How does the Lowell community impact athletics at UMass Lowell?
Dana Skinner: A vibrant community makes UMass Lowell a more attractive option for prospective students and also enhances the quality of the overall experience for current students. In addition, Lowell has much to offer in the way of outreach activities, which provides opportunities for our student-athletes to direct the energy and spirit of winning to positively change society. Finally, we work hard to engage the community by providing enjoyable experiences during our many sporting events. Often times, it’s during these events that we first develop direct connections to the families of the Lowell community.
