Meet Our Students
Shruti Jain '19
Computer Science
Shruti Jain came to UMass Lowell for its hands-on teaching approach. She’s gotten lots of opportunities to apply what she’s learning – as well as a coveted internship with Red Hat.
Once recruiters knew that I was a student at UMass Lowell, you could just see it in their faces – they were really interested in talking to me. People know what UMass Lowell is, and it’s all really positive.
Mathew D'Entremont '23
Psychology
The Moloney Student Fellowship Fund allowed Mathew D’Entremont to take an unpaid internship with a Lowell nonprofit.
It was good to learn about an organization like Coalition for a Better Acre in the city where I go to school.
Jack Goutier '20
Electrical Engineering
For electrical engineering major Jack Goutier of Attleboro, failure was part of the job during his six-month product safety co-op at Bose Corp.
The co-op program is why I chose UMass Lowell ... I knew I wanted to get a taste of the real world before fully devoting myself to my career.
Kraig Scharn '20
Plastics Engineering
Thanks to his internship and co-op experiences, plastics engineering major Kraig Scharn ’20 discovered that sales was the right career path for him. He is now a junior technical service engineer for Entec Polymers in Charlotte, North Carolina.
It changed my mindset my senior year. I was able to tailor my classes more to the commercial side of the plastics industry, which was really nice.
Alejandro Lopez '18
Economics
The Model U.N. program and a semester interning and learning in Washington, D.C., helped Alejandro Lopez put economic and political theory into practice - and paved the way for a successful career.
The chance to travel and experience a new country each year with the Model U.N. team has given me a college experience I never could have imagined.
