The years I spent at UMass Amherst were incredibly important to my subsequent development. Now I am doing what I can to repay UMass for all that it did for me.

The band gave me a focal point; it became my little village. Everything I did at UMass emanated from that.

I come from a family that has always felt obligated to show appreciation for what we've been given and to give back. My MBA from UMass Amherst was a galvanizing force—it enabled me to totally change the course of my life.

50th Reunion Glass Gift
More Information
Give Now
Every spring during Alumni Weekend, the 50th Reunion class is invited to return to campus to reconnect with old friends and reflect on their time at UMass Amherst and the value of the intellectual and financial opportunities their education has given them.
One important aspect of the 50th Reunion celebration is the dedication of the class gift. Each 50th Reunion class chooses a gift that resonates with them, supporting areas such as scholarships, campus beautification, and innovative academic programs.
Reunions are the perfect time to say "thank you" to the university that gave you so much. We hope that you will join fellow alumni in creating a memorable reunion that will make a lasting impact on UMass Amherst. For more information contact Nathan Adams '06 at nadams@admin.umass.edu or 413-545-1043.

The Marching Band, its leader, its members, its regalia, its instruments, and its many prestigious trophies, are scattered across campus. Plans are underway to find a home that will offer the band rehearsal space, instrument and uniform storage space, and other amenities.
