Scenes from Founders Day 2025
The UMass Amherst community came together for Founders Day on April 29 to soak in spring sunshine and celebrate everything that makes the university special.
Thousands gathered on Haigis Mall for lawn games, activities and a barbecue lunch provided by UMass Dining, while across campus more than 20 departments showcased what makes UMass one of the best universities in the world. From scientific glass blowing, robotic dogs and tree climbing demonstrations, to a DIY bouquet bar with Stockbridge Floral Design and line dancing – this year’s event had something for everyone.
Check out some of the scenes from Founders Day in the image gallery and Instagram post below, and be sure to follow all of the university’s institutional social accounts for more photos, videos and stories from campus leading up to Commencement Weekend.
