Newspaper profiles graduating student

Robin Arnold, a long-time UMaine staff member who graduates Saturday with a bachelor’s degree, is profiled in a Saturday Bangor Daily News story. An administrative associate in the School of Social Work, Arnold started course work 12 years ago on her way to a degree in Earth Sciences.  The story, which includes comments from her adviser, Prof. Joe Kelley, details Arnold’s academic work including a research expedition to Antarctica. Her extensive community service contributions include, as the story reports, helping to start the Black Bear Exchange food pantry and thrift shop.
