WABI (Channel 5) and WLBZ/WCSH (Channels 2 and 6) reported on the largest Accepted Student Day held at the University of Maine. A record 3,300 prospective students and their families were on campus March 25 for information sessions, tours and presentations. “It’s a challenge for us; it’s a great kind of problem for us to have,” Jeffrey Hecker, UMaine’s executive vice president for academic affairs and provost, told WLBZ about the large turnout. “We’re thrilled that so many people are interested in UMaine.” Joel Wincowski, the vice president for enrollment management at UMaine, told WABI the day allows prospectives students to get a “good feel for whether they want to attend UMaine.”
