Campaign Maine - A Message from the President
As
the University of Maine's 18th president, I cherish this "job of a
lifetime"-leading Maine's flagship institution of higher education
during one of the most exciting and critical periods in our
state's history. What makes my job and our university so
exceptional? The answer is simple. It is the people, both locally
and nationally, who appreciate the University of Maine-and wish to
carry it over the threshold of greatness.
Our alumni and friends, our faculty and staff,
and our students and their families share qualities that can
transform the university they care about so deeply. They are among
the most talented, thoughtful, committed, compassionate, and
humble individuals we have ever met and, increasingly, feel like
family to Mary and me. As I consider such qualities, woven
together with a practical, purposeful spirit, I could not be more
optimistic about the University's future and Campaign Maine, its
most ambitious fundraising endeavor to date.
Campaign Maine is all about people,
opportunity, and impact-and about ensuring that UMaine, the
"College of Our Hearts always," flourishes for centuries to come.
This is a time for making and keeping promises to our state, its
people, and its university. Please join me in forging a legacy
that will last forever.
~ Robert A. Kennedy, Ph.D.
