President Hunter appears on ‘Bill Green’s Maine’

University of Maine President Susan J. Hunter was featured on an episode of “Bill Green’s Maine” on WLBZ (Channel 2 in Bangor) and WCSH (Channel 6 in Portland). The segment touched on the background and goals of UMaine’s first woman president. “I think of myself as somebody who leads the university from within the community, not someone who was dropped on top of it,” said President Hunter, who began her full-time career at UMaine in 1991. Green called President Hunter a “visible, confident, straight-shooter who’s determined to strengthen Maine’s land grant university and its mission to educate the next generation of this state.” “I work for the University of Maine, but I really think of it as I work for the people of the state of Maine,” President Hunter said.
