A Campus on the Move UMass SUMMER 2010 VOLUME 13 NUMBER 2 MAGAZINE A Campus on the Mo ve: UMass Lowell Vaults Into the Future The $70 million, 84,00 0- squar e- foot Emerging Technologies and Innovation Center will be the centerpiece of a sweeping transformation of the UMass Lowell campus. A Message From Chancellor Martin T. Meehan ’78 If people are surprised that UMass Lowell has broken ground on a $70 million advanced technology research center and is poised to break ground on a new academic building on South Campus, then they have not paid attention to the history of this institution. If people are astonished that our enrollment is the largest it has ever been, that student success – by all measures – has shot up and that research expenditures are breaking records for the school, then they have simply underestimated us. The drive and determination so visible at UMass Lowell today has its roots in the founding of its predecessor schools in the 1890s when farsighted community and business leaders saw the need for well educated engineers, managers and teachers. Equal resolve brought about the merger of Lowell Technological Institute and Lowell State College into the University of Lowell in 1975 to better accommodate the baby boom generation and to develop programs to meet new technological, economic and social needs. The school became part of the UMass system in 1991, further enlarging its vision, its programs and its accomplishments. Today, the momentum on this campus is more intense than ever. In addition to the growth in enrollment, we have established new academic programs; enhanced interdisciplinary partnerships; increased diversity; strengthened experiential learning and created academic and research partnerships around the globe. The new UMass Lowell Inn & Conference Center and the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell — along with the new technology center under construction — provide not only a dramatically enlivened campus life, but new sources of revenue. A precipitous drop in the percentage of our budget that comes from public dollars has necessitated an entrepreneurial spirit. If you haven’t been on campus for a while, drop by and take a look at the changes. Talk to students. Visit our website at www.uml.edu. Our students need your support. Please consider giving to UMass Lowell. You can find out how at www.uml.edu/advancement/give.

  • TAH Mill Times Name:______Date
    TAH Mill Times Name:__________________________ date Starter Please Read: In 1821, the Boston Associates purchased land and rights to the Pawtucket Canal located north of the city of Boston, Massachusetts. The Associates built several textile mills and enlarged the Canal for water power. The first mills opened in 1823, and for the next 25 years more mills and a network of power canals were built. By 1848, Lowell was the largest industrial center in America! The mills produced 50,000 miles of cotton cloth each year. The Associates needed a large work force for the busy mills. They decided to run their mills using a work force of young women recruited from New England farms. Lowell was known around the world for this innovative solution. Lowell "Mill Girls" were asked to work in the factories for a few years, then return to the farms or marry. Mill girls filled the city of Lowell, living in boardinghouses managed by the corporations. Mill life meant a hard day's work in which girls followed a strict schedule marked by the ringing of bells. Mill girls were expected to follow the company rules for curfew, church attendance and proper behavior. Why were the Boston Associates important? ____________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Describe who were the Mill Girls of Lowell?_____________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________

Broadly speaking, the texts published on idrottsforum.org discusses the changes in sports in our time; indeed, the most important task of the social sciences is to map and understand contemporary changes based on knowledge of the past and theories of change and devel- opment. We draw attention, often in sweeping terms, to the general tendencies of change within modern sports – commercialization, professionalization, globalization, medializa- tion. These tendencies are indisputable and unchallenged, even if opinions differ as to their advantages and disadvantages for the actual performance and intrinsic values of sports. What do these tendencies entail? What are the everyday consequences? These kinds of questions are also dealt with on the forum – our original articles as well as the large num- ber of reviews of works published elsewhere indicate the changes as they appear in the everyday sporting reality. But to what extent is sports journalism contributing to a balanced assessment of the changes within sports? And what part can sports sociology play in this? Crisis! That’s Dave Zirin’s diagnosis of the situation within, primarily, American sports and American sports journalism.

  • Calling Sports Sociology Off the Bench
    calling sports sociology off the bench by dave zirin The job of the sports sociologist is to be a professional debunker of accepted truths. So said Ben Carrington, sociology professor and author-in-res- idence at the University of Texas at Austin. One of many of this new breed of debunkers, Carrington looks at sports in a way that challenges the “accepted truths” laid out by the athletic industrial complex and its stenographers in the press. As a professional sports journalist who tries to do my own kind of debunking, I’ve found many sports sociologists’ research to be indispensable—Grant Farred on how globalization has changed the NBA, anything by C.L. Cole. All do a remarkable job of elucidating the past and present.
