We have such a terrific university nearby. Have you and your family taken advantage of the many different events at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, yours free of charge?

With the leaves changing colors as a backdrop, UMD welcomes the public to take advantage of interesting exhibits, activities, lectures and events on campus and around New Bedford.

Have you ever experienced an evangelical revival? You'll be lifted higher and higher with the Night of Worship, or view extraordinary photography and sculpture at their downtown gallery.

If you appreciate classic antique cars, SHARE invites you to see some of the most beautiful cars. And when was the last time you and the children viewed the heavens with a telescope during the UMD Observatory's open house?

Great authors and celebrities, like Mark Helpern, talk about their books, and you can even learn how to administer Narcan during the Opioid Prevention Training program.

I hope you swing by the campus and take in some of the following activities!
