MASSPIRG—UMass Amherst Chapter

Results are in -- we won! Nearly 80% of students who voted in the student government elections voted YES for MASSPIRG to continue funding our chapter at UMass Amherst through the $11/semester waivable fee. Thank you for the support!

🥳Hump-Day Highlight! 🥳

Stephen Chatelle 😎

It’s the first Wednesday back from break, and that means the first highlight back from break! This highlight focuses on another Affordable Textbooks and 100% Intern! The Affordable Textbooks Campaign claimed him as our mascot, we love Stephen! 🤩 But enough from me, let’s hear from him!!

“My name is Stephen Chatelle and I am a Kinesiology major here at UMASS in the class of 2023. I am an currently and intern with MASSPIRG and I do work on both the Affordable Textbooks and 100% campaigns. I joined MASSPIRG in spring 2021 because I wanted to improve my leadership skills and do work I was passionate about. As time went on I started to love the work and saw myself growing as a person. I developed public speaking, organizing, and many more skills. This semester, I’m excited to work with my fellow activists to accomplish our goals.”
