BELFAST — As the University of Maine’s Hutchinson Center prepares to begin its seventh academic year in Belfast, students, faculty members and staff members will host an open house at the Belmont Ave. facility from 4-6 p.m. on Wednesday Aug. 22.
UMaine offers courses and entire degree programs at the Belfast location. The Aug. 22 event will offer opportunities for visitors to learn more about the Hutchinson Center and what it offers through the eyes of those who know it best, including current and former students. The open house will include information about how to register for Hutchison Center courses, and how to access information about financial aid.
The Hutchinson Center enters a new era with the beginning of the 2006-2007 academic year. UMaine has operated the facility since 2000 under a lease agreement with MBNA, the building’s former owner. Earlier this summer, Bank of American, which took ownership of the property in early 2006, made a gift of the building to the university, assuring its long-term presence in mid-coast Maine.
