The University of Massachusetts Board of Trustees committee approved $546 million dollars worth of construction projects that would benefit all five campuses on Wednesday.
The building program, which has already spent $2 billion over the last decade, aims to improve the campuses further with new academic, housing, and parking facilities.
“The University of Massachusetts has been building world-class facilities in keeping with its recent designation as one of the best universities in the world,” said President Jack M. Wilson. “These are facilities that our students need to have a world-class learning experience.”
The construction is being seen to many as not only an improvement with the facilities, but also as fiscally smart and economically stimulating.

As we talked about in class, you had a really nice intro. It flowed and made a lot of sense as a reader. It perked my interest, so I’m sure others would feel the same way.
One thing I would say, is to review your grammar and wordiness. Make sure the words you use apply. And also with the attribution to Wilson, you may not have none about the need to say ‘In a prepared release..’ but at least now you do.
I thought this was great. It was my favorite of the examples we read in class. I think your strengths here are that you are concise and you presented the information with a nice flow.
