Our State's substantial community of resident visual artists has been given the public exposure it has long deserved. The Maine State Commission on the Arts and the Humanities is extremely proud to have served in initiating and funding this vital undertaking. In June of 1978, Commission members met and discussed the agency's involvement in the visual arts. The result, which was reaf- firmed in the months to follow, was a mandate to strengthen the Com- mission's support for visual arts through exhibition and recognition of Maine's practicing artists and through public education and increased funding.

    THE INAUGURATION OF CLAYTON S. ROSE Fifteenth President of Bowdoin College Saturday, October 17, 2015 10:30 a.m. Farley Field House Bowdoin College Brunswick, Maine Bricks The pattern of brick used in these materials is derived from the brick of the terrace of the Walker Art Building, which houses the Bowdoin College Museum of Art. The Walker Art Building is an anchor of Bowdoin’s historic Quad, and it is a true architectural beauty. It is also a place full of life—on warm days, the terrace is the first place you will see students and others enjoying the sunshine—and it is standing on this brick that students both begin and end their time at Bowdoin. At the end of their orientation to the College, the incoming class gathers on the terrace for their first photo as a class, and at Commencement they walk across the terrace to shake the hand of Bowdoin’s president and receive their diplomas.

  • Summer 2018 (PDF)
    FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW ENGLAND, WESTBROOK COLLEGE, AND ST. FRANCIS COLLEGE SUMMER 2018 PRESIDENT’S LETTER With the one-year anniversary of my joining the University of New England fast-approaching, I have been prompted to reflect on what my first year on the job has taught me about our community and what makes it so special. The one thing I keep coming back to is the depth of our commitment, across the board, to putting students first. On so many occasions, I have witnessed interactions between our faculty members and students or members of our professional staff and students that have made me very proud to be a Nor’easter. My colleagues embrace the responsibility of educating and guiding our students with such diligence, care, and affection that our students can’t help but respond by committing themselves with matching dedication to and passion for their work. It is fitting then, that the theme of this issue of the UNE Magazine is “students first.” In the pages to follow, you will learn more about the unique learning experiences our students enjoy and also about the organizations, programs, and recreational activities that combine to create a one-of-a-kind atmosphere for intellectual and personal growth. You will learn, as well, about our newest building, the Danielle N. Ripich Commons, which has provided our students, and all of us, with a visually stunning place to gather, swap ideas, share meals, and otherwise strengthen the strong bonds that already unite us on the Biddeford Campus. As the story and photos inside detail, this revolutionary facility was not only designed for students but by them as well.

  • MSSF Program
    MARCH 28, 2020 WELCOME TO THE 74TH ANNUAL March 28, 2020 | Online A SPECIAL NOTE This year, in an effort to hinder the spread of the novel coronavirus, we’re taking the Maine State Science Fair online. Judges will interview students through conferencing on the morning of Saturday, March 28. Transitioning MSSF to a virtual fair has been possible only with the perseverance of hundreds of people: students, teachers, judges, and the dedicated staff of Maine Mathematics & Science Alliance and The Jackson Laboratory. We thank everyone who’s come together to make it possible. We would also like to acknowledge the support UMaine gave to the fair in planning an in-person event, and we hope to work with them again soon to host the event on their campus. The Maine State Science Fair is affiliated with the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). Society for Science & the Public has canceled the event this year due to concerns about COVID-19. Awards for the 2020 Maine State Science Fair include: 3 Grand Prize Awards • In lieu of a trip to present at Regeneron ISEF, the top three projects at MSSF will be awarded with $500 prizes. Awards for the top three projects in each category Special Awards will be presented for the following organizations: Acadia Institute for Oceanography Society for Science & the Public American Meteorological Society Stockholm Junior Water Prize Association for Women Geoscientists The Jackson Laboratory Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences The Reach project at MMSA Hurricane Island Foundation University of New England Office of Naval Research U.S.

WALKER ON BEHALF OF MAINE INDEPENDENT COLLEGES ASSOCIATION BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON TAXATION In opposition to LD 659, An Act To Ease The Property Tax Burden By Authorizing Municipalities To Require Payments In Lieu Of Taxes From Certain Exempt Organizations Joint Standing Committee on Taxation April 14, 2021 Senator Chipman, Representative Terry, and members of the Taxation Committee, my name is Daniel Walker, and I am an attorney with Preti Flaherty and I am here today on behalf of the Maine Independent Colleges Association (MICA) to testify in opposition to LD 659. MICA represents 11 private, nonprofit colleges and universities1 throughout Maine that serve over 25,000 students, over 7,000 of whom are from Maine. These institutions are located in municipalities of all sizes across the State, from Maine’s largest city to small tourist towns and farming communities. Collectively, the 11 institutions are an economic force and an integral part of Maine’s Higher Educational eco-system. While they share the attributes of being private and nonprofit, these institutions are highly diverse and serve very different aspects of the educational needs of Maine people. Together they: Employ over 6,000 Maine workers. Have a total payroll in excess of $340 million. Have direct expenditures of over $615 million. Have an estimated economic impact on Maine’s economy of over a billion dollars each year. Directly contribute close to $2M to municipalities. Value of community service is over $24 million.
