      The University of Massachusetts Amherst announced today the completion of the largest fund- raising campaign in the history of Massachusetts public higher education.

       University officials said the UMass Rising Campaign had surpassed its $300 million goal a year ahead of schedule, raising $379 million for the system’s flagship campus.   

      WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with UMass Amherst spokesman Ed Blaguszewski.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
