Open meetings with the USM presidential candidates will be held over the next two weeks. Students, faculty, and staff are all invited to meet the candidates, to ask questions and judge for themselves what each is all about. It is an opportunity too for the presidential hopefuls to meet the USM community and acquaint themselves with its constituents.
There will be meetings on each of the campuses: in Portland, Gorham, and Lewiston-Auburn campuses, so every campus has the chance to meet and have a say in who becomes the next President of USM. Following each of the ‘open session’ meetings, response forms will be available, and all attendees are welcome to provide input to the selection committee. For the names of the candidates and their scheduled visits see below.
You’re invited . . .
