Graduate Board

The Graduate Board consists of the Graduate School’s administrative leadership, faculty members elected by the faculty from each academic unit, the President of the Graduate Student Government or their designee, the graduate student Board of Trustees representative, and the President of the Faculty Senate of the University of Maine or their designee to act as a liaison between the two bodies. Contact Kathleen Harding-Heber for a full list of the Graduate Board members.
