UMFK’s new Psychology Program Chair is Lisa Lavoie! In addition to teaching, Lisa is a licensed clinical professional counselor, a certified alcohol and drug counselor, and a certified rehabilitation counselor — a perfect example of the active professionals UMFK students get to work with. In her free time, Lisa is an avid reader; her favorite genres are murder mysteries and police procedurals. A lifelong learner who enjoys spending time with her family, she can frequently be found outside enjoying the beauty of Maine.
