Welcome!

The University of Massachusetts Amherst welcomed Derek Kellogg as the new head coach of the men's basketball team this week. Kellogg, a former Minuteman led the men's basketball team to great success in the early '90s and is proud to be back at his Alma mater, after several years as the assistant coach at Memphis University.

UMass also welcomed its newest undergraduate students, the Class of 2012.* Hundreds of prospective and accepted undergraduate students, most accompanied by family or friends, flooded the UMass Campus Center during this week's spring reception.

One young woman, UMass '12, traveled to Western Massachusetts from Puerto Rico. Along with her parents, she was here to celebrate her acceptance and get acclimated with the university's offerings.
