Have
you been accepted to UMaine but are still unsure if this might be
the place for you?
Are you a student of color who asks questions like, "will I
make friends there?", "what is there to do on campus?", "?
The Multicultural Center (African, Latino, Asian, and Native American) Spring
Preview Weekend is designed to introduce accepted first year
students of color to the campus community and surrounding area.
During the weekend, students take part in educational and social
activities, panel discussions and more.

Participants
are invited based on their self identification of ethnicity on
their
application for undergraduate admission to the University
of Maine. Students must be accepted students (and/or confirmed)
to be invited. Participants will be hosted by current UMaine
students on campus in residence halls for two nights. Meals,
housing, and event costs will be paid for by the University of
Maine. Students who RSVP by the transportation deadline (refer to
your invitation) will be given the opportunity to have the
University of Maine assist with the cost of transportation to and
from campus. The
Multicultural Center Staff and
students hope that participants will use this experience to help
them in deciding to confirm their admission and attend UMaine in
the fall.
