The program is intended to give students transferring from one of the state’s seven community colleges to the University of Maine a clear path to earning a bachelor’s degree.
The total solar eclipse that passed through western and northern Maine on Monday was something for the ages: a celestial event that may only come once or twice in someone’s life.
It awed people from Maine.
Matthew Polstein estimated Monday that the solar eclipse, which drew a rush of visitors to the Katahdin region and other communities along the path of totality, brought more than $150,000 to his business.
That’s more than double the roughly $60,000 the New England Outdoor Center in Millinocket made last April and a needed boost after a lackluster snowmobile season with little snow, said Polstein, the center’s founder and chief executive officer.
