Good Times on Youtube

Something we have been thinking about a lot lately here in UML admissions is how to use the internet to recruit students, or at least to give prospective students an idea of what is going on around here. One thing that a management class recently used is youtube.

However - and, to me, this is the absolute beauty of the internet and social networking sites and video sites like youtube - a quick search of the term 'UMass Lowell' on youtube yields way more than just the senior management projects. I thought I might check some some of those other results out. Here are my favorites:

A date auction at UMass Lowell. Those that I knew that attended (I did not) said it was a good time

A medley of late 80's and early 90's rap played by a live band at our spring carnival.

A firefighting robot. Stick with it before you decide that it is actually just a maze navigating robot.

A bungee race from Spring Carnival. I must say, this looks totally unfun to me.

This is fairly uneventful, but it does show our club men's volleyball team in our rec center and they don't get a lot of publicity.

This is a clip from UML's Mothers of Rock, which is an event that our MEISA program sponsors in conjunction with our Women's Week at UML. Good stuff.

"Resonance: An Attempt To Shatter Glass" The title speaks for itself.

This is strangely captivating. I really enjoy this one because it so accurately captures the parking experience here at UML. Hey, we are what we are.

I'm not sure I should be posting this one, but hey, it's funny and it came up in the search.

For the record, Marty Meehan is our new Chancellor.

This is a glimpse into Dr. Moser's class. Dr. Moser is original in a lot of ways. If you are a future management student, you will most likely want to take a class with him. He is one of those professors who you will tell stories about after college. Some day you will realize that those are the ones who are the best professors.
