The University of Maine is committed to providing collaborative leadership as the Flagship campus of the University of Maine System.

This forum focused on the University of Maine – University of Maine at Machias “primary partnership.” This past summer, faculty and administrators from both campuses worked together to explore ways in which we might form curricular partnerships among related disciplines at the two institutions. Complementary work on administrative collaboration was also done. This Forum provided an opportunity to update the UMaine community and gather feedback.
