UMaine Today Online



UMaine News - Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2008


Inside UMaine Now Online
Inside UMaine, the university's monthly faculty/staff newsletter, is now exclusively available on the Web at http://www.umaine.edu/insideumaine. The shift to an online presentation creates opportunities for more regular updates and it allows for more content than the four-page printed format. Regular features include President Kennedy's monthly Go Blue message, staff profiles, the "Along the Mall" listing of faculty presentations and publications, and monthly highlights from UMaine Today Online. The site also provides navigation links to other online UMaine information sources, including the calendar of events.

Camp Out for YouthAIDS Planned
Sigma Phi Epsilon (SigEp) fraternity at the University of Maine is hosting the annual Camp Out for YouthAIDS on the corner of the mall, near Fogler Library. SigEp will be on the mall collecting donations for YouthAIDS through Friday, Sept. 5. The camp out is one of SigEps biggest events all year and usually pulls in about $1,500, all of which is donated to increase awareness of AIDS among people ages 15-24. SigEp members are asking anyone with a spare dollar or change to stop by and donate to help make this the largest donation yet. A news release with more information is here.
