Welcome from Chancellor Holub
It is my honor to serve as chancellor of UMass Amherst, and to join the excellent faculty, staff, and students in our quest to become one of the nation’s very finest public research universities.
We’re fortunate to be at the center of a special community. There’s nowhere better in the country to engage in the life of the mind, and no location better suited to engage with scholars and students committed to making the world a better place now and in the future. It’s a great place to live and learn.
I’m proud to be part of UMass Amherst, and of the work we do. We have an outstanding faculty, with some of the best minds in the world teaching our classes, conducting cutting-edge research and scholarship as well as shaping our state’s economy and culture. We have outreach and service efforts throughout Massachusetts, sharing the capabilities of our university with the people of our state. We have extraordinary students who add so much vitality, energy, and diversity to our campus and community. We have dedicated staff members who hold the vision that service is indeed a high calling.
In the next few months, I will be looking forward to meeting the many wonderful people that make up this university community, as well as alumni, friends, and donors who deeply care about this great institution. I also plan on participating in the number of events, activities, and other opportunities here on campus and around the state, and hope to see many of you.
I encourage you to visit and learn why I'm so excited to be part of this great university community. In the meantime, enjoy visiting the campus through our Web site.
Regards,
Robert C. Holub
Chancellor
University of Massachusetts Amherst
