2020 and 2021 Chancellor's Citations Award Recipients Honored

On Tuesday, Nov. 9, UMass Amherst community members gathered in the new Student Union Ballroom to celebrate both 2020 and 2021 recipients of the prestigious Chancellor’s Citation Awards. The event was postponed last year due to the pandemic making it enjoyable to reconvene this year for the event. The outstanding accomplishments that were highlighted showcase community members and teams who went above and beyond the call of duty in so many ways ranging from the design and implementation of new tools and systems to reinventing events and managing our response to a public health crisis.
