Welcome from the UMaine Alumni Association
President
Dear fellow Black Bears and Friends of the
University of Maine:
On behalf of the staff and volunteer alumni
Board of Directors of the
University of Maine Alumni Association (UMAA), welcome to our Web site!
For more than 130 years the UMAA has
existed to serve our ever growing alumni and the University we all hold
dear, the University of Maine. Just as the University itself has evolved and
grown into a world-class research and teaching institution, the role and
purpose of the UMAA has changed to fit the times. Today, as UMaine
strengthens its commitment to undergraduate education in an era of limited
resources, the role of the Alumni Association is more important than ever
before.
As President of the UMAA I have made it my
goal to connect all of UMaine’s 95,000 living alumni, whether it be through
this website, MAINE Alumni Magazine, researching an on-line community
or hosting Black Bear gatherings in Bangor, Portland, Boston, and beyond.
The UMAA, with its commitment to excellence and tradition of innovation, is
pleased to be taking the lead in keeping Black Bears worldwide connected –
strengthening the bond we all share – one alumni at a time.
Of course, like any business, the work we
do takes resources, and the Alumni Association secures funding from many
areas, including our Membership program. If you are already a dues-paying
member, thank you! We value your support. If you are not currently a member,
please take a moment to visit our
membership page and
sign up via our secure on-line form using a credit or debit card. It is
simple and convenient.
Enjoy browsing mainealumni.com and, while
here, I hope you learn a bit more about your independent Alumni Association.
Together, sharing our pride and knowledge, ideas and talents, we can help
build a powerful network that is both vital and relevant. I hope to hear
from you soon, and be sure to drop by Buchanan Alumni House the next time
you’re on campus and say hello.
Yours for the University of Maine,
Todd Saucier '93, '97G
President/Executive Director
The University of Maine Alumni Association
