Happy Graduation, Beacons!
From the Armory Building in Park Square in 1964 to Healey Library on Columbia Point in 1974, the library has been the keeper of UMass Boston’s stories. So every time a UMass Boston student walks across the Commencement stage… From UMass Boston’s very first Commencement ceremony in 1969… To the first Commencement on Columbia Point in 1974…To the 2025 Commencement ceremonies on the Harbor… We know you carry generations of stories with you on that journey. Thank you for letting us be a chapter in your story!
Congratulations, 2026 graduates, and best wishes from Healey Library!

Hello Beacons!
As we near the end of the semester, many of you will be filling out end-of-semester course surveys.
If your professor used no-cost or low-cost materials in their course, you can thank them in their survey! Doing so will:
1) Encourage them to continue using no-cost and low-cost materials in their future courses.
2) Let them know that you appreciate their efforts to make education more affordable.
3) Help to make college more accessible to all students.
Why do no-cost and low-cost course materials matter?
1) You save money.
2) Affordable course materials can be as good as traditional textbooks.
3) They are more accessible to students.
Learn about how UMass Boston is supporting faculty to make their courses more affordable for students by visiting UMass Boston's Open Education page linked here: https://www.umb.edu/library/open-education/
