There will be FREE wings in the cafeteria if you have your Wings shirt on! The dates are Feb. 13, March 13, April 10 (University Day), and May 8.
Reminder to UMPI Alums
Don’t forget to show your UMPI pride and celebrate your major accomplishments since graduation! Wear your snowy owl lapel pin you received when you graduated and answer the question, “Where have your wings taken you?” To answer that question, take a photo that shows you wearing the pin—either in your professional role or enjoying adventures all around the world—and then post the photo and your story to http://yourwings.umpi.edu. We hope to have everyone post a picture!
