Bravo! Hats off to the hundreds of people representing the faculty, students and staff of the University of Massachusetts Amherst who worked tirelessly for months to create a series of outstanding events surrounding the inauguration of Chancellor John V. Lombardi. We personally thank each of you who contributed in so many ways - your energy, your creativity and your dedication demonstrated that this is truly a first-rate university.
