GLIDER STUDENTS Among The many aTTribuTes of U. lvlass., Bosfon, is The facT ThaT iT has such a wide array of sTudenTs, from all walks of life. Many of These sTu- denTs break away from The Typical sTereoType of college sTudenT . One such group is porfrayed in This ju-1 my 1 was 18 fOlder STudenTs Q , 'S' 'ferr ' 1 f.,s..,,,,.

They have families, jobs, and all The responsibilifies ThaT go wiTh Them, in addifion To Taking classes here aT U. lvlass. We would like To Take This Time To Thank all of These sTudenTs for all ThaT They conTribuTe To U. Mass.

Because we come from a ToTally differenT poinT of reference, full Time families and full Time responsibilifies, we could noT parTici- pafe in universiTy acTiviTies. The greaTesT loss of all was our inabiliTy To share a wealTh of life experience wiTh sTudenTs embarking on The journey of life. Perhaps The greaTesT joy was The friends ThaT we made while sfruggling To geT Through The nexT paper . These bonds are noT Those ThaT will be easi- ly broken. There are Too many experiences ThaT bind us TighTly Togefher. The ingredienfs are a com- binaTion of love, laughfer, Tears, joy, and an over- whelming sense of accomplishmenT. Our wish for The classes ThaT succeed is To keep a sense of humor, realize ThaT There is a lighT aT The end of The Tunnel, and cherish The friends and The memories ThaT you have accumulaTed Through your life as a college sTudenT.
