A magazine for UMass Boston alumni & friends
In this edition of Beacons, we share stories of alumni whose life experiences and UMass Boston education inspired creative, entrepreneurial ways to engage and give back.
Our cover story profiles Governor Janet Mills ’70 whose lifelong contributions to public life offer a model pathway for how students from all backgrounds can serve and give back. She recounts her winding journey through higher ed and state politics and what it takes to be a successful leader today.
