We were happy to host prospective students from across Maine to our annual Bengal Bound Day. This day is dedicated to students who have been admitted to UMFK, while also welcoming some who are still in the decision-making process, to have the opportunity to experience hands-on learning in UMFK's labs and classrooms. Faculty members across degree programs spoke to students one-on-one to answer any questions they had and students had the opportunity to interact with current students, complete the application process, and register for classes. Some of the highlights noted by the attendees included experiencing a Criminal Justice/Conservation Law Enforcement crime scene investigation, a Psychology escape room, the Nursing Simulation Center and virtual reality Immersion Suite, the Natural Sciences greenhouse and labs, and an engaging lecture in Business.
