A Message from Chancellor Penney During the years since I became Chancellor, in September 1988, I've come to expect the extraordinary at UMass Boston. Every day brings the excitement of intense learning and innovative teaching, the excitement of first-rate scholarship and research, the excitement of the fruitful partnerships we pursue with so many of our neighbors, and above all the excitement of seeing thousands of individual UMass Boston students working so hard to make better lives for themselves, their families, and their communities. But few periods in UMass Boston's lively history have been as eventful as the months since this magazine last appeared.
