Having the support of donors like you—individuals, community groups, corporations and charitable foundations—makes an extraordinary impact on the work we do together as an academic health sciences system. You are, indeed, our partners in the truest sense of the word. Each year, it fi lls us with great pride to highlight your inspiring dedication and commitment to our endeavors. Within the pages of this annual report for our 2013 fi scal year, you will learn how leadership-level gifts from charitable foundations are strengthening our efforts to bridge the gap between scientifi c discoveries and useable treatments by backing the build-out of laboratory spaces and funding critical translational research into developmental disabilities. You will understand how endowment gifts—the most enduring of investments—establish chairs in biomedical research, which serve to further the dynamic work of our innovative and dedicated faculty members who strive to bring cutting-edge research to bear on some of the most challenging human diseases of our time. You will see the impact that fundraising events, such as road races, walks, golf tournaments and charity dinners, have on our cancer care and research programs, as well as how community-focused organizations have supported the purchase and maintenance of new technologies in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Also, you will learn how contributions made today to scholarships are affecting tomorrow’s health care providers. It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the breadth and depth of your support is inspiring and is a critical factor to our success. We are extremely grateful to be the recipients of your generosity. Michael F.

  • Biogen Idec Announces Major Gift to Umass
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 15, 2012 Contact: Office of Communications [email protected] 508-856-2000 BIOGEN IDEC JOINS FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNORS PAUL CELLUCCI AND BILL WELD TO ANNOUNCE MAJOR GIFT TO UMASS/ALS CHAMPION FUND Politicians past and present alongside Governors for event to benefit ALS research BOSTON, MA – The University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) today announced a $500,000 gift from Biogen Idec to the UMass/ALS Champion Fund, which supports critical research into ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases. Biogen Idec CEO George A. Scangos, Ph.D., presented the gift to former Massachusetts Governor Paul Cellucci, who launched the Champion Fund last year shortly after announcing that he had been diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. In recognition of the critical need for new treatments for ALS, the UMass/ALS Champion Fund is a campaign to raise awareness and funding for the world-class neuroscience research happening in the UMMS neurology department, which is chaired by Robert H. Brown, Jr., D.Phil., M.D., director of the Day Neuromuscular Research Laboratory at UMMS and one of the world’s leading ALS researchers. “I am so moved by the generosity of Biogen Idec – a great Massachusetts corporation,” said Governor Cellucci. “One of the greatest national resources we have is found in abundance right here in the Commonwealth, in companies like Biogen Idec that are committed to developing cures and treatments that change millions of lives.” “I thank Dr. Scangos and his company. Their generous gift will help support the incredible research into potential treatments for ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases being done at UMass Medical School,” said the Governor.

  • Representative Robert A. Durand
    Berkshire Woods and Waters: Durand named to Fisheries and Wildlife Board BY GENE C HAGUE, Eagle correspondent Saturday, May 25, 2019 Robert Durand is sworn in as a member of the state's Fisheries and Wildlife Board of Directors by Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito, right, as his wife Nancy watches on. Governor Charlie Baker has named Robert A. Durand, president of Durand & Anastas Environmental Strategies, an environmental consulting and lobbying firm, to the Massachusetts Fisheries and Wildlife Board. Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito conducted the swearing-in ceremony for the five-year term last Wednesday. State Rep. William “Smitty” Pignatelli, D-Lenox, Chairman of the Joint Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture, was one of about 10 Representatives and Senators who attended the swearing in. Smitty said some nice words and reminded everyone of how close Bob was to the late George (Gige) Darey. “I am so pleased and honored to receive this nomination to the board, which has been a part of my life in one way or another for most of my life,” Durand said. “I’m thankful to Gov. Baker and Lt. Gov. Polito for their confidence in me to carry out this vital mission to protect many critical aspects of our natural world, and with it, our quality of life in Massachusetts.” As one of the seven-member board, Durand will represent the Northeast Region, Middlesex and Essex counties, and replaces Fred Winthrop, who resigned from the board last fall. The board has various duties, including writing and overseeing all hunting and fishing regulations, Natural Resources and Endangered Species Act regulations, and is the appointing authority for the director of MassWildlife.

Hogarty This case study provides historical context and fresh perspectives for those seek- ing to understand the ways in which independent authorities operate in Massa- chusetts. More specifically, it examines the controversial performances of two separate authorities that deal with transportation problems. One involves a fail- ure to detect terrorists breaching security at Logan Airport; the other entails a bitter dispute that arose over the delay in raising tolls on the turnpike to pay for the Big Dig project. With both in mind, this study describes the countervailing pressures that converge on the executive branch of state government as it con- fronts the prospect of holding these two authorities accountable.
