WABI covers UMaine raffle to win free tuition for a year
WABI (Channel 5) covered the drawing of the University of Maine Alumni Association’s Annual Tuition Raffle, which offers one year of in-state tuition at UMaine for the winner. Family and friends were allowed to enter the drawing on behalf of a student, WABI reported. “The university itself is very supportive of its current students, so I think it’s important that we always support the students that are currently in school — encouraging them to go forth, do great things in the state, hopefully retain them here, and they’ll do wonderful things to keep our state moving forward,” said Kristen McAlpine, a member of the UMaine Alumni Association Board of Directors. Maureen Berry was this year’s winner, and she entered the raffle on behalf of student Raeann Berry, the report states.
