"UMass Rising is a sweeping history of the role that our great university has played on a grand stage, but it is also more than that. It presents stories that we may not have heard before and others that are told in new ways. . . . It documents the journey of an institution that, in its 150-year pursuit of discoveries to make the world a better place, has never deviated from its commitment to access and excellence."--Chancellor Kumble R. Subbaswamy
