President Hunter remembers philanthropist Charles Cawley in BDN article
President Susan J. Hunter was quoted in a Bangor Daily News article on the passing of former MBNA head and philanthropist Charles Cawley. Cawley’s credit card company and his corporate and personal generosity helped transform the state, especially in the midcoast area, where MBNA employed thousands, according to the article. President Hunter said his gifts to the university were tremendous. “Charlie was an amazing, thoughtful leader whose transformational vision for Maine, coupled with his generosity, made possible such valuable regional resources as UMaine’s Hutchinson Center in Belfast,” she said. “His dedication to Maine also is evident on the state’s flagship campus, helping make UMaine arts and other areas even more valuable assets to the state. He was truly an inspiration who has left a legacy in Maine.”
