U-Maine Plans to Welcome Students Back to Campus in the Fall
University of Maine officials announced this week that they plan to welcome students back in the fall for in-person learning.
I remember my first day at the University of Maine s Orono campus. It was so exciting to be on my own, moving out of my parents house, and meeting new people.

University of Maine administrators held a media conference on Wednesday, during which they announced that the plan is for classroom learning next semester. Not only that, but students will be welcomed back to their dorm rooms to move furniture into creative configurations and annoy their neighbors with loud music.
