87, of Amesbury; Brian K. Kinney ’95, of Lowell; John
Ogonowski ’72, of Dracut; Patrick Quigley, husband of
Patricia Quigley ’86, of Wellesley; former student Jessica
Sachs of Billerica, daughter of Stephen R. and Karen D.
Sachs, both ’69; and Christopher Zarba of Hopkinton,
who studied here in the 1970s.
By David Perry
Christian Elwood, a senior finance student and resident
of the Student Veterans Association, said the events of
9 /11 convinced him to join the Marine Corps. During
the ceremony, he read the biography of Ogonowski, a
Vietnam veteran and the captain of American Airline
Flight 11, the first of the airliners to be plunged into the
World Trade Center towers by terrorist hijackers.
The day of the attacks was “many things to many people,” Meehan told the assembled. It was “a tragic day
where Americans were brutally murdered, a call to arms
and a turning point in American and world history. But
above all, it will always be about the more than 3,000
Americans who were killed and the 30 families in the
Merrimack Valley who lost a loved one that tragic day.”
However, the Sept. 8 ceremony also served as a rededication to moving forward and mending fractured relationships.
“How can we best honor their memory?” asked Imogene
Stulken of the UMass Lowell Campus Ministry. “How
might each of us commemorate this day with service?
Unity asks us to rebuild and repair—rebuild trust and
repair relationships across communities. Say to yourself
when you visit, ‘to bring more peace to the world,
I will…’ ” !

beans as he and Richard Trubey
(center) meet with Red Barn Coffee
Roasters President Mark Verrochi
to discuss the coffee drying process.
‘We Could Create
Huge Changes’
Brewing Coffee, Saving Forests, Bettering Lives
By Geoffrey Douglas
For Raul Raudales and Richard Trube, an engineer
and a technical writer who met at UMass Lowell as students
more than 20 years ago, world change begins with the
modest coffee bean.
26
F E A T U R E
S T O R Y

heir story, like the story of the coffee they produce
and the men and women who help to produce it,
is a story in many parts: of innovation, technology,
travel, teaching, research grants, and years and
years of work. But it’s as simple in its essence as
that little bean at the heart of your morning cup.
It begins with a problem: throughout the countries of
Central America, where much of the world’s best coffee
is produced, roughly 6,500 hectares—16,000 acres—of
forest are cut each year to supply firewood for the drying
of coffee beans.
“About three square centimeters,” as Richard Trube is
fond of translating it, “for every cup we drink.” It has
been this way, he says, for at least a century.
So might there be a more efficient way? This was the
question that Trube ’86 and Raudales, MS ’93 began to
consider together as students—and have been working
on answering for most of the last 17 years.
Not long after they began, realizing they would need
an entity through which to funnel their efforts, the pair
created a non-profit, the Mesoamerican Development
Institute, centered at UMass Lowell, to research new
ways to dry the beans—and in the process, to create a
more sustainable system. There were a lot experiments,
and a lot of false starts.
“We were in the talking stage,” concedes Trube, “for
quite a long while.”
THE WORLD’S FIRST SOLAR COFFEE
What they came up with, once the talking was done, was
a hybrid dryer that converts discarded coffee bean-husks
into fuel pellets; these in turn were burned with heat
from solar panels to dry the beans just picked from trees.
Then came the hard part: taking the new system to
the source.
The first piece of funding came from Sandia National
Laboratories in New Mexico. Since then, support has
come from myriad sources: the Inter-American Foundation,
the World Bank, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, the Humanist
Institute for Development Cooperation, and—most
recently—the National Science Foundation.
MDI’s new processing facility in Subirana, Yoro, Honduras.
This will be the world’s first coffee processing center to be powered
entirely with renewable energy.
MDI’s high-efficiency drying
chamber in Costa Rica. MDI
co-founder Raul Raudales is
at left.
At this point, there is a dryer in place in a village in
Honduras, where a cooperative of 150 farmers are sharing
the coffee-production work. Once fully operational, there
will no longer be a need to send the beans to remote locations—as far as 200 kilometers away in some cases, says
Trube—to dry in processing centers. The differences this
makes can be measured on a lot of scales: better coffee,
fewer trees lost, lower costs to the farmer.
“We could create huge changes,” Trube says.
The changes are happening on a second front as well.
A five-member consortium of university partners—UMass
Lowell, UMass Amherst and universities in Honduras,
Costa Rica and Nicaragua—is enabling an exchange program of students and faculty, bringing the principles of
sustainable development onto campuses on two continents.
Already, says Trube, half a dozen engineering students
and nearly as many faculty members have made the trip
south, where they do their part in bringing the theories
of solar energy come to life outside of the classroom.
Meanwhile, the product that results—Café Solar—is
coming north: Roasted at Red Barn Coffee Roasters in
Upton, it is now brewed and sold in UMass Lowell dining
halls, the only coffee brand on the market, as far as
anyone knows, produced using industrial solar dryers.
“This is a remarkable, incredibly rare opportunity,”
says UMass Lowell Professor Emeritus William Moeller,
an environmental engineer who has been working with
Trube and Raudales for more than 10 years. “To be able
to do all this, at the same time as you advance educational
research and expand the prestige of the University—
from an educator’s point of view, that’s about as good as
it gets.”
For Richard Trube and his Mesoamerican Development
Institute partners, it’s barely the beginning:
“We want to create a model, and to keep it growing,
until the big companies, the big coffee-makers out there,
come around to adopting the process. That’s the dream
we’re working toward.” !

ABLE TO DO
ALL THIS, AT

obert Manning looked out over his audience
at the Tsongas Center. It was a sea of black,
swathed in mortarboards and gowns. As the
crowd fanned out, there were parents, siblings
and other relatives, friends and mentors.
Manning dressed like the grads. He was one
of them.
He was different, too, of course. At 47, he’d
just committed to a donation of more than
$5 million toward the newly named Manning School of
Business and toward construction of a new school of
business building. He hopes to inspire others.
Harvard has a long line of folks writing checks, he’ll
tell you, but Manning fears too many others believe that
“state schools” are taken care of by the state. “Far from
it,” he says.
The lifelong UMass Lowell booster and former chairman
of the UMass Board of Trustees would like to spark a “pay
it forward”-style trend benefitting state universities. He
is an ardent fan of the energy and dedication Chancellor
Marty Meehan has brought to UMass Lowell.
And he married the former Donna Brown, who seemed
destined to partner with Manning from the moment they
met at Methuen High School. Growing up on a small
farm in Methuen, Donna saw philanthropy before she
knew it had a name.
In his May 28 commencement speech to the largest
class ever to graduate from UMass Lowell, Manning spoke
as one of them. Manning ’84, knew exactly how they felt.
He drove to Lowell from Methuen in 1981 in a car his
parents had bought for him, not sure what to expect but
ready to buckle down. He forged a steely determination
to get everything he could from the college’s finance
classes, earning a degree in business administration. Just
for good measure, he added a minor in computer science.
He did it all in three years.
After graduating, he got a job analyzing speculative
grade debt at MFS Investment Management in Boston.
The company was noted for establishing the first mutual
fund. It turned out to be a good match for Manning.
Now, as CEO and chairman of the global money management firm, he oversees $224 billion in assets and 1,650
employees.
Manning is among the most accomplished of the University’s graduates. Still, he wanted the Class of 2011 to
know he had once been in their shoes. He assured them
their accomplishments lay ahead, thanks to the preparation
they got at UMass Lowell. They’re ready for life, he told
them, for work, for the world.
Preparation trumps luck, he told the Class of 2011 in
a 14-minute commencement address: “You don’t need
good luck. The people you are going to compete against
need it.”

PAYING IT FORWARD
At home in Swampscott, Rob and Donna Manning and
their black Labs, Rose and Willie, survey a very different
scenario. From the dining room, the Atlantic Ocean is a
reminder of how tides change, the water lapping at a
seawall on the edge of the stunning property. Days earlier,
Hurricane Irene tossed sea spray hard against the windows.
“An amazing show,” says Manning of Irene’s bluster.
“You couldn’t even see out there.” He waves a hand at
the windows showcasing a widescreen view of his vast
watery backyard neighbor. This morning, a lobster boat
bobs in the sunshine along the jagged coast.
Manning’s life in finance has made him no stranger to
shaping order from chaos and calm from tension, though
the seaside Swampscott house is for “getting away from”
stress, he says.
The well-equipped gym downstairs, the state-of-theart sound system and the movie area are designed as
refuge for the couple. They’re up at 4:30 a.m. to exercise
and usually in bed by 9:30. There’s little time or yearning
for TV. To really get away, there’s a house in Bretton
Woods, N.H., where Mt. Washington looms in the
distance and ski trails beckon the Mannings, who are
avid skiers and love to snowshoe.
Donna Manning ’85, ’91 also received an honorary
degree at commencement. Donna, who earned nursing
and master’s of business administration degrees from
UMass Lowell, has been an oncology nurse at Boston
Medical Center for the past 27 years. She donates her
salary to the hospital.
The Mannings previously endowed scholarships for
business and nursing students, but this runs deeper. Donna
says they usually don’t like the fuss that surrounds philanthropy, but the notion that this donation might inspire
others convinced them to shed anonymity.
Married 25 years, the Mannings are bookends, a pair.

Rob says he joined MFS with folks with pricey,
prestigious sheepskins under their arms. His UMass Lowell
education served him well. He ascended “not because I
was smarter or worked harder, but because I was better

until they were seniors. That was 31 years ago. They’ve
just never stopped.
They are childless “by design,” he says. “Our lives are
so intense, that to do the few things we do outside of
work, we need time with each other. And we knew it
would be this way.”
Rob credits Donna with nudging him toward philanthropy.
“She’d give away everything I have if I let her,” he
says, smiling.
Growing up, Donna only associated philanthropy with
rich people. But she was part of it when she was 12, after
the barn at the farm next to her parents’ farm burned to
the ground. She and her dad loaded their pick-up truck
with bales of hay. They drove them next door so the surviving animals could eat. She spent the better part of
that summer bailing that hay with her dad.
“I was surprised how easily he gave it away,” Donna
says, since we would probably run out ourselves.”
She remembers many such kind exchanges with neighbors.
“It almost never involved money,” recalls Donna.
“Apparently, I was rich back then.”
Rob recalls one day a few years ago when he felt
everything was good personally and professionally yet ...
something was missing.
“Rob’s parents and my parents made a lot of sacrifices
to send us to school,” says Donna. “We appreciate that,
and try to pass it on to help those who need it. My
parents didn’t go to college, but it clearly meant a lot to
them that we could go, and we decided at this point in
life to pay it forward.”
UMass Lowell offered quality of education at an
affordable price, says Donna.
“Financially, I was able to work and pay for college,
semester to semester,” she says.
‘WE HAVEN’T SEEN THE BEST OF ROB YET’
“I’ll tell you one thing,” says Kevin Perry, an adjunct professor of finance on and off from 1978 to 83. “There is no
lacking for IQ points in that home.”
Rob Manning walked into Perry’s class “genuinely interested in the material, to the point where he wanted
not just to learn it, but to dominate it,” says Perry, who returned to Boston-based Loomis Sayles Co. L.P. as a money
manager in 1983.
“Listen,” he says, “Lowell is a place where working
kids bust their asses trying to make something of themselves.
I was pretty intolerant of people who were not there to
learn. But Rob was exactly
the kind of student you’d
hope you’d have. It’s hard
to look at someone and
say, ‘He’s going to be CEO
of a major financial company.’ But with Rob, you
could think. ‘This is the
kind of person with the
ability to excel.’ He is still
not arrogant in any way,
but you could tell he was
going to do something
significant.”

street in Swampscott. He
got Manning the job interview at MFS.
Perry imagines Manning will be active with his business
school investment:
“I think Rob is committed to what is going on in the
classroom. Some major institutions treat their undergraduates atrociously. That is not acceptable to Rob. He
looks at Lowell and sees enormous opportunity. He values
people who are smart and can hit the ground running,
and a faculty that is committed to active partnerships in
the business world.”
He pauses.
“I think that, quite frankly, we haven’t seen the best
of Rob yet.”
FROM FOOTBALL TO FINANCE
Until he arrived in Lowell, academics hadn’t been a centerpiece of Rob Manning’s life, as they had Donna’s.
He’d been a high school jock, captain of the Methuen

Rob Manning ’84 delivered the commencemnt address in 2011—the largest class ever to graduate from UMass Lowell.
High Rangers football team, playing middle linebacker
and guard.
He was popular and “didn’t have any interest in grades
or where they could get me,” he says.
“I had a lot of fun playing sports,” he explains. “But
Donna was a good example for me.”
Manning says he initially chose UMass Lowell “because
I had a lot of friends here and it was close to home.”
He had long been drawn to the world of finance, and
quickly honed a focus on college academics. He was so
driven he took eight to 10 classes a semester.
The couple point to a foundation built from “extraordinary” role models. Rob’s parents, Dick and Dolores,
worked hard, especially to make certain he made it to
college. His father worked for 38 years at Raytheon Corp.,
earning his engineering degree at age 45, from Fitchburg
State. Part of his career was spent working on the Patriot
Missile project.
Donna and her sisters were also first to attend college
in their family. Her father, Frank, was a machinist.
“They gave us values, including working for everything
you had,” says Rob. “They taught us that work gives you
a sense of pride, a feeling of being accomplished at something. And they taught us honesty and integrity. And
they gave me the greatest gift in the world, an education.
That’s what drives us toward UMass Lowell with philanthropy. We both lived at home, and we couldn’t afford to
go just anywhere. It was up the street and it turned out to
be an excellent school.
“Most private universities are research-driven. The
professors have to publish articles, and that’s what they’re
worried about. At UMass Lowell, it’s always about the
students. I had phenomenal professors who were handson. Every one of them truly cared about the students.
They put their energy and passion into their teaching. It
was amazing. And there was a lot of opportunity to meet
with your professors one-on-one. It wasn’t a case of, well,
I guess I could ... they were there every time. They brought
so much real-world experience into the classroom. There
was just a culture of caring about students and being
around when you needed them. I hope that still exists.”
‘ONE OF LIFE’S GREATEST GIFTS’
Manning’s soulmate helped him see what was missing.
She always has.
“Donna always puts everyone else’s needs before her
own,” he says. “Part of what has driven our philosophy is
her belief that helping others is something you do. I’ve
been lucky enough to make good money. Some folks are
born with a bad hand of cards and we have a responsibility
to help.
“Listen, I saw what UMass Lowell did for me. Affordability and accessibility are two of the greatest gifts
students can have in an education, and an education is
one of life’s greatest gifts. So I figured it was time to give
back money to other people. I have all I need with
Donna and we have all we need and more.”
When word broke of the Mannings’ donation, the reaction was satisfying.
“The outpouring of people, you just would not believe,”
says Manning. “Not just people from UMass Lowell but
from around the state. Emails, handwritten notes, conversations with people. It’s a case of trying to get individuals
and groups to give back. That’s our challenge.”
Rob Manning wanted to tell the graduates what they
really got from UMass Lowell.
“Not only did you learn the subject matter and pass
the tests,” he told the Class of 2011, “you learned how to
be great human beings.”
Maybe they didn’t know it yet. Maybe he was the first
to tell some of them that. But it’s clear Rob Manning believed in them. He was, at least that day, one of them. !

New Building for the Manning School:
‘The Critical Catalyst’
R
oughly 15 months from now, in the
spring of 2013, ground will be broken
on North Campus for what will be the
third jewel in the University’s evolving
crown of new construction: a new building
to house the newly named Manning School of
Business. The school will take its place adjacent
to the also-new Emerging Technology and Innovation Center (ETIC), on the site of the
present Eames Hall.
The planned site, says Manning School of
Business Dean Kathryn Carter, will enable business students and faculty—already located on
North Campus—to continue working closely
with those in science and engineering programs.
The new building for the Manning School
of Business will complement the ETIC and the
new, $40 million Health and Social Sciences
Building on South Campus, both of which
broke ground in 2011—the first new academic
buildings to arrive on campus in more than
three decades. At 65,000 square feet, with a
bold, tiered façade rising four stories overlooking
University Avenue, its cost is estimated at $30
million, roughly a third of which will be raised
from private sources, according to Steven Rogers,
senior major gifts officer in the University’s
Advancement Office. The single largest endowment, $5 million, is the result of a endowment
from Robert and Donna Manning, both UMass
Lowell graduates (see accompanying story),
whose name the School will carry.
Other major donors to the new building’s
construction include Richard Grande ’72, senior
vice president at Morgan Stanley; Kathleen
Allen ’77, formerly vice president of Millipore
Corp. and James Regan ’88, CEO of Digital
Credit Union. As of mid-September, more than
$1 million of private funding had been raised—
in addition to the $5 million from the Mannings—with another $10-12 million being
sought from the School’s alumni and friends.
While the business school will carry the Manning
name in recognition of the couple’s gift, the
building itself—and very likely some of its features—will be named to recognize one or more
other donors.
“Its coming is long overdue,” says Morgan
Stanley’s Grande, “and couldn’t possibly be
more welcome. Along with other things, it’s
likely to attract additional strong faculty, which
in turn will attract better students. The result
32
of this, over time, I think will be predictable—
a marked upgrade in the visibility, quality and
culture of the business school, and of the University in general.”
The Manning School’s dean is another
who believes, like Grande, that the building
will play an inestimable role in ushering in a
new era:
“The construction of an appropriate and
competitive professional business school as a
home to our activities is the catalyst that will
visibly advance us,” says Carter. “We’ve been
at a tipping point for a few years now—actively
improving our faculty and student profile,
developing new, relevant academic programs,
expanding and deepening our corporate partnerships and adding experiential learning opportunities for our students. ”
Even before the announcement of the Mannings’ gift, says Carter, the college—which has
graduated more than 13,000 students in its 53
years and carries an annual enrollment of roughly
2,200—was already well into the process of a
strategic realignment. At the undergraduate
level, the School has increased its honors opportunities, expanded its study-abroad opportunities and added research scholarships—at
the same time expanding and formalizing its
students’ options for experiential learning. Undergraduate enrollment, as a whole, will remain
stable; the freshman class will be slightly smaller
and more selective.
At the graduate level, a planned shift in student population—to be achieved through the
addition of the master’s program in Innovation
and Technological Entrepreneurship, the launch
of the full-time, day MBA program and the fall
2012 kick-off of a master’s program in accounting—will result in a significant expansion of
master’s level enrollment.
Also, and most importantly, says Dean Carter:
“We expect final approval of our Ph.D. in
business administration, with concentrations
in technology management, international business, finance, MIS and leadership. This program
should launch within the next two years, with
an entering class of nine full-time and nine
part-time students.”
This improved enrollment profile, the dean
says, with its larger graduate enrollment and
better-quality undergraduate population, “will
Donna and Rob Manning visit with Kathryn Carter,

support our ongoing efforts to recruit highquality faculty and students and strengthen our
research capabilities.”
The new building will provide the features
and spaces required for a competitive business
school today. On its ground floor alone: a fully
active trading room, enabling students and
faculty to conduct real-time research on global
companies, industries, economies and currencies;
a business development center, located very
visibly nearby, to serve as a hub for interactions
and active group learning; as well as a home for
a limited number of incubator companies. And
anchoring it all, a coffee shop/meeting space,
located within sight of both the trading room
and the business center—allowing for collaboration, networking and socialization.
“I believe the first floor of the new building
will be an energetic destination space for many
students and faculty on North Campus, perhaps
the most vibrant space North Campus has ever
seen,” says Carter.
The upper floors will be no less impressive:
office space for faculty, staff and graduate
students; work space for undergraduates, classrooms and meeting spaces for faculty and
students—as well as dedicated space for various
student initiatives, such as the honors and
study-abroad programs.
“The new building,” says Carter, “will reflect
and support our priorities for high-quality
education and research, student and faculty
interaction and interdisciplinary, experiential
learning. I see it as the critical catalyst to propel
us to excellence.” !

The Kindness of Strangers
S T O R Y
By Sheila Eppolito
Surprise Donor Gives Haitian Student the Opportunity of a Lifetime
P
ouchon Jean Amazan isn’t a gambler—he is,
instead, a logical man of science. But even Amazan
has to admit that the chance encounter 30,000
feet up in the air that changed the course of his
life was an astounding stroke of luck.
Amazan—the son of Haitian farmers—showed promise
in math and science early on, catching the notice of
private school instructors and one compassionate scientist
—Prof. Bob Giles—from the United States. Giles joined
his daughter as a chaperone on her youth group’s trip to
Haiti in 2003, and was forever changed by what he saw.
“Haiti is the poorest and most densely populated
country in our part of the hemisphere,” says Giles,
chairman of the Physics Department. “Aggravated by
soil erosion, drought and famine, the country has been
identified with fourth world status by the International
Banking System.”
Haitian student Pouchon Jean Amazan, third from left, meets his
benefactors Cumberland Farms Director George Haseotes, second
from left, and Kristen Williams, right, who learned about Amazan
during a plane ride with Prof. Bob Giles, far left.
Despite the brutal conditions, Giles saw possibility in
the faces of the Haitian people, and set his mind to doing
something to help.
Amazan is but one of dozens of students Giles has supported—educationally and financially—since his life
changing trip. Giles met Amazan through a network of
American colleagues, travel companions and advisors in
Haiti. He provided mentoring—and personal investment
—for Amazan for five years before encouraging him to
apply to the University to pursue a degree in physics.
Amazan was accepted, but fell $8,000 short of the
funds he’d need to attend.
Enter Kristen Williams.
Fresh from a cruise with her children with several
stops in countries that struggle to meet basic needs,
Williams, who was “disgusted by the contradictory overall
excess and waste of food on board ship,” struck up a conversation with the man in the airplane seat next to her.
“We got to talking, and I realized I was sitting with a
prestigious educator who was committed to training
young people to change the world,” says Williams, who,
along with husband George Haseotes, runs a charitable
foundation committed to improving education.
“My husband’s Greek immigrant family founded Cumberland Farms, and through generations of hard work
and dedication, the company has enjoyed financial
success,” says Williams. Cumberland Farms’ family founders
are quintessential believers in and examples of, the power
of hard work and education in realizing success.
Out comes the checkbook.
Williams was so moved by Giles’ story—and Amazan’s
potential – that she wrote a check on the spot. Not for
the praise the gift might earn—in fact, she is downright
reticent when her generosity is touted.
“My interest in philanthropy is in helping people who
can affect real change in the world,” says Williams.
“When Prof. Giles described the work he does, and the
kind of improvements in basic human needs a man like
Pouchon can make, it was a no-brainer for us to support
the cause.”
Amazan has settled in nicely at the University, and is
excited about his future. He also was delighted to see
snow for the first time, sharing the moment with his
mother during one of the calls Giles encourages him to
make on Gile’s phone.
For Giles, helping dozens of students isn’t enough—
he’s working on developing a University research program
to further expand student and faculty involvement in
Haiti. As for Williams, she continues her quiet, dogged
pursuit of investing in causes and people like Pouchon
who can use their minds to improve the world.
“There’s something very exciting about helping
students get excited about turning problems into solutions,”
she says. !

From Haverhill
to Hollywood:
‘A Happy Accident’
By David Perry

F E A T U R E
S T O R Y
Despite Best-sellers and Film Deals, Andre Dubus III
Is Staying Put at UMass Lowell
I
n his youth, author and UMass Lowell
English professor Andre Dubus III built
his body into a fortress of muscle, blood
and tissue. Relentlessly pumping weights
and adhering to a strict diet, he carefully
cultivated musculature to better proffer
violence in the bars of Haverhill and
Newburyport. He refined his technique in the
boxing ring.
The physical walls he erected hid a scared,
bullied and abandoned young man, whose tale
is spread across the pages of Dubus’ acclaimed
memoir, “Townie.”
It was in the world of letters that Dubus
found his soul, his profession and his obsession.
Now 52, still fit and looking much younger,
Dubus has built words into a string of bestselling books.
He calls his career a “happy accident.” In
2001, he became the University’s first Kerouac
Writer-in-Residence. For the past seven years,
he has shared his wisdom with classes of UMass
Lowell students, last semester teaching a pair
of Creative Writing classes that meet Tuesdays
and Wednesdays.
“I really love being around young people,
and I love the Lowell scene,” Dubus says. “All
kinds of students,
including the kind
of people I grew up
with. I feel attuned
here.”
Despite a growing fame, a demanding schedule
and overtures from
other colleges and
universities, he isn’t
going anywhere
soon.
BUILDING A LIFE
While gradually building a literary career, Dubus
also built a home. Literally. Not just any home,
but a 6,700-square foot beauty, near which
much of “Townie” took place. A mix of art and
athleticism, the home he built with his own
hands has proven roomy and sturdy enough to
withstand games of football catch from the
kitchen into the family room. Its dimensions
may be palatial, but the huge living room with
the dramatic stone fireplace is built for comfort.
Downstairs is where he writes, in a room
five feet wide, six feet from floor to ceiling, 11
feet long and sound-proof.
“The prison,” he says, chuckling. “It’s like a
jail cell.”
He sentences himself to write there, six days
a week, “until my concentration starts to fade.”
He is a proud Luddite, who writes in longhand.
He answers emails from time to time, but laughs
at the notion of riding the “digital train”: “Facebook? Twitter? Ha!”
As Dubus—son of the celebrated short story
writer Andre Dubus—has cultivated his career
in the classrooms of UMass Lowell, fame and
critical and popular acclaim have followed the
release of each new book.
“I REALLY LOVE BEING AROUND
YOUNG PEOPLE, AND I LOVE
THE LOWELL SCENE. ALL KINDS
OF STUDENTS, INCLUDING
THE KIND OF PEOPLE
I GREW UP WITH.
I FEEL ATTUNED THERE.”
And when Oprah Winfrey named Dubus’
“House of Sand and Fog” a selection of her
book club, he became even more popular.
He has been serenaded by other colleges
and universities near and far to teach their
prospective writers. The previous week, he says,
stretching out his legs to prop the heel of a
pointy boot on a coffee table, a Lone Star State
university called waving a Texas-sized offer.
Dubus is flattered but says he isn’t going
anywhere: “I love it where I am now. UMass
Lowell has been great to me.”
He still can’t believe he made a career of
this. He wasn’t trying, he says.
His kids attend private school. The house is
big, though hardly one that announces itself to
the world. His name is big. But a fan of junkyard
piano poet Tom Waits, Dubus treats writing
like workaday labor. He strives to hang on to
his blue-collar roots.
DEATH THREATS AND MOVIE DEALS
In Haverhill, where Dubus grew up, “Townie”
is known as “the book.” It is a naked recollection
that the writer struggled to get right. He even
called old friends and family members to crosscheck details.
When he did a book signing there, 600
people showed up. The author says “Townie”
has spawned three basic reactions: “I can’t
believe how perfectly you nailed this place!” is
the most pleasant.
“Then there’s ‘I don’t know what Haverhill
you’re writing about,’ ” he says. “And the third:
threats on my life.”
The Haverhill Dubus writes about is one
he’ll never forget. His roots are there, he
explains, and they are excavated in “Townie,”
which recounts in painstaking detail Dubus’
hardscrabble youth in 1970s Haverhill and
Newburyport.
A lot has changed since those days.
When Dubus received Chancellor Marty
Meehan’s Medal of Recognition during last
May’s Commencement ceremony, he told
students not to worry so much about “success.”
He told them to find something unique about
themselves and cultivate it—and then success
will follow.
It’s a formula that’s worked for him.
“Townie” has been optioned for the silver
screen by Gina Amoroso, co-producer of 2008’s
“Revolutionary Road.” Amoroso also helped
bring “Being John Malkovich” to the big screen
in 1999.
Dubus will write the script with a veteran
English scriptwriter.
“There’s just too much at stake for me not
to be involved,” he says. “This is me, my family,
my friends.”
Son Austin is in his first semester at Miami
University in Ohio, having left Dubus and his
wife of 22 years, Fontaine, with Ariadne, 16,
and Elias, 14.
Fontaine is owner and director of The Dance
Place, a studio in Newburyport where Ariadne
dances. The boys are dedicated “and pretty
damn good” baseball players, according to their
father.
In a room off the kitchen, Dubus has stacked
hundreds of his father’s books in vertical piles,
as if there are ghosts in the room.
“I finally took them out of storage,” he says.
“I thought I could give them away, but ...” He
couldn’t. He will soon build shelves. !

Face of Philanthropy
By Geoffrey Douglas
Saving Lives and Growing Grapes
Forty Years After Graduation, This Chemical Engineer is Still not Slowing Down
H
is dad was a truck salesman, his mother
a psychiatric social worker. It was the
late ’60s; there were three children in
the house, and not much extra to go
around. So when the time came to think
about colleges, Bob Ward remembers, the
decision pretty much made itself.
“I think the tuition [at Lowell Tech] was
something like $200 a semester,” he says. “Whatever it was, it was a bargain—which was the
number-one factor in my mind.”
He had a job on weekends, another in the
summers. And the family lived in Reading,
which made for a long commute. So between
classes, studies, job-time and drive-time, there
weren’t a lot of hours left in the week. “To be
honest,” he says, “it was a drag sometimes.”
Somehow, though, he found time to pursue
two of his passions: the bass guitar (“when I
probably should have been studying instead”)
and a young Merrimack College student named
Gail, who was studying to be a microbiologist.
He graduated in the spring of 1971 with a
degree in chemical engineering. He and Gail
were married three weeks later. Only weeks
after that, he began his first real-world job: at
the Avco-Everett Research Laboratory in Everett,
a division of the Avco Corp. It was the start of
an extraordinary career, in a field—biomaterials—that was itself only then getting its start.
He stayed until 1978. By the time he left, as
director of research in Avco’s Medical Products
Division, he had helped oversee the commercial
development of a pioneer product: the intraaortic balloon pump, the world’s first, commercially available cardiac assistance device. Still
in use today, it has been used worldwide on
3 million people, saving countless lives.
Bob Ward had found his niche—and his
next employer: Thoratec Laboratories in Berkeley,
Calif., a start-up that designed, manufactured
and sold products for heart-failure patients—
and that had just completed financing for yet
another pioneer product: the first commercial
Ventricular Assistance Device (VAD), a mechanical invention used to replace the circulatory
functioning of a failing heart.
By the time he left Thoratec 10 years later—as president of its Biomaterials Division—
the VAD was in full-scale commercial develop-
36
ment, well on its way to becoming the world’s
most popular cardiac-assistance device. Today,
Thoratec is a publicly traded, global corporation,
with 1,100 employees and yearly revenues of
more than $300 million.
MATTERS OF THE HEART
Ward’s next career step was his boldest. In
1989, he founded Polymer Technology Group
(PTG). For the next 19 years, as founder and
CEO, Ward oversaw the Berkeley, Calif.-based
company’s growth, guiding the application of
PTG polymers and specialty chemicals for use
across myriad specialties: in pacemakers, orthopedic implants, catheters, stents, implantable
sensors and artificial hearts. Its early work in
the development of contact lenses made from a
mix of silicone-hydrogel polymers set the standard
for such lenses worldwide—and made a fortune
for the company.
The world, of course, had taken notice. In
the spring of 2008, PTG was acquired by the
Dutch giant Royal DSM, a global life-sciences
company with 22,000 employees and more than
$6 billion in sales. Ward was asked to stay on as
president and CEO of the newly formed DSM
PTG.
Yet another major move came at the start of
2011: the chairmanship of the PTG spin-off
Emergence, founded in 2007 to provide inventors
and entrepreneurs with both technical expertise
and initial seed money to bring new medical
products to market. It wasn’t long before the
venture was proclaiming an early success.
ExThera Medical Corp., a company within
the Emergence incubator, announced early this
summer the development of a new product,
Seraph, for the treatment of sepsis (or blood
poisoning). While other medical treatments for
sepsis rely on antibiotics and are only partially
successful, Seraph—based on a blood-cleansing
process known as apheresis—aims to empower
the body’s immune system to fight the disease.
Early laboratory studies, Ward said when news
of the breakthrough was first announced in
June, “strongly suggest the likelihood that [Seraph] may become an effective treatment.”
And so it is that, 40 years after earning his
diploma as a bass-playing LTI commuter student,
Ward has built a name for himself at the very
top of his no-longer-new profession:
“Bob Ward is without peer in manufacturing
polymeric biomaterials for application in the
hostile environment of the human body,” wrote
James M. Anderson, a Case Western professor
and editor-in-chief of the Journal of Biomedical
Materials Research.
But his contributions aren’t confined to the
biomaterials field. The Wards recently committed
nearly $1 million in support of University initiatives. When $2 million was gifted last year
to UMass Lowell to create professorships in science and engineering—part of a $14 million
anonymous gift to the UMass system from the
sale of land on Nantucket—Bob was one of
five alumni to put up the funds to match it, creating the $600,000 Robert and Gail Ward Endowed Professorship in Biomedical Materials
Development. Gail was born on Nantucket, he
says, “so that gives this gift special meaning.”
He has also given $250,000 toward funding for
the new Emerging Technologies and Innovation
Center, creating the Robert and Gail Ward
Biomedical Materials Laboratory, and another
$100,000 to create an endowed scholarship
fund for engineering students.
“Support for public education is such an important priority,” he says. “Public universities
are a critical antidote to the concentration of
wealth in the hands of a very few, something, I
think, that’s getting worse as time passes. It’s
really so important that anyone from anywhere
who wants it has access to an education.”
Meanwhile, as active as he is, Ward still
finds time for the guitar, now as part of a group
near his home. But his real passion these days—
outside of scouting the life-science companies
of tomorrow—is something else entirely: the
growing of grapes for Syrah (or Shiraz) wine.
“We bought a house and small vineyard,
two years ago, in Orinda [Calif.], where we
have about 70 vines,” he says. “Gail’s even
more involved than I am—she’s taking courses
in viticulture at Napa Valley State College.
She good at it, being the microbiologist she is.
For me, it’s kind of an extension of the beermaking I used to do as a kid. Just more involved,
and a lot more expensive.
“It’s fun, though. And this year looks like
it’s going to be a great yield.” !
A L U M N I

“P
ublic universities are
a critical antidote to the
concentration of wealth in
the hands of a very few,
something, I think, that’s
getting worse and worse as
time passes. It’s really so
important that anyone from
anywhere who wants it has
access to an education.
So whatever I’m able to do
toward that goal, I’m happy
to try to do.”

with my own eyes.”
Tang’s teenage son, Sidney—who was named
after a character in the film “The Killing
Fields”—heard about this for the first time
while sitting in a room on UMass Lowell’s
South Campus.
He nervously asked his father more questions
about the Khmer Rouge, about where he grew
up, about family members he never met.
As the elder Tang recounted the gripping
stories from his past, understanding dawned in
his son’s eyes. This is why you are the way you
are, he seemed to think.
And it’s why, more than anything, George

“This is heaven for you. You’re lucky to be

Pat Fontaine, an assistant professor of history
education in the University’s Graduate School
of Education.
Fontaine was talking to a friend one day
when the latter, a literary specialist at the
Bartlett Middle School in Lowell, mentioned
that she was worried about a particular group of
Cambodian students.
“She said, ‘This is really bothering me … It
looks like these eighth-graders are joining gangs,’
recalls Fontaine. “She said that after talking to
them, it was clear that the main reason was
that they lacked a certain identity.

Circle of Distinction
The Few, Whose Generosity Lights the Way
I
t is a rare thing, in this era of trilliondollar deficits, default threats and mortgage
foreclosures, to hear talk of new economic
frontiers. Which makes the news
celebrated here in October that much
more remarkable.
Today, four years into the chancellorship of
Marty Meehan—and thanks in good part to his
efforts—there are nearly a dozen high-level benefactors. In fact, fundraising has grown by 84 percent—gifts and pledges have grown by $7 million
since 2007, from $8.2 million to $15.2 million.
Ten of the men and women responsible for
much of that growth were honored on Oct. 27
at the UMass Lowell Inn & Conference Center.
During the Chancellor’s inaugural Leadership
Society reception, all 10—whose collective
support of the University exceeds $35 million—
were formally welcomed into the University’s
newly minted Circle of Distinction, a society of
top benefactors who have made generous contributions over their lifetimes.
40
The support of these 10 donors, much of it
recent, has resulted in the creation of many
hundreds of scholarships, endowments, professorships and infrastructure improvements—which
in turn have directly touched the lives of UMass
Lowell students, and will continue to do so for
decades to come.
“The generosity of these few men and women
has literally transformed the University,” says
UMass Lowell Vice Chancellor for Advancement
Edward Chiu. “On the strength of their gifts, we
are able to achieve goals that will take us to the
next level. Their impact on our students, through
the scholarships, facilities, professorships and
faculty chairs they have endowed, is almost
beyond measure.”
Perhaps the most recent arrivals to the group
have been Robert and Donna Manning, whose
gift toward the creation of a new home for the
University’s business school is outlined in the
cover story of this issue. Other outstanding examples of support, some of them nearly as recent,
have likewise added to the University skyline.
These include gifts by alumni John Kennedy
’70, Bob Ward ’71 and Mark Saab ’81 and his
wife Elisia, earlier this year, to finance parts of
the University’s new, $70 million Emerging Technologies and Innovation Center (ETIC), slated
to open in the fall of 2012. The Saabs are responsible also for the creation of an endowed
professorship in green plastics, gifted to the University in 2008. A second gift, received the same
year from James Dandeneau ’80—another of the
10—likewise endows a green-plastics professorship.
Ward, in addition to his support for the ETIC
construction, was also the source of a gift in
2010 to create a professorship in biochemistry.
(He, like the Mannings, is the subject of a
separate story in this issue.)
The gifts from other members of the 10,
though less visible from the air or roadside, are
every bit as critical to the University’s longterm future—and to the future of the larger
world. The contributions, for instance, of David
Pernick ’41, endow a Plastics professorship;
provide scholarships to students in both man-

Roy Zuckerberg ’58 has helped fund the recruitment of exceptional out-of-state students;
endowed the Zuckerberg Chair in Leadership,
rewarding faculty and staff for outstanding leadership in their departments; and supported the
Assistive Technology Program within the Department of Electrical Engineering.
The name Charlie Hoff ’66 might be familiar
to more students at the University than that of
any other of the 10. Hoff, over the past 20-plus
years, has been responsible for scholarship funds
for at least 551 UMass Lowell students—many
he and members of his family have met with
personally—as well as aid to other UMass campuses. The numbers continue to grow.
Gururaj (“Desh”) Deshpande, the only one
of the 10 not an alumnus, is unique as a benefactor
in other ways as well. A native of India, he has
donated to support the advancement of business
and technology in his country, including a large
gift to help UMass Lowell to advance collaboration
between United States and Indian engineering
students, and support grants to promote entrepreneurship in the Merrimack Valley.
Mary Jo Leahey* ’37, the only one among the
10 who could compete with Charlie Hoff for
name recognition among current students, was a
legend among those with a longer history here.
She has supported scholarships for local high
school student-musicians at a yearly, week-long
residential summer band camp on the UMass
Lowell campus. The camp, headed by Deb Huber,
associate director of University bands, has been
a summer highpoint for many hundreds of area
youngsters since its founding 16 years ago. !
*Note: As the magazine went to press, the University received the sad news that Mary Jo Leahey ’37
died at her home in Florida. Look for a profile on Mary Jo in the next issue.

CLASS OF 1980
Inspired by Catastrophe,
Today She Makes Music for Peace
Opportunity, as we all know, sometimes comes in
unlikely guises. But few unlikelier than the one it
took for Gael Berberick ’80 in the spring of 1995.
She was living with her husband and their four
children in Fort Sill, Okla., where her husband had
then been stationed for two years. It was the day
after the Oklahoma City bombing; she was on her
way to a sing-along at her daughter’s school.
“I didn’t have a
song to sing,” she recently told a reporter
in Rhode Island, “but
all of a sudden this
beautiful song just
came [to me].”
She wrote down
its beginning in the
car on the way to the
school, the following
four verses later at home. The next day, “Hope for
Peace” was performed at St. John of God’s Parish in
Fort Sill, where she worked as a church musician.
Not long after, it started airing on local radio—and
is still heard regularly on stations throughout the
Midwest. The song earned her $3,500, which she
donated to a scholarship fund for the children of
some of the bombing victims.
It was the first of many such songs Berberick
would publish, though she had been involved with
sacred music for years—beginning as a young girl in
Marshfield, singing and playing the guitar for her
local parish. Writing songs, though, had begun later
for her: inspired by the day, in 1989 in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, when she’d discovered liturgical
music. “It was the most uplifting music I had ever
heard in the Catholic Church,” she would remember
later. [From that moment on] I wanted to write
music for the Church.”
And so she did. Not long after, she began
composing songs and sending them off to liturgical
publishers; but until “Hope for Peace,” none would
see the light of day.
The rejection letters, though, are long behind
her now. As of early this year, Berberick had published
more than 50 songs with liturgical- music publishers—including the recent “Mass of the New
Covenant,” co-written with Barney Walker, which
was introduced in Catholic parishes beginning in
November. “You don’t make a living doing this
kind of work,” says Berberick, who is orchestra
director at Tiverton High School in Rhode Island.
“You have to have some higher calling—a vocation.”

CLASS OF 1973
By Sheila Eppolito
Actresses, from left, Sheriden Thomas, Ellen Colton and Cheryl McMahon perform Jack Neary’s
“The Porch” at the Stoneham Theatre.
Jack Neary: The Unpretentious Playwright of Lowell
Precisely at 9 a.m.—the appointed meeting
time—actor, director and playwright Jack
Neary ’73 is outside the River View Diner,
checking his phone to make sure I haven’t
canceled or gotten lost. Signature Red Sox
hat perched atop an engaging Irish mug, his
handshake reveals a bit of shyness.
Without looking at the menu—it’s clear
he’s been here before—he orders up an omelet.
I do, too, but I skip the home fries, explaining
that I’m trying to “behave.” He tells me he’s
behaving, too, by skipping the bacon.
I tell him I’m awestruck—this man has
published 34 plays, in addition to his storied
career directing, acting and serving as artistic
director of the summer theater programs at
Mount Holyoke and Northampton’s New
Century Theatre, which he co-founded at
Smith College. His work has been widely
produced; perhaps his best-known work, “Jerry
Finnegan’s Sister,” was performed all over
the country, played in Paris and toured France.
“To Forgive, Divine,” professionally introduced
at the Merrimack Repertory Theatre, was
purchased for film by Walt Disney Pictures.
I confess that I’ve read every available excerpt online. “Jesus Christ!” he responds.
“Seriously?”
This reaction is indicative of a special
kind of Irishman. The antithesis of the often
typecast Lucky Charms rogue, Neary is a
man who won’t—for a single minute—get
too full of himself.
“My great uncle was right off the boat
from Ireland. I remember him sitting with
48
my uncle at the table, going on about how
he was hit by ‘the very first automobile ever
driven in Ireland!’ He goes on and on with
the story, and my uncle is just looking at him
straight in the eye. At the end of the story,
my uncle simply says, ‘That is a lie.’ ”
His favorite playwrights include Neil Simon, whom he describes as a master at
creating characters who ring true, and are
funny. They aren’t forced—they feel real,
and absent the phony sitcom laugh tracks.
Neary strives for the same in his characters,
mining his own truth to present fully formed,
fallible people. The inspiration for “The
Porch” came from none other than his own
mother and her two porch-sitting friends.
“I know what to give actors, I know how
to sell an audience,” he says.
He’s not making empty boasts. “The Porch”
earned wide critical acclaim. Dick Flavin,
Emmy-award winning author and humorist
said, “ ‘The Porch’ is everything theatre should
be. It is endearing, drop-dead funny, heartbreaking and, in the end, triumphant.
I left the theater thinking to myself, gee, I
wish I'd written that."
Perhaps more importantly, audiences loved
it—68 of the 72 performances at the Stoneham
Theater ended with standing ovations. “But
standing O’s are easier to get these days,”
Neary cautions. “You know, the lights go up,
and people stand up to leave, then one person
claps and everyone sort of joins in.”
But for all his success as a playwright,
Neary’s art has a deeper foundation. “I spent
many years acting and directing, so I have a
good sense of what will work,” he says.
In fact, Neary was 35 before he wrote his
first play, “First Night.” A member of the
Dramatists Guild, the Actor’s Equity Association and the Screen Actors Guild, he recently
had a role in Ben Affleck’s Boston-based
movie “The Town” and auditioned for the
role of Alice Ward’s husband in “The Fighter.”
Earlier roles include both Felix and Oscar in
“The Odd Couple,” Clarence in the musical
“A Wonderful Life,” Amos in “Chicago” and
Maurice in “Beauty and the Beast.” On network television, he has appeared in “Spenser:
For Hire” and, more recently, on “Law and
Order” and Showtime’s series “Brotherhood.”
He also directed Cindy Williams from TV's
“Laverne and Shirley” in 2009 in his play
“Kong’s Night Out” at the Meadow Brook
Theatre in Michigan.
As far as the writing process goes, Neary
says, “I often begin with an idea about a play
with a particular actor in mind—‘First Night’
started with a role I knew would be perfect
for Maryann Plunkett.”
Plunkett—a Tony-Award winning actress
who attended Lowell State with Neary—
very nearly played the role off-Broadway in
1994, but had to bow out when she learned
she was expecting. “First Night” was first
produced professionally at the MRT.
So, what’s next for this man of many talents? Two things: children’s plays, and a book
proposal.
“Lately, I’ve been writing a lot of stuff for
kids—a lot of parodies of classic stories,”
Neary says.
He’s also forayed into another creative
outlet: developing a book proposal for Jeanne
Stawiecki, a remarkable woman who has
completed marathons and climbed the highest
peak on every continent—including Everest
on her third try.
And he has high hopes for his most recent
play, “Auld Lang Syne,” a two-character comedy that is currently being considered by an
Emmy Award-winning TV star and a Tony
Award-winning actress.
Oh yeah, and then there’s the summer
musical theater program he’d like to create
for Lowell.
While many would rest upon such accomplishments—boast about them, even—Neary
isn’t that guy. !

The Odd Couple: Sharing a Home and a Marriage,
From Different Sides of the Fence
To all those who lament the incivility of our society, who bemoan that we’ve
grown too polarized as a people to any longer see past the differences between
us—there is a living, breathing rebuttal:
Dwight Robson and Lena Robinson, husband and wife.
Robson ’93 and Robinson ’92 are the James Carville and Mary Matalin of
Massachusetts politics, but without the fanfare. She’s a consultant to Republicans,
he to Democrats; her values run to low taxes and small government, his are
rooted in more help for the little guy. He wrote a check last fall to the Deval
Patrick campaign; she canceled it out with a bigger one to Charlie Baker. When
it comes to politics, they don’t agree on much.
And yet.
And yet they’ve been together since they met at ULowell—where she was as
left-wing as he was (“of the ACLU card-carrying persuasion”) until she read Ayn
Rand. They have two children together, share a home on the North Shore, and
only rarely give way to screams. ("Occasionally I lose my cool,” she told a
reporter last fall. “Dwight really doesn't.") They made it through last year’s
election by agreeing on no lawn signs.
But there are moments. There are flash points.
Mitt Romney is one. ("Dwight has a personal thing with that," Robinson told
the reporter.) Al Sharpton is another. (“Don't even go there,” she said to her
husband; “he’s kryptonite to me.”) And he’s never been happy with her
membership in the NRA.
Still, there is common ground—which is something they work hard to stress.
She is friends with Shannon O'Brien, former Democratic candidate for governor;
he’s worked on behalf of charter schools, which have strong Republican backing.
"I never did see things in black and white," he said last year. "Democrat, good;
Republican, bad—I don't see politics [that way]."
So the next curmudgeon you come across, arguing that we’re too divided to
get past our differences, or that Congress is too partisan to ever get anything
done?
Send him out to Marblehead to take a lesson from Lena and Dwight. ! –G.D.

It began as a volunteer summer job, more

But somehow, the job never ended.
“It just kept on expanding,” says UMass
Lowell Education Asst. Prof. Michelle
Scribner-MacLean ’87, ’90, ’99 of her
relationship with Boston’s Museum of
Science. “I just kept going back—working
different jobs, at the front desk, in the

everywhere you could
work. I finally did
leave to teach elementary school—but
I came back to work
in the summers.”
Over the years,
her jobs there grew
more diverse, and more responsible: “I
did the research for my master’s degree
in the butterfly lab. There I was, with
the keys to collections of butterflies going
back to the 1800s. There’s almost no
way to describe the things I learned.”
Recently, the museum produced a
video, “The Heart of the Museum,” which
profiles four people whose lives have
been touched by their exposure to it.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg,
who grew up in Medford, was one of the
four; another was Scribner-MacLean. “It

Fear and Fulfillment
By Sheila Eppolito
At 6-years-old, huddled in an attic apartment in
Vienne, Isere in German-occupied France, Marguerite Waldron ’89 was terrified. She sat in
darkness—strict curfews meant lights out at an
early hour—and heard the clicking of German
soldiers’ boots as they
marched down her cobblestone street. She hoped
they weren’t coming for
her—they knocked at the
door of her neighbor instead. Today, life is much
different for Waldron, but
a part of her never forgets.
After putting her husband through MIT and her three children through
college (one at UMass Lowell) she cast around
for something for herself.
“When the children were grown, I had the
luxury of more introspection,” says Waldron.
She’d always been interested in painting and,
at the urging of a friend, took a class at the
DeCordova Museum. Following that, she began
lessons with Lowell art instructor Ann Schecter,
and she was on her way.
She enrolled in the University’s art program
at 50, and her official love affair with art began.
“I love abstract expressionism—it is an active
kind of communication; the person viewing it
has their own personal, individual reaction to
it,” she says.
She doesn’t like art that is simple, or too
literal. “I don’t like pretty little pictures,” says
Waldron.
Her canvases are typically filled with vibrant
colors, and often contain images of ladders and
doors, a throwback to her fearful childhood. “I think the ladders may
represent trying to get out—a means of escape, and the doors evoke
fear of who might be behind them,” she says.
After graduation, Waldron exhibited work at the Kingston Gallery
in Boston before moving to York, Maine.
Recently, in a moment of serendipity, her daughter, Nicole, invited
her to a wine tasting and art exhibit at The Clown in York. After surveying the featured artist’s work, Waldron felt a renewed confidence
in her own abilities, and approached the Clown’s manager, Monique
Meadows.
“I asked her if she would consider showing my work, and she asked
what kind of medium I use,” recalls Waldron.
“When I told her I paint abstract, she nearly jumped out of her
skin! She said ‘I love abstract!’ ” And a friendship was born.
“Ajmer” by Marguente Waldon
“I visited Marguerite’s studio, and I imagine I felt the way Alfred
Stieglitz did upon discovering Georgia O’Keeffe,” Meadows says. “I
was absolutely blown away with the quality and quantity of her
work—I wanted to yell at her and say ‘Where have you been? ’ ”
A showing of 28 of Waldron’s pieces soon followed, with critical
acclaim and sales. But selling her work isn’t a huge motivator for
Waldron. She says, “If a work sells, so be it. If it doesn’t, I get to have
it back, and look at it on my wall.”
She credits Meadows’ enthusiastic reaction with a new commitment
to her work.
“She has reenergized me to continue to work—I value her friendship
enormously,” she says. !

Leo King, Remembered:
a Legacy of Caring
Marianne Heimburg Knowlton:
Teacher, Writer, Artist
Leo King, who died this fall at the age of
81, was a man who touched lives. And,
nearly as often, changed them.
The memories that trailed his nearly
30 years as dean of students—beginning
at Lowell Tech in 1967, finally retiring
from UMass Lowell in 1996—are vivid.
“He was definitely
pro-student,” remembers Ellen Duggan,
who served as his
assistant dean for
years, then took over
upon his retirement.
“He was absolutely
devoted [to them].”
“A 24-hour policeman, a 24-hour
chaplain, and 24-hour friend of the students,” said Larry Martin, who was dean
of admissions through much of King’s
tenure, to a reporter earlier this year.
“He had the hardest job in the
University, without question.”
A former student, writing from Florida, remembers a crisis 30 years ago: “I
asked your secretary for five minutes with
you to explain a problem. You gave me
an hour. You extended a hand, and held
me accountable. You made an impact
on my life, an impact I am still [feeling]
today. I thank God for you.”
Today’s Dean of Students, Larry
Siegel, who says he came to UMass Lowell in large part because of King, remembers the phone calls he made to arrange
student loans, or credit at the bookstore
for a student who couldn’t afford his
texts, or a proper graduation ceremony
for a prison inmate who’d completed his
coursework through the mail. At least
once, says Siegel, he remembers King
taking out his wallet to give a student
money for food.
“Hundreds of students owe their college degrees to him. He would spend a
lot of his time meeting with [those] who
felt they were at dead ends – whether it
was personal, academic or financial.
He really felt like they were his kids.
He used to refer to them like that.”

Marianne Heimburg Knowlton, who taught English
at the University for 35 years, was a devoted student
of the artistic and the literary.
“She sought out places her favorite authors knew
and loved in order to know the writers better,” says
Martha McGowan, a retired English professor and
longtime friend. “I have photos she took of one of
Jane Austen’s homes, and of a café Hemingway
frequented in Spain.”
Knowlton’s family—including former husband
Ted, daughters Polly and Liza and son Larry (another
son, Kned, predeceased her) recently held a memorial
service for her following her death at 81.
“Whether deeply immersed in a popular pageturner or a dog-eared classic, my mother was perhaps
happiest when surrounded by stacks of beloved
books,” says Polly.
Knowlton found common ground with students
in challenging the status quos of the ’60s and ’70s.
“Students flocked to enroll in her course, The
Modern Lyric, where Joni Mitchell and James
Taylor songs were played and discussed in their
cultural contexts,” says Polly.

Russ Willingham ’06: Died Serving the Public
Russell Willingham Jr. used to work
multiple security shifts at a hospital
on weekends to make his UMass Lowell
dream come true. While also holding
down a job as an RA on the ninth
floor of Fox Hall, he wanted desperately
to earn a criminal justice degree. And
he did, in 2006.
But it was the dangerous profession
he loved that claimed his life. Willingham, 28, died in the
line of duty on July 30, during a shift with the Winston-Salem
(N.C.) police department. Willingham was responding to a
call regarding a possible drunk driver when he crashed into a
tree and became trapped in his patrol car.
A native of Framingham, Willingham is survived by his
wife, Courtney, in addition to his parents, two brothers and a
sister.
“The first time I met him, he was the resident advisor in
Fox Hall, and I was director of Fox Hall,” recalls Nicholas
Piscitello, associate director of Parking and Transportation for
the University. “He was an easygoing guy, but very passionate
about criminal justice. He really wanted to be an officer.”

Catherine Goodwin ’43: Drawing Life Out of Gravestones
and Old Canvasses
Lowell was her life, and her lifelong love. She
was rooted in its present, but made of herself—above all other things—a curator of its
past. When Catherine Goodwin ’43 died, in
June at the age of 89, she took with her a
knowledge and intimacy with the city that
may never be seen again.
“She always struck me as someone who
straddled two worlds,” says Richard Howe, a
local attorney and blogger who, sadly but willingly, will now carry on the tradition of leading
the cemetery walking tours that Goodwin
made her calling for nearly 30 years. “She was
a very modern person, with one foot squarely
in the 21st century, but so immersed in the
history of the city, it’s as if she had her other
foot planted firmly in the 19th.”
She was a researcher, historian and scholar
of all things Lowell. Beginning in the mid1970s and continuing until near to the end of
her life, she choreographed exhibits at the
city’s museums and galleries that put the city’s
past—its artists, mill workers, silversmiths,
city fathers, the clothes they wore, the fabrics,
china and portraits they crafted—vividly and
memorably on display. Her cemetery tours,
beginning in the early ’80s and informed by
her exhaustive and loving research, revivified,
for thousands of today’s residents, the longdead men and women who made the city
what it is. Her 1992 book, “Mourning Glory:
The Story of the Lowell Cemetery,” brought
many of these figures to the page.
“She always found the human connection,”
says Irene Finneral, office manager of the
Lowell Cemetery, “and translated the stories
in a way her audience could feel.”

Loddy Weisberg ’53
Loddy Weisberg ’53 created a legacy at UMass
Lowell this year when she left a surprise
gift to the University. Unbeknownst to the
University, Weisberg, who died in 2010,
remembered her alma mater (then called
the State Teachers College at Lowell) in her
estate with a generous gift. The funds created
the “Loddy Weisberg ’53 Memorial Endowed
Scholarship Fund” to support students in
the Graduate School of Education.
“Mrs. Weisberg’s gift is the largest single
gift that the Graduate School of Education
has received,” says Anita Greenwood, dean of the Graduate School
of Education. “With the increasing cost of education, her scholarship
will be of real benefit each year to an exemplary student who is
beginning a student teaching practicum in one of Lowell’s
elementary schools.”
Weisberg retired from the Wilmington Public School system and
had resided in Hyannis.

The Katen Learning Commons at the Lydon Library was dedicated Oct. 28, 2011. Paul Katen ’64 cuts the ribbon at the dedication
ceremony. Pictured with him, from left: Vice Chancellor of Advancement Edward Chiu, Retired Director of Libraries Patricia Noreau,
Chancellor Martin Meehan ‘78, Paul Katen ‘64, Executive Vice Chancellor Jacqueline Moloney ‘75, Vice Chancellor of Administration
& Finance Joanne Yestramski ‘76 and Provost Ahmed Abdelal (missing: Cheryl Katen ’66).
As students at Lowell Tech some 50 years ago, Paul
and Cheryl Katen of Oregon fondly remember their
studies at the Lydon Library and their ensuing love
story. After marriage, their locally fostered passions
for science and technology took the couple far, both
having ambitious and successful careers.
Now in retirement, they decided to return a favor to
their alma mater through a generous donation to
UMass Lowell. Thanks to their contribution of almost
$240,000—the largest gift ever to the University

libraries—the Katen Learning Commons opened this
fall on the second floor of the Lydon Library. The
reconstructed facility is a redesign of library space
that dynamically engages students and actively
encourages learning outside the classroom with 21st
century equipment that fits today’s learning styles.
The Katen’s gift also provides students and faculty in
the sciences and engineering with valuable online
database resources to support learning and research
in the advancing digital age.

“As a recipient of both University and family
endowed scholarships, I know first-hand
what it feels like to be awarded with a
scholarship, and it’s amazing how even a
little support goes a long way. The support
that donors provide, whether it be monetary
or simply their involvement with the
University, does not go unnoticed or
unappreciated.”

James Nehring,
Assistant professor,
Graduate School of
Education
Inspired by the love and sacrifice of three
very important women in his life, each of
whom provided long-term care for loved
ones, Prof. James Nehring of the Graduate
School of Education bicycled across the
United States to help establish the Mary,
Joan and Nancy Scholarship for Courage and
Compassion. In the name of Mary, his mother;
Joan, his mother-in-law; and Nancy, his
good friend, Nehring completed the last part
of his 4,000-mile bike ride this past summer
to endow a scholarship for first-generation
UMass Lowell students who aspire to become
teachers. Along the way, he checked in with
faculty, family and friends. His greetings
from Glasgow, Mont., read: “All is well at the
end of day seven on the road. I had a tailwind all the way through North Dakota and
averaged over 100 miles a day. Headwind first
two days in Montana and I’m averaging 60!”
Thanks to the contributions of so many
donors—the power of one making a tremendous collective difference—Nehring surpassed
his $25,000 fundraising goal. Please visit the
UMass Lowell website if you wish to see this
vital scholarship grow for aspiring teachers:
