Humanities and Fine Arts Class of 2023 : College of Humanities & Fine Arts : UMass Amherst

Featuring and celebrating our graduates

The College of Humanities and Fine Arts brings together scholars and artists from a wide range of disciplines, but we all share common traits. Our graduates are the makers, the storytellers, the visionaries, and the thinkers who are driven to interpret our past, examine our present, and envision tomorrow. They believe in the values of justice, compassion, beauty, and hope. And they are equipped to make the world a better place.
