AUGUSTA — The University of Maine at Augusta will provide virtual and in-person opportunities to honor and thank veterans for their service at its Augusta and Bangor campuses beginning Monday, Nov. 9.
UMA traditionally holds a flag folding ceremony on each campus as part of its veterans week events. This year the ceremony will be pre-recorded and available for viewing on the UMA website beginning on Nov. 6, at www.uma.edu/admission/veterans. [1] Two UMA veteran students will take part in the flag folding ceremony, Leo Porter, a cybersecurity major from Readfield, and Scott Bailey, a cybersecurity major from West Gardiner.
POW/MIA tables will be set up outside the Moose tracks Café, Randall Student Center, Augusta campus, and in the Huskins Lounge, Eastport Hall, Bangor campus.
Veterans may wear or bring in military memorabilia showing their service (hats, old uniforms, special medals/ribbons).
From 10-11 a.m., Tuesday, Nov. 10, there will be Bystander Empowerment Training for Veterans, Military, & Families (Zoom), registration link: forms.gle/1AxBxfCbWxTTxDj26. Bystander Empowerment is a program supported by the U.S. Department of Justice. Being an empowered bystander means we know ourselves well enough to be able to intervene safely and effectively. The intent of the program is to take a deeper look at what we can do to be everyday heroes at home and away. For more information, contact Leslie Devine at leslie.devine@maine.edu or call 207-262-7955.
On Wednesday, Nov. 11, Veterans Day, UMA campuses and centers are closed.
The University of Maine at Augusta Annual Fund has two opportunities available to support military and veteran students, the Military & Veterans Affairs Gift Fund and theMilitary & Veterans Student Book Fund. For more information, visit UMA annual fund.
