Dear Friends,
Welcome to the University of Maine. I hope this virtual visit will prompt a real visit soon. Until then, I invite you to tour our university through our family of Web sites. In them, you’ll discover all that UMaine has to offer.
The University of Maine is the University of Maine System’s flagship campus. Located in the town of Orono, UMaine was founded in 1865 and stands as Maine’s only land- and sea-grant institution. Almost 12,000 undergraduate and graduate students from all over the world come here each semester to achieve their highest aspirations. Backed by our nationally recognized faculty, state-of-the-art learning facilities and 184 programs of study, they are challenged to do their best work on a vibrant campus that houses the state’s largest library. UMaine is one of the safest campuses in the Northeast, boasting low student-faculty ratios, hands-on research for graduates and undergraduates, and a terrific quality of life filled with year-round recreational opportunities.
Of course nothing compares to visiting our campus in person, and I hope you’ll come to UMaine to see it for yourself. Until then, enjoy your tour of the University of Maine and thank you for visiting.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Kennedy
President
