We are now living in a global world, giving them the ability to interact with others who are from different countries is really critical, because that's exactly what they're going to face when they walk into the workforce. 

GRAY MILKOWSKI, UMASS BOSTON '18
You get such a diverse set of views in such a diverse way of thinking about things, and that diversity from the outside coming in. At the end of your experience, you're able to take that knowledge and put it out into the world again.

I think there's a quarter million plus alumni nationwide and globally, and I think that UMass has such an incredible impact.

GRAY MILKOWSKI
If you're an international relations class or a political science classes, you're trying to answer questions that are so much bigger than one person's understanding of an issue or a topic, and you collaborate and you try and find an answer that really takes into account everything.

SARA TARIQ
Boston is known to have great colleges worldwide. People are very aware of UMass, and they feel very proud when they found out that I go to UMass Boston.

MARTY MEEHAN
There isn't a CEO that I've talked to at any point in time in this job where CEOs don't tell me they want a more diverse workforce that reflects the Commonwealth, that reflects the diversity of the country and in the world. That's exactly what UMass is providing.
