At the recent Division of Lifelong Learning Honors Ceremony, Carol Toner (center) presented Maine Studies Research and Creativity Awards to Ian Larson (left), a Senior in New Media, and Stephanie Leonard (right), a graduate student in the Maine Studies Master of Arts in Liberal Studies program.

The Maine Studies program is pleased to offer two Student Research and Creativity Awards for excellence in Maine-related research projects. Thanks to the generosity of the University of Maine Foundation, two awards are available - one for undergraduate work and one for graduate work. In order to highlight exemplary student work, each award includes a $250 prize. These awards are designed to encourage and promote student research and creative projects related to the study of Maine. All University of Maine research papers or projects that are Maine-related and were written within the last year will be eligible. All University of Maine students, both part-time and full-time, are eligible to apply for the awards. To be considered for these awards, students should submit their paper or project to the Maine Studies Awards Committee, 5 Chadbourne Hall, no later than April 1. The award winners will be honored at the Division of Lifelong Learning Honors Ceremony in late April. For more information, call the Maine Studies office at 581-3147.
