UMaine faculty and staff discuss in-migration to Maine with Press Herald
Several employees from the University of Maine spoke with the Portland Press Herald about increased in-migration to Maine in recent years. Tim Waring, associate professor of social-ecological systems modeling, discussed the opportunities and challenges surrounding the influx of people moving to Maine from elsewhere, while Diane Rowland, dean of the College of Earth, Life and Health Sciences; Daisy Singh, dean of libraries; and Scott Marzilli, associate provost of student success and innovation, shared their personal stories about relocating here. “The quality of life here is remarkable,” Marzilli said. “Even something as simple as letting our younger kids walk down to the store and not worrying about them.”
