Jacqueline Horgan is a bioengineer, cheerleading captain, volunteer tutor, and Honors College student. She says UMassD gave her the opportunity to pursue ambitious research while still enjoying the full college experience. How and why did you get interested in bioengineering? "I was in a biomedical sciences program in high school as part of Project Lead the Way, and it introduced me to the field. I learned a lot of lab techniques, as well as how broad the field was and the different ways it could be applied. I really liked how the work I would be doing as a job could help improve patients' lives." Why did you choose UMass Dartmouth? "I chose UMassD because of the small class sizes; I would know who all my professors were, and I knew I could feel comfortable asking questions. Faculty here are very accessible during and outside of office hours. I also found opportunities for undergraduate research and other experiences outside of the curriculum that I might not have had access to at a bigger school. I love that the department's curriculum is student-specific; it allows you to take classes in the specialty you're most interested in. "The school really felt like home - I was instantly comfortable, and I was able to participate in activities that I love like cheerleading alongside my schoolwork." How would you describe your experience at UMassD? "Even with COVID-19, I still got the complete college experience: a well-rounded education, lots of opportunities, lots of support, an...

by This article is featured in the 2023 Commencement & Reunions special issue. The name Buddy Teevens ’79 strikes a chord beyond Dartmouth — even NFL commissioner Roger Goodell stops when he hears the name. “Buddy is a force — a force for the good of football but more broadly [for] communities,” Goodell said. “He made football better, but he did it in the context of making Dartmouth better — and at every place he was, he made it better.” Goodell spoke while standing in a place familiar to Teevens. A complex that Teevens, with the help of his vast array of supporters, rebuilt almost 20 years ago. Floren Varsity House, a 44,000 square-feet building, was built because of Teevens; Memorial Stadium was renovated because of Teevens. It was only right, then, that Goodell — a footstep away from exiting Memorial Stadium last Tuesday — stopped when I, an over-eager, freshman reporter, called his name. He stopped because of Teevens. A chance encounter in France In the spring of 1977, in a city far removed from rural New Hampshire, Teevens himself was stopped. It happened in Bourges, France, on a lonely soccer field. Midway through a pickup soccer game, a flock of muscular French rugby players rapidly approached Teevens. “They saw Buddy, [whom they immediately called Tarzan], and they immediately recruited Buddy for their rugby team,” Ben Riley ’79, who met Teevens his sophomore spring during a study abroad program, said. While Teevens was a great athlete, what Riley and Peggy Tanner ...
