The Dr. Carol B. Gilmore Memorial Service Award was established in 2015 by an anonymous donor. This fund was established in honor of Dr. Gilmore, to reward a Maine Business School faculty member for outstanding service to the community, the University, and the School. Dr. Gilmore taught at UMaine and the Maine Business School from 1977 until the end of the Fall 2011 semester. In 2006, she received the university’s prestigious Presidential Public Service Achievement Award, recognizing a lifetime of service to the university and the communities of Maine.
