AMHERST, Mass. – The University of Massachusetts Amherst has received a $1 million gift from two alumni to create a new center that will forge new collaborations between nurses and engineers, bringing together two fields that can improve personal well-being and save lives.
Committing $1 million in seed funding to help establish the Center for Nursing and Engineering Innovation, Michael ’76 and Theresa (Murphy) ’77 Hluchyj hope the center will be a place where nurses and engineers can collaborate on clinical solutions in new ways. “We are excited to support UMass in this new initiative,” says Michael Hluchyj. “Innovation is often accelerated at the intersection of different academic disciplines. The worldwide health crises resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic make clear the critical need for innovative solutions in clinical settings where both nursing and engineering play vital roles.”

Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. Schedule Changes
In a season that will likely be defined by adaptability, yesterday we learned of two big schedule shakeups. The Maryland women’s lacrosse team’s season opener at Johns Hopkins previously scheduled for Sunday was postponed “as mutually agreed upon out of an abundance of caution surrounding the health and safety of the participants due to positive COVID-19 testing results in the Blue Jays program,” according to a statement.

We rejoice in the return to play. The healing characteristics of lacrosse the physical and mental health benefits for the participants, coaches, families and fans.
2021 will be a week-to-week endeavor. Expect stops and starts, a bumpy road, unpredictable and imperfect. Celebrate your negative tests. We ve seen at least three programs (UMass, Johns Hopkins and Michigan) affected because of campus spreads of the virus. Set a good example. Be the great citizen. Don t be afraid to explain to people that your health and safety and that of others on campus is critical right now. And when you earn the right to take the field and compete, do so with appreciation. Hit the reset button at the end of the week. Last week s success means nothing today; there s no carryover.
