The University Bookstore at UMaine has selected the Orono Student Nurses’ Association (OSNA) as the 2012 recipient of proceeds from the annual commemorative holiday ornament sale. OSNA is a pre-professional organization for nursing students at UMaine that offers a strong mentorship program essential in the progression from a student to a professional nurse, according to Keven Higgins, associate director of the University Bookstore. The ornament sale — this year a depiction of the UMaine Black Bear statue near Memorial Gym — is intended to benefit a university student organization that works to help others in the community. “The students in these organizations like OSNA dedicate their energy and talent to making a difference,” Higgins says. “The University Bookstore is honored to recognize their important work through the ornament program. We are a student-focused organization, and this initiative is a special way that we can give back. And to celebrate the 10th year anniversary of this program just shows how special it is.”
