ORONO — Maine State Sen. Richard Rosen will visit the University of Maine on Tuesday, Oct. 1 as part of the Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center Distinguished Maine Policy Fellow Program.

Rosen will spend the day at UMaine, meeting with students, faculty members and staff members.  A Bucksport resident, he represents District 31, encompassing 22 communities in Penobscot and Hancock Counties.

The Distinguished Maine Policy Fellows Program, which began in the spring of 2006, brings Maine elected officials and senior policymakers to UMaine for intensive one-day programs through which they can learn more about UMaine, the Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center, and the work of the university’s faculty members and students. It is also intended to provide opportunities for UMaine students to have access to high-level public officials, through whom they can learn more about government and the development of public policy.
