UMass Boston - Winter/Spring 2007-2008 - (Page 12) Return and Renewal: Special Experiences of Journey and Place exCerptS From the iNAugurAl ADDreSS oF ChANCellor J. Keith motleY As Chancellor Motley gave his inaugural address, the stage party looked on. Governor Patrick is on the chancellor’s right in the photo, UMass President Jack Wilson on his left. I have chosen the theme of return and renewal as my point of departure, to share some of my thoughts about the University of Massachusetts Boston and my sense of its future…. In life, there are many “returns” that one can experience, both in reality and metaphorically: a return to one’s native land; a return of an identity; a return to good health from illness; and a return to home, however one defines that…. On a personal level, my arrival at the chancellorship speaks volumes about return and renewal. It’s a homecoming—to a campus I love. [In 1964, UMass Boston’s founders] sought to have this university offer its students an education equal in quality to that provided by the best private liberal arts colleges and universities anywhere. They also urged that, as an urban university, we should, “stand with the city,” serving and leading “where the battle is.” Our merger with Boston State College, which had its origins in a Girls High and Normal School and in providing educational opportunities to underserved populations, gives further expression to standing with the city and what we have come to call the “urban mission.” n umass boston
