TV Coverage of Fifth-Graders’ Campus Visit

In Channel 5 (WABI) and a Channel 2 (WLBZ) news reports, Jason Hoyt of Black Bear Properties at the University of Maine described the purpose of a recent visit to the UMaine campus last week of 200 fifth-grade students from the greater Bangor area and Lewiston as part of the second annual Weight Watchers of Maine and Black Bears of Tomorrow program. The students toured the campus, visited several science laboratories and Fogler Library, and discussed fitness and health. Hoyt said a big part of the program was to introduce the youngsters to UMaine so they could learn what college is about.
