To All Our Alumni and Friends:

Donations are always welcome. All of you who live in Maine know that the State budget is tight and that the University System is once again undergoing cuts. We at the Maine Business School have taken our share of budget reductions over the years and that has meant fewer dollars for faculty support, for supplies, for personnel and has hampered our ability to initiate or maintain programs attractive to students and employers. Our undergraduate student population has increased substantially (26% over three years - the highest growth rate in the University) and that has strained resources. Nevertheless, we have a relatively new Masters in Accounting, we offer an MBA and a management undergraduate business program in Belfast and are bringing on line a brand new MBA program. Much has happened despite budgetary problems.

Any contribution you might like to make would be helpful. You can specify what your contribution supports. You might want to help students through contributions to a scholarship fund. You might want to support a specific discipline. Or you might want to let the Dean decide what he thinks would be most helpful by giving to the Dean's Discretionary Fund. You could send a check to the University of Maine Business School. Include your name, address and any restrictions you want to place on the use of those funds.

It is also possible to give to the Maine Business School through the University's Annual Appeal. It can be found by clicking here.
