ORONO — Since 1906, the Senior Skull Honor Society has represented the best of the University of Maine. More than 1,250 UMaine graduates have been elected as Senior Skulls, based upon their leadership, character, campus and community involvement, and outstanding academic achievement. Over ten decades, these alumni have distinguished themselves as role models at Maine’s flagship university.
Senior Skulls in the Class of 2006 will host the Senior Skull Centennial Celebration on Saturday, May 6, 2006. The short program will feature remarks by UMaine President Robert A. Kennedy and alumni leaders beginning at approximately 1 p.m.
In addition to the current class of Senior Skulls, alumni, campus administrators and others, the Centennial Celebration will be the first official function of the Senior Skull class of 2007, who will be inducted on Saturday, April 29 at Buchanan Alumni House.
The Senior Skulls have also announced the establishment an endowment through the University of Maine Foundation to mark their 100-year milestone. Several alumni have already stepped forward in support of the project, ensuring the group’s continued presence on campus for many years to come.
