AUGUSTA — U.S. Senator Angus King, I-Maine, will be the guest speaker in an Idea Exchange Webinar presented by UMA Senior College, from 3 to 4 p.m., Friday, Feb. 26.
The webinar will address the question :Should We Make Education Beyond High School Affordable to All?” The topic grew out of the concern that Maine needs an educated workforce, which would be a boon to the economy. Something needs to be done to make college – either at community college or state iniversity – accessible to anyone in Maine who wants to acquire essential knowledge and technical skills to be a part of that workforce.
Marilyn Canavan will be the moderator of the program. Canavan was a member of the Maine House of Representatives, representing the Waterville area from 2000 to 2008. As a legislator she helped to write Maine’s Clean Elections Act. For several years she was executive director of the Maine Commission on Government Ethics and Election Practices.
Attendees can send in their questions and comments via email to pamela.stpeter@maine.edu. The Zoom webinar is free and open to the public. The Idea Exchange is designed to bring information on significant social issues, particularly in these days of pandemic isolation.
