Penney Reflects on Twelve Years At UMass Boston
It has been a great year for UMass Boston! The highlights have included our new Carnegie classification as a doctoral/research university; completing our first capital campaign on target and ahead of schedule; the most successful year of grants and contracts in our history; the addition of a national freshman honor society chapter; and international recognition as host of the first presidential debate of the 2000 campaign.
