UMass Amherst and the Amherst Area Chamber of Commerce will co-host the 58^th annual Community Breakfast Tuesday, Aug. 26, from 7:30-9 a.m. in the Student Union Ballroom.

The Community Breakfast marks the traditional beginning of the academic year and offers a chance for representatives of the local, academic and business communities to connect with one another and share common goals and highlights for the coming year.

Catered by the award-winning UMass Dining, the breakfast is an opportunity to engage with community and campus leaders, welcome newcomers and see old friends, as the university and the Amherst area embark on the Fall semester.

Tickets for the Community Breakfast, which sold out in 2024, are available in advance for $20 per person through UMass Hospitality until noon on Monday, Aug. 25. Free parking will be available in the Campus Center Garage.
