Feb. 6 is annual University of Maine Day in the Hall of Flags

Editor’s note: Due to inclement weather, this event has been canceled for Feb. 6. 

University of Maine faculty, staff and students will be in the Hall of Flags in the State House 8–11 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 6 to showcase how Maine’s flagship university makes a difference in all 16 counties. 

University of Maine Cooperative Extension staff will be available to discuss how their work statewide impacts Maine communities — in homes and businesses, and on farms. 

Students, faculty and staff from the College of Natural Sciences, Forestry, and Agriculture’s health and natural science programs will be there to discuss how research and development creates an ideal environment for developing the skills needed to meet Maine’s workforce demands. 

Maine youth who participate in UMaine Extension 4-H will serve as legislative pages that day.
