Professional Development
What is UMaine GRAD?
UMaine GRAD was designed to provide a framework for graduate students to learn and master the skills necessary to succeed in personal and professional opportunities at UMaine and beyond. One of our goals is for our UMaine graduate students to be confident, mindful, attentive, intelligent, and exceptional in all realms of life.
To do this, we created a platform for students to continue to grow, become resilient, strive for advancement, and deliver their ideas and themselves in the most upstanding way.
