UMaine student named McDonald’s ‘Crew Person of the Year,’ media report
The Bangor Daily News, WLBZ (Channel 2), WABI (Channel 5) and WVII (Channel 7) reported University of Maine senior Lee Jackson was one of 25 McDonald’s workers in the nation to be named Crew Person of the Year. Jackson is a political science major who also is pursuing a minor in Maine studies. In addition to working at McDonald’s for nearly three years, Jackson has been working as an intern for Sen. Susan Collins for the last five months and serves on the Old Town school board, according to the BDN. “What a wonderful and well-deserved honor. Anyone who can balance three jobs, take care of constituents and go to school [deserves to be honored]. How wonderful for all of New England,” Collins said. “I’m not ready to graduate just yet but I think no matter what I want to do I want to work for a company I can be proud of that really talks about service to the community and giving back,” Jackson told WLBZ.
