HEARTY MAINE, BLACK BEARS!
Welcome back from Summer Break! We hope your travel back to campus was safe and that you had a chance to get some rest before the semester. We also want to acknowledge that this is a difficult time for many in our community. More than ever, it is important that we continue to care for one another, check in on our friends, and lean into the sense of community that keeps this campus strong. Please also be mindful of the resources available across campus and do not hesitate to share them with others. If you ever need help navigating those resources for yourself or a friend, please reach out to the Division of Student Life at 207-581-1406.
STILL WANT TO START A CLUB OR ORG?
If you have been sitting on an idea for a new group, there is time to take that first step. UMSG is here to help students turn their ideas into recognized student organizations and guide them through the process along the way. From the initial application and bylaws drafting to presentations before the Student Organizations Committee and General Student Senate, we are happy to help you through each step. If you want to learn more or get started, reach out to our Vice President of Student Organizations, Alayna Dana(alayna.dana@maine.edu).
GET INVOLVED WITH STUDENT GOVERNMENT!
There are plenty of ways to get involved with UMSG, whether you are interested in serving as a senator, joining a committee, or simply staying connected to what is happening on campus. General Student Senate meetings are held every Tuesday at 6:00 PM in the Bangor Room on the second level of the Memorial Union, and all undergraduate students are welcome to attend. If you cannot make it in person, you can still follow along by watching meetings live or accessing recordings afterward on our Senate YouTube channel. Even if you are not looking to join in an official capacity, we encourage you to stay engaged. Follow us on Instagram at @UMSGinc, send along your questions or ideas, or reach out directly to our Vice President of Student Leadership, Trishelle Ames (trishelle.ames@maine.edu) to learn more about how to get involved. UMSG works for you, and your voice plays an important role in shaping campus life!
