‘The Maine Question’ reflects on one man’s 40-year journey at UMaine

The man known to many students as “Dean Dana” or “Dr. Dana” retired in January after four decades of service to the University of Maine community. Robert Dana, former vice president of student life and inclusive excellence and dean of students, guided students along their journeys through kindness, care and compassion.

For nearly a quarter of the university’s existence, Dana helped students through the highs and lows of being a college student and earning a degree — celebrating the joys and working through the challenges and tragedies.

In this episode of “The Maine Question” podcast, Dana reflects on his time at UMaine one week into his retirement.
