UMass Amherst Receives $4 Million in Research Gifts

AMHERST — UMass Amherst has accepted gifts and commitments totaling $4 million from longtime supporters John and Elizabeth Armstrong to advance the university’s research enterprise. The gifts establish the UMass Amherst Research Continuity Fund, the Armstrong Graduate Research Grant Fund, and the Armstrong Chancellor Professorships Award Fund, all of which will underwrite research contributions across a broad range of disciplines at UMass Amherst. In April, the Armstrongs made a $500,000 gift to the UMass Amherst Research Continuity Fund, which was established to provide immediate support to continue vital research despite federal funding interruptions and uncertainty about future funding in fields such as health equity, climate change, and gender-related issues. The Armstrong Graduate Research Grant Fund, established with a $1 million gift, will provide grants in support of research conducted by graduate students at UMass Amherst. This fund will be a crucial resource for doctoral students pursuing dissertation research, graduate student access to training in innovative methods, and students looking to participate in research projects supervised by faculty that directly foster their completion of an advanced degree. The remaining $2.5 million portion of the Armstrongs’ commitment will create an endowed Armstrong Chancellor Professorships Award Fund. Administered by the chancellor and provost, this fund will enable the university to retain outstanding, tenured faculty members who have made or can make significant contributions to the academic reputation of the university.

HCC Celebrates Opening of New Tech Center

HOLYOKE — Holyoke Community College (HCC) celebrated the grand opening of its new Tech Center with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Sept. 3. The HCC Tech Center, located on the second floor of the HCC Campus Center, is a new space dedicated to providing students with all the technological support they need to be successful. Funding for the Tech Center came from a $250,000 Tech Rise grant HCC received from the Employment and Training Administration, which is part of the U.S. Department of Labor. The money was principally used to buy furniture, computers, and other technology for the center, as well as the hiring of student interns. Alongside Manager Walter Pfau and other IT staff, the Tech Center will be run by a team of student interns who can also offer one-on-one support to their classmates who need assistance with their devices, computer programs, and apps. Previously, students had to go across campus to the first floor of the Frost Building to the IT Help Desk for all their computer needs. The HCC Tech Center is more centrally located, across from Student Engagement, adjoining the HCC Bookstore, and steps away from the cafeteria and food court, where students tend to congregate between classes. In addition to one-on-one tech support, the Tech Center has computer stations for students to use, a classroom for interactive workshops and meetings, and cubicles where other HCC support staff, such as financial aid counselors, can set up shop during special events, like Registration Express and Accepted Students Days.

Yankee Candle Empties Moat for Dakin Humane Society

SPRINGFIELD — Dakin Humane Society was recently the recipient of a donation that totaled more than $11,000 from Yankee Candle Co. The funds came from coins tossed in Yankee Candle Village’s in-store moat, adjacent to its Bavarian Village, by store visitors between 2019 and June 2025. The coins were placed in 48 baskets and were trucked from Yankee Candle Village in South Deerfield to Dakin’s Springfield location by Yankee Candle’s Jeff Palmer, Sales and Operations manager, and Ben Ware, Property and Guest Services manager. Ware’s team handled the process of cleaning the moat and removing the coins. Once at Dakin, it took a team of 40 volunteers nearly four weeks to clean and sort the coins into separate denominations and prepare them for bank deposit. The total value of the coins is still being processed by the bank, which takes additional time, but the preliminary amount indicates a donation of more than $11,000. The donation has been a longstanding tradition of generosity from Yankee Candle that originated in 1994. The late Mike Kittredge, founder of Yankee Candle, was known by many to be an animal lover and decided the moat money should be directed to Dakin to help support its animals, programs, and services. Each year since, the coins in the moat were collected and brought to Dakin until the COVID pandemic halted the process in 2020.

 

DC Station to Open on Oct. 4

NORTHAMPTON — Developer Bruce Volz will open a modern fueling station, called DC Station, at 5 Fulton Ave. in Northampton on Oct. 4, providing 10 fast, level-3 charging ports for electric vehicles (EVs) and a place for drivers to grab a cup of coffee or meal while they wait. The station — named DC for direct current — will also offer a learning hub, EV Base Camp, for those interested in EVs. The grounds will be landscaped with native plants to support local ecosystems and biodiversity. An array of solar panels will cover the charging stations to help defray the cost of the electricity. Volz seeks tenants for DC Station to join in this enterprise — in particular, a coffee house or café to serve customers from early morning to afternoon, and a casual restaurant, such as a pizza or taco house, that would be open until later in the evening. The lot housing DC Station was previously the site for a gas station and used car lot, Pleasant Journey. The Planning Board unanimously approved Volz’s project in June 2024. The facility faces Fulton Street, with access to charging and parking on Conz and Pleasant streets; the level-3 chargers supplied by Lynkwell are expected to be operational on Oct. 4.

 

Forbes Library Opens Hess Performance Stage

NORTHAMPTON — Forbes Library in Northampton celebrated the opening of the new Hess Performance Stage on the library’s west lawn with a grand opening on Sept. 13 with an event featuring the O-Tones playing swing, blues, soul, Motown, Latin, and R&B. The stage is open air with a covered roof and ramped handicap access. It has lights and electricity, and soon will also have a sound system. This project is many years in the making and is intended to provide the necessary infrastructure for outdoor programs and events as well as a new community gathering space. The library has a long tradition of outdoor programming, with the first photographed event held in 1918 when an overflow crowd got together on the library grounds to sing patriotic songs in celebration of the end of World War I. The stage was designed by HAI Architects of Northampton and built by Campora Construction Inc. of Ludlow. It has a steel structure and curved roof profile inspired by the arches of the library’s building and featuring colors that also reflect the sandstone and granite of the building. The project was funded by substantial gifts from Marjorie Hess and Rudolph Talaber, for whom the stage is named, along with additional support provided by the Friends of Forbes, the city of Northampton, the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism, MassDevelopment, AARP Massachusetts, and many individual donors.
