Our department is grateful for the support provided by our alumni and chemistry community whose contributions have been instrumental in sustaining our high-quality programs. The dedication, achievements, and philanthropy of our alumni serve as a testament to the enduring impact of our chemistry program, and donor support has been pivotal in advancing our department's mission and goals.
ALUMNI DONORS SPOTLIGHT
Chemistry alumnus Richard “Dick” J. Mahoney (’55, ’83H) and his wife Barbara M. Mahoney (’55) made a gift to the university to be used at the discretion of former Chancellor Subbaswamy to support initiatives deemed most important during his last year at the university, including expanding flexible learning programs and the Carbon Zero mission—to have the UMass Amherst campus powered by 100 percent renewable energy. Dick and his brothers, William “Bill,” and Robert “Bob,” all received their bachelor degrees from UMass Chemistry and have generously given back to the department and university for decades.
