Summer Session There's still time to register for an online summer course! The next session begins on July 6. Appreciating the gift of opportunity At our online 140th Commencement celebration, student speaker Leyla M. Hashi ’20 reflected on some pivotal opportunities that impacted and shaped her life goals. She implored her fellow Class of 2020 graduates to take advantage of opportunities that come their way to better themselves and to act in service to the betterment of others. Recent graduate earns Fulbright consideration In addition to getting accepted into master’s degree programs focused on landscape archeology at five prestigious universities in England and Ireland, Julia Gustafson ’20 is a Fulbright Alternate. She credits university faculty and staff for guiding her through the Fulbright application process, and her research experience, including two fellowships, for gaining the attention of the 2020 Fulbright jurors. Award-winning student research Two of our students were among the top three higher education honorees at the 2020 Bioscience Association of Maine (BioME) student showcase of science research. Anastasia D’Amico ’20 took second prize for her cancer-focused research with implications for multiple myeloma. Master’s in biology candidate Rachel Cray took third prize for her work with astaxanthin, a red carotenoid pigment that may have significant health benefits. Archiving signs of the times History professor Libby Bischof is asking for help to crowd-source an online archive of COVID-19-related signage called “Signs of the Times: Documenting COVID-19 Signs in Southern Maine.” She wants to capture the pandemic as it unfolds so the archive can one day serve as a reminder for those who experienced it and as a slice of history for those who come later. Connect With Us: Virtual Online Experiences While we have suspended in-person, on-campus visits and tours to protect the well-being of our visitors and the University, there are still many dynamic opportunities to take a closer look at our thriving academic community. You can explore campus through a virtual tour, attend an informational online webinar, and join a one-on-one video chat with a current student or admissions counselor. We’re looking forward to connecting with you! President Cummings Stand Against Racism statement As a university, USM stands against racial injustices.
