The UMass Community and Beyond
We promote university events like lectures, performances, concerts, and athletics to local communities. We also work jointly on economic development and planning projects with town governments in Amherst and Hadley. We're actively engaged with a number of local non-profits and organizations, providing support, guidance, and leadership.
