Welcome from Chancellor Holub
The University of Massachusetts Amherst is fortunate to be one of our nation’s leading public research universities, nestled in a community that many consider one of the best college towns and learning environments in the country. It is my honor to serve as Chancellor of this great institution.
On our website, you’ll see stories about our award-winning faculty, read about the accomplishments of our students – the best in our history – and hear about the staff who work so hard to make UMass Amherst the most highly regarded public research institution in New England and one of the best universities in the country. You’ll also learn about our plans to work together to build an even better and more renowned campus in the coming years.
We are fortunate to live in a special, diverse community dedicated to the life of the mind. As the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ flagship research campus, we educate the best and the brightest students from all segments of society, and engage in research and scholarship aimed at providing innovative solutions to the problems facing our nation and world.
While we are pleased with the improvements in our web presence, there’s no replacement for the real thing. So I encourage you to browse umass.edu and find out more about us. But even more I invite you to visit our campus in person and see why we are so proud and happy to call UMass Amherst home!
Regards,
Chancellor Robert C. Holub
University of Massachusetts Amherst
