Spotlight
Recent ActivityIn recognition of the consistent excellence of our program and of our students, every Spotlight graduate who enrolls at UMass Dartmouth is automatically admitted into the University Honors Program.
Students who are eligible must be in good academic standing and in grades 10-12. Students attend lectures, mini courses and a field trip culminating at Harvard University. This provides an invaluable learning opportunity, and the chance to develop the skills they'll need for college. Diman's liaison is Liz Jonsson. All sessions meet at the UMass Dartmouth campus, Group LARTS-117, from 3:15 to 5:30 each Thursday. Visitor's parking is available in Lot 6. You can reach Trace Holmes, Program Coordinator at (617-417-5328). Learn more here.
