UMass Boston Student-Athlete Handbook

Letter from the Vice Chancellor for Athletics and Recreation:  

Hello Beacon Student-Athletes,  

We are so excited that you chose UMass Boston for your academic and athletic careers and can’t wait to see what this year will bring for UMass Boston Athletics.  

The journey you will embark on here is one that will be one of the most formative and transformative of your lifetime. Being a student-athlete helps you discover who you are and teaches you skills that begin to shape who you will be for the rest of your life. Our hope is for you to leave UMass Boston as a well-rounded adult of high character that has gained the necessary skills to achieve your potential and make a lasting impact on society.  

A global leader in higher education and research, the city of Boston is an incredibly special place to spend your college career. UMass Boston is the only 4-year public research institution in all of Boston with a population that is the most diverse in New England. Boston is also a city that loves sports. To be a Beacon student-athlete in a city that values education and sports is an incredibly special and unique experience. As you enter your career as a Beacon, our hope is that you will be shaped as leaders of character who will take all the experiences provided at this institution to champion the positive change you want to see in the world! 

We are so excited to see all you accomplish on and off the field as a Beacon. Thank you for further enriching our community by being a part of our family! 

Dr. Jacqueline Schuman
