Mills ‘82, Ph.D. and Foundation President President and CEO Buchanan Alumni House Raising aspirations and creating opportunities. The University of Maine Foundation Two Alumni Place is grateful to you for your part in inspiring UMaine students over the past year. Orono, ME 04469-5792 207.581.5100 | 800.982.8503 Although 2020 has unfolded in ways none of us anticipated, we have been looking forward to June 30, 2020 [email protected] for some time now. The date marks the completion of the University of Maine’s Vision for Tomorrow umainefoundation.org comprehensive campaign. With over $208 million in funds raised, we are happy to report that the $200 million goal was exceeded. This investment in UMaine comes at a time when it is needed most. Transforming and adapting for a future which is still unfolding is a task which requires resources. The full impact of this campaign will be revealed for years to come. Every single one of the 104,763 gifts is threaded back to raising aspirations and creating opportunities for UMaine students. One way is through the students who are able to continue their studies as a result of new scholarships. Another is through students who take their UMaine education along with the lessons in fortitude acquired during this pandemic to make the world a better place. The list goes on. In 2022, the Ferland Engineering Education and Design Center will open its doors to welcome students with active learning classrooms and laboratories to prepare them for cutting-edge careers in engineer- ing. More world-class works of art will be accessible from the new galleries at the Zillman Art Museum. The next Maine-rooted astronaut may be inspired by a show at the Versant Power Astronomy Center. The sky is the limit! Though the challenges of 2020 have been unprecedented, fundraising has remained strong, thanks to so many donors. Some highlights include: A $1.3 million naming gift from education leaders and arts supporters, Donald and Linda Zillman, will expand and enhance the University of Maine Museum of Art, now known as the Zillman Museum of Art (ZAM) The groundbreaking for the Ferland Engineering Education and Design Center was held on schedule in April Record number of giving society members Endowments supporting UMaine now exceed $314,398,353, the highest value ever Our fundraising partners The Student Crisis Fund was launched and has raised over $220,000 to help students with emergency funds University of Maine Maine 4-H Foundation University of Maine Pulp More details of the results of the Vision for Tomorrow campaign are on pages 6-11.

Fuentes ‘85G Jeffery N. Mills ‘82, Ph.D. 2 UNIVERSITY OF MAINE FOUNDATION Chair of the Board President/CEO 2020 ANNUAL REPORT 3 A message from the President of the University of Maine and University of Maine at Machias We are proud and excited to be announcing the very successful completion of our Vision for Tomorrow comprehensive campaign in this annual report. I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to everyone who participated. From the single largest capital gift in UMaine’s history to the contributions of 35,499 additional donors who shared our vision, this fundraising effort has been unprecedented, securing more than $208 million in new investment in our flagship campus, exceeding the $200 million goal. The campaign’s 2020 vision opened opportunities for new scholarships, much- needed state-of-the-art facilities, and bold initiatives in the arts, humanities, STEM and more. Together, we focused on the four campaign pillars — Fostering Student Success, Ensuring Access for All of Maine, Catalyzing Maine’s Economy and Accelerating Discovery to Impact — that are more important today in the midst of a pandemic than ever before. Through higher education, today’s students are engaged and prepared. We are living in extraordinary times and the challenges have enabled us to innovate, partner, focus on learning outcomes and look to science for answers like never before. As Maine’s research university, we have a leadership role in ensuring the future of this state and contributing to the greater good. The Harold Alfond Foundation recently announced a transformational $240 million grant to the University of Maine System. I want to thank previous UMaine presidents who were instrumental in designing this proposal and moving it forward. This opportunity, and the recently completed Vision for Tomorrow comprehensive campaign, have put the University of Maine in a strong position to continue to lead, respond and advance new knowledge. I look forward to continuing our work together as we define tomorrow.

This day of presentations of scholarly and creative activities by our undergraduate students is the culmination of a year long collaboration between the students and their faculty mentors. The many presentations, posters, performances and exhibits illustrate an impressive level of accomplishment as a result of these relationships. We will see the participation of 430 students and 226 faculty members in this year’s Symposium. Additionally, donors and friends of EMU now support 22 Symposium Undergraduate Research Fellows. As you explore the extraordinary breadth and depth of student scholarly and creative activity, you will discover the special synergy of teaching and learning that powers this year’s Symposium program. Now in its 33rd year, EMU’s Undergraduate Symposium is one of the longest standing events of its kind in the country. In 1980, former provost and professor of chemistry, Dr. Ronald Collins, conceived the idea of presenting undergraduate student research to the University community, which was supported by then president Dr. John Porter. The first event began with a handful of students and faculty mentors from the College of Arts and Sciences. Each president and provost since has supported the Undergraduate Symposium and acted to enhance its stature. Many faculty and staff have worked hard to make this Undergraduate Symposium a success. I gratefully acknowledge the efforts of the volunteer Symposium Planning Committee and its chair, Dr.

  • 2013-14 Annual Report of Private Giving
    HONORING OUR PAST, SHAPING OUR FUTURE 2013– 14 ANNUAL REPORT OF PRIVATE GIVING ALVIN “AL” MCNEILLY ’44 made gifts to the University of Maine over more than 39 consecutive years prior to his death on June 19, 2014. His lifetime giving totaled more than $800,000, including generous matches from his longtime employer, ExxonMobil. UMaine established the Loyal M Society in 2013 to recognize donors like McNeilly, whose faithful giving has made a tremendous difference to the state’s land grant university. A committed volunteer, McNeilly served as president of both the University of Maine Alumni Association and the President’s Development Council. More recently, he initiated a “class adoption program,” in which the Class of 1944 mentored the Class of 2010, sharing UMaine traditions that cross generations. “It’s hard to imagine a more loyal alumnus than Al,” says Todd Saucier, president of the University of Maine Alumni Association. “Al was very involved at UMaine as a student through his membership in Kappa Sigma, Sophomore Owls and Senior Skulls, and as treasurer and vice president of his class. His leadership was also evident in his service as captain of the baseball team. Al credited UMaine for much of his professional and personal success, and was truly one of a kind in his enthusiasm for our university.” “From our first moments on campus, Al charged us to make the most of our time at UMaine and to leave an impact on the school well after we graduated. His commitment to the university for a full 70 years as an alumnus inspires all who knew Al or were touched by his efforts.” Matt Ciampa ’10 2 0 1 3 – 1 4 ANNUAL REPORT OF PRIVATE GIVING CONTENTS Letter from President Susan J.

Thanks to you, we are able to attract and retain outstanding faculty and staff, and engage with communities throughout and well beyond our state.
