Maine Day of Service 2025

May 1, 2025 Activities, News, Newsletter

Students from the Intensive English Institute participated in a UMaine tradition by taking part in the Maine Day of Service on Wednesday, April 30th.

First, we joined the Honors College for the Maine Day Meal Packout. More than 53,000 meals were packed and are being distributed to food banks and shelters across the state.

Next, we helped the Fogler Library’s staff tidy up the gardens around the library. We wrapped up joining students and staff for the campus BBQ on the mall. Our newest staff member joined the team and it was his first time as well. Go Blue!
