Meet Our Students
Shaila Bornstein '19
Criminal Justice, Political Science
A semester in Washington, D.C., interning with a nonprofit that trains women to run for political office galvanized Shaila Bornstein. As soon as she finishes at UML, she plans to return to Washington to gain political experience so she can run for president.
The opportunities I’ve already gotten here are above and beyond what I could have gotten anywhere else.
Akshay Alamuri ’21, ’24
Exercise Science
Akshay Alamuri says UMass Lowell fit his family’s budget – and his own goal of becoming a physical therapist.
It was the perfect combo of cost meets strength of program: the perfect value, basically.
Maylis Brito '20
Finance
Thanks to her co-op and internship experiences at Kronos, business administration major Maylis Brito has broadened her career options beyond her concentration in finance.
Now that I’ve worked in marketing, I’m not just theorizing about my future; it’s actually something I can see myself getting into.
David Todisco '18
Political Science
David Todisco says his political science classes, internships and experiences through UML's partnership with The Washington Center are helping him forge a political career.
The Political Science Department here is phenomenal. The faculty all have so much experience they bring to the table.
Allyson Toppi ’20, ’21
Mechanical Engineering
Allyson Toppi never thought she could work in robotics. An internship at Brooks Automation changed her mind – and turned into a full-time job.
I never questioned that women could be engineers, because here was one in front of me, and she was so smart, strong and capable.
