M-Project


The University of Maine takes special interest in its freshmen and transfer students. It’s obviously important to put a special focus on them because they are the ones that need to be convinced that UMaine is the right university for them. The M-Project is a resource provided by Student Affairs to assist new students in their first year of college. It’s simply a mentor program where each student is assigned a returning University of Maine student who has already experienced their college transitioning period. This mentor is their guide throughout the year. They provide wisdom and moral support to answer any questions that the new students may have. There are countless groups, clubs, and events to get involved in on campus and these mentors can help keep the newbies well-informed. A brief bio of the program can be found on their website, as well as, a link to sign up to be a mentor.
