Thank you to Jon Chesto and The Boston Globe for showcasing the work we have done at UMass Boston connecting our students to local employers. Managers realize the important role immigrants or immigrants’ children will play in filling jobs in the coming decade. bostonglobe.com/2022/01/03/bus…

I encourage you all to read my op-ed today in GBH. Helping integrate Afghan refugees into American society, with all the positive economic and social benefits this brings, inevitably falls to our education system. We must be ready for the task.

While it is gratifying to see the warm welcome communities are offering to Afghan youths, ultimately, it is the follow-through that matters most. Schools are where kids are integrated into society. Take a look at my latest piece in Los Angeles Review of Books. dev.lareviewofbooks.org/short-takes/op…

I was delighted to host our unwavering allies in the legislature on the UMass Boston campus earlier this month for a briefing about the exciting activities happening at Boston’s public research university. Thank you to the Boston delegation for your continued support.

We are sometimes referred to as a “best kept secret” in higher education. It’s time to change that. UMass Boston’s spirit is too special, too inspiring, too purposeful to be kept secret. It’s time to tell our story. #ForTheTimes

I am having the best time welcoming our students “home” to UMass Boston this week! I hope everyone enjoyed a healthy and productive summer and are as excited as I am to be back on campus. It is truly an honor to serve as your chancellor, Beacons.

Had the opportunity to listen to President Donald J. Trump deliver his Cancer Moonshot Address at the @JFKLibrary yesterday. Making a historic commitment by this administration to cut cancer rates by half over the next quarter-century. Tremendous!

Excited to see many of you and hear from our distinguished alumna Gina McCarthy Archived at our annual convocation this morning. There's no better way to celebrate the opening of a new academic year. umb.edu/convocation

I was honored to speak at a special naturalization ceremony held at the State House this month. Our country has shaped generations of immigrants like myself into proud Americans and generations of immigrants have shaped our country for the better. umb.edu/news/detail/ch…
