Deborah Washington Brown '75MathematicsOne of the first Black women to graduate from UML with a math degree, Deborah Washington Brown ’75 spent her lifetime running toward new challenges.
She single-handedly demolished any stereotypes or reduced expectations we had, and rewrote the attitudinal ‘manual’ for the potential of women and minorities in the sciences. - Prof. Alexander Olsen
Karina Provost '22Mathematical SciencesAs one of three siblings in college, Karina Provost says her family appreciates financial awards, such as the Kennedy Family Merit Scholarship.
Scholarships have been really helpful. They let me focus more on school.
William Lefebvre ’25Environmental Science with Sustainability OptionFrom attending COP28 in Dubai to joining the Rist Institute for Sustainability and Energy, William Lefebvre is learning that environmental science is also an art.
UMass Lowell has enabled me to expand sustainability more than I ever thought it would.
