When actor Bill Pullman ’80G, ’08PhD (Hon) appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show, he got an unexpected surprise from fellow alumni Hillary Wright ’84 and Tony Holowitz ’84, who shared their UMass Amherst love story from the audience.

Pullman and his wife, Tamara Hurwitz ’81, also met at UMass Amherst, making the moment an especially meaningful one.

The surprise was orchestrated by Hillary and Tony's son, John Holowitz ’14, a digital video editor for the show.

What can $5 do? At Isenberg School of Management, it can be the start of something bigger.

The Isenberg Senior Gift Campaign isn't about how much students give—it's about coming together to create opportunities for future generations. Since 2009, Isenberg seniors have funded scholarships, student amenities, and other meaningful improvements across the school.

This year, 83% of graduating seniors joined in, helping fund a new balance room where future students can unplug, recharge, and reflect.
