The University of Massachusetts School of Law – Dartmouth (UMass Law) and Johnson & Wales University (JWU) in Providence, RI have finalized an agreement for a joint 3+3 program that will enable JWU students to earn an undergraduate and law degree in six rather than seven years.

Maddison Lessard has received the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship, one of the most prestigious awards in the U.S. for undergraduates studying the sciences.

The scholarship is given annually to college sophomores and juniors who demonstrate excellence in natural science, engineering, and mathematics. Lessard is one of 417 recipients selected this year, and is the fifth UMass Boston student to earn a Goldwater Scholarship.

“I was so shocked. I wasn’t expecting it at all,” Lessard said.

The UMass Amherst Transportation Center’s (UMTC) $4.75 million, state-of-the-art aviation research and training center officially opened at Westover Municipal Airport in Chicopee with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 26. In attendance were Gov. Charlie Baker, Chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy, U.S. Rep. Richard Neal, UMass President Mary Meehan, UMTC Director Michael Knodler and a number of state and local officials. The facility’s aeronautical research capabilities, flight simulator and other features will help address needs critical to the future of air transportation.
