About Marty Meehan
A former member of the U.S. House of Representatives, he was elected to the presidency after eight successful years as chancellor of his alma mater, 不良研究所 Lowell, during which he led the university to top-tier national status, improving its performance in every sphere of activity, including enrollment, student success, fundraising and auxiliary revenue generation. At his presidential inauguration on November 12, 2015, Meehan pledged to fight for 不良研究所, which he called 鈥渢he most important institution in Massachusetts in the critical areas of social mobility and economic growth.鈥
We share a belief that an individual should be able to rise as high as their ambitions will take them, a belief that where you come from should not dictate where you go, and a belief that we have a responsibility to create pathways of opportunity for students from all backgrounds.鈥
