Campus Events
Week of October 22, 2007
Health Services and the "No Regrets" Group will be celebrating National College Alcohol Awareness Week starting today through Friday, October 26. On Wednesday, October 24th, stop by the South Campus Quad for mock-tails and beer goggle obstacle course races. Throughout the week there will be tables set up at Southwick and McGauvran offering information on alcohol and giveaways! Sign a pledge and you will be entered to win prizes where including an New iPod Nano/Video and gift certificates to Shorty's Mexican Roadhouse.
The Bookstore and the English Department will host best-selling author Sebastian Junger, author of "The Perfect Storm" and "A Death in Belmont." You can catch the event TONIGHT at 7:30pm at the Comley-Lane Theatre in Mahoney Hall on South Campus.
UMass Lowell's new forensic science degree – being offered for the first time next fall – is the only undergraduate program of its kind at a public university in Massachusetts and one of only two in New England. The bachelor of science in chemistry with forensic science option is a collaboration between the University's Chemistry Department and Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology, as well as the Lowell Police Department. "Driving the creation of the program is the need for more forensic chemists in Massachusetts," says Eugene Barry, Chemistry Department chair. There are only 100 certified professionals working in the state police crime lab. However, more than 2,000 violent crimes were committed in 2005, according to a report from the Massachusetts Commonwealth Fusion Center. The new degree meets standards set by the American Academy of Forensic Sciences' Education Programs Accreditation Commission.
The five-time gold medal champion, Spartans Drum and Bugle Corps, has received one more award to add to its collection, claiming this year's Division II World Championship. The roughly 100-member band traveled to Pasadena, Calif., in mid-August where they competed against, more than 20 other drum and bugle corps from around the country. The Spartans Drum and Bugle Corps, founded in 1955, has no affiliation with any particular school in the area, but some of our own UML students hold presence! Congratulations to you! The community-based organization is run by volunteer parents, past corps members and a professional teaching staff. In past years, the corps has won World Championships four times, performed in Disney World six times and participated in the Miss America Parade seven times. They have also performed for seven former presidents: Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush. In more recent years, the Spartans have played at both inaugural parades for current President Bush.
