Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on December 30, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Marty Meehan! From navigating the halls of Congress to steering UMass Lowell toward excellence, you've proven that politics and academia can indeed mix—especially when you're at the helm. Your tireless dedication has transformed campuses and communities alike; clearly your secret is either boundless energy or an endless supply of coffee.

Here's wishing you another year filled with achievements as impressive as editing Wikipedia entries (we haven't forgotten!) and inspiring students across Massachusetts. May your birthday be free from filibusters, full of bipartisan cake-sharing agreements—and may all future edits about you remain accurate...at least until tomorrow morning!
