University Without Walls 35th Anniversary Celebration

In the fall of 1971, the first group of thirty UMass Amherst University Without Walls (UWW) students entered an individualized degree completion program specifically designed for returning students—adults with families, jobs, and community commitments. Today there are nearly 500 UWW students attending UMass Amherst each semester, and over 3,300 alumni. Join UWW students, alumni, staff, advisors, and friends in this historic anniversary celebration.
