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!

Diversity Dialogue, Tuesday, March 26, 12:30 p.m. in the Campus Center. During this Diversity Dialogue presentation, Shay Stewart-Bouley, the Executive Director of Community Change, Inc., and the author of the blog Black Girl in Maine, will lead an interactive session designed to look critically at racism in our communities and our nation by examining the roots of white supremacy and how the past impacts our present. This event is open to the public.
DLS speaker Stephen Ritz will give his presentation The Power of a Plant: A Teacher’s Odyssey to Grow Healthy Minds and Schools, Tuesday, April 9, 7 p.m., Campus Center, in conjunction with University Day. Ritz, an urban farmer, award-winning educator, and the founder of the Green Bronx machine, will discuss how he and his students farmed their way from the poorest congressional district in the country all the way to the White House and beyond. This event is free and open to the public.
University Day, Wednesday, April 10, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. with the theme: In Their Shoes, with talk presentations starting at 9:15 a.m. in Folsom/Pullen/Wieden. Each April, the University sets aside a day to showcase the students and their academic achievements. This is a campus-wide event organized as a conference with student presentations offered through the day. One of the event’s objectives is to provide students with the opportunity to experience a conference environment. A second equally important objective is to model a lifelong learning habit by highlighting the importance of participating in out-of-classroom educational venues.
