Students create list of things to do before graduating UMaine, WVII reports
WVII (Channel 7) reported on a capstone project created this past spring by 23 University of Maine seniors in a communication course. The project, “50 Things to Do Before You Graduate from the University of Maine,” was developed by Claire Sullivan, an associate professor of communication and journalism, in collaboration with UMaine’s Division of Marketing and Communications. “Some students got to their senior year and they had never done some of the things they really should have known about,” Sullivan said. Undergraduates in Sullivan’s class conducted in-person interviews with 286 UMaine students in different majors and years in school to get their input to compile the list of 50 must-do activities and places to see. “It lets me know what’s in the area and things I can do off campus and on campus when I’m not studying or in classes,” said first-year student Jordan Lamkins. Sullivan encouraged students to “get a little bit out of your comfort zone, try some new things, meet some new people.”
