I want to take a moment to thank the members of the University of Maine community on campus and statewide for your support of Question 4, the University Workforce Bond.

At UMaine and at the University of Maine at Machias, the investment will have a particular impact on students and faculty, and ultimately will make a difference in successfully advancing our mission in Maine. This support will strengthen our opportunities to impact learner success, and our research, scholarship and innovation. It also will reinforce and expand our partnerships.

Passage of this bond is a critical investment in public higher education in the state, on all seven University of Maine System campuses.

Thank you again for your advocacy and commitment to the University of Maine, and all of your support.
