UMass Boston

UMass Boston gave me an opportunity to earn my master’s when other doors might have been closed. That degree is the reason behind every career move I’ve made. I wanted to make sure future students have the same chance to change their lives.

This partnership is a wonderful example of how two aligned organizations can amplify each other’s missions. The Goddard House–Doane Scholarship celebrates the work of nurses and empowers nurses who want to take their service to the people of Boston to a higher level. It is truly transformative.

I honestly never thought a DC internship would be a reality for me unless I did it over the summer. Moving from Boston to DC, even temporarily, is expensive. I couldn’t imagine trying to figure out the cost of living. And yet, here I am!

UMass Boston’s Stone Living Lab plays a vital role in developing and demonstrating the efficacy of coastal nature-based solutions [to climate resilience]. Their research is showing the world that these innovative approaches work—keeping communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems safer.

UMass Boston plays a critical role in supporting diversity in Boston, and I have seen first-hand how diversity in the nursing workforce can improve patient care and address health inequities.

I’ve had the privilege of visiting dozens of universities over my career. What stands out about UMass Boston is its pragmatism, grit, and diversity. It is these things that will propel UMB to lead on applied AI.

I always dreamed of becoming a teacher and making a difference in the lives of people in my community. Because of this scholarship, I now have the opportunity to pursue my dreams without worrying about how I will pay for college.
