At approximately 9:24 a.m. on Friday, April 19, a University of Maine graduate student was struck by a university vehicle on Long Road at the University of Maine campus in Orono. The student reports that they are at a local hospital with minor injuries.

Emergency services, including the Orono Fire Department, University Volunteer Ambulance Corps, University of Maine Police Department, Orono Police Department and Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene.

The university vehicle involved in the incident was a Chevrolet Express van. It was being operated by a university employee.

Counseling services and support are available for students, faculty or staff who may have been affected. The Counseling Center can be reached at 207-581-1392 and the Dean of Students Office can be reached at 207-581-1406.

The scene has been cleared and Long Road is now accessible. An investigation is being conducted by the University of Maine Police Department with assistance from the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office Crash Reconstruction Unit. Any witnesses to the incident are encouraged to contact Lt. Noel Santiago at noel.santiago@maine.edu.

Overview:

The Food Court has room for roughly 24 tables. Each group will be issued warming pans and serving plates. Paper plates, eating utensils, cups, etc. will be provided. Food sales begin at 11:00 and end around 2:00, or until the food runs out. Jeff’s Catering delivers and picks up the warming pans so we need to work with their schedule.

Who:

Only groups that have a campus representative are allowed to sell food. The campus representative should be the contact listed on the form. If we have multiple entries from one country we may ask groups to work together.

What:

Food should be completely cooked on arrival at the Rec. Center. We cannot allow raw food to be cooked on location. Warming pans may be limited. Each group will have only one table unless they receive prior approval from OIP Staff.

Participants are encouraged to make a nice display at their table but please do not hang anything on the walls behind the tables.

For questions, contact Nick Neily at nicholas.neily@maine.edu

We are no longer accepting Food Sale registrations at this time.
