Presenters needed for annual 4-H@UMaine
The annual 4-H@UMaine: Connecting Kids to Campus will be held May 18–19 at the University of Maine. Designed to build college and career aspirations for middle and early high school youth, the event last year attracted 75 middle and high school students.
Participation by UMaine faculty, students and staff is key to the success of 4-H@UMaine, created to encourage Maine youth to look ahead to college, preferably at UMaine. The program includes three 75-minute workshop sessions on May 19.
Presenters choosing to deliver one, two or three sessions have the opportunity to engage middle and high school students, pilot new materials, encourage undergraduate and graduate students to create and deliver educational experiences related to their fields of study, and meet departmental outreach goals.
For participants, it is an opportunity to engage in hands-on-learning, and to visualize themselves as future UMaine students. For more information, contact Laura Wilson at 581.2971, laura.wilson@maine.edu.
