The Admissions Office at the University of Maine at Fort Kent will host Bengal Bound Day on Friday, March 28, 2025. This is a day for accepted students and interested students who have not yet applied to experience #LIFE at UMFK.
The day will begin at 8:15 a.m., starting with breakfast and a Sign-Up Fair where prospective students and their families will meet UMFK students, faculty, and staff from various offices who will be available to answer questions on topics such as residential life, career planning, and financial aid. Students will also have an opportunity to browse student organizations and meet some of the coaches.
The highlight of the event will feature hands-on learning experiences for students by joining faculty in their classrooms and lab spaces to get a feel for the programs they are interested in.
“Bengal Bound Day is a great opportunity for students to experience UMFK’s campus community, connect with faculty and current students, and get a real feel for what it’s like to be a Bengal,” said Jeremy Bouford, UMFK director of admissions. “We want students to walk away feeling confident and excited about their future here.”
For lunch, attendees will enjoy the Tastes of UMFK in Nowland Hall. This will be followed by a ‘Get it Done!’ session where attendees can receive same-day admissions decisions, confirm their attendance, and have their deposit waived. At that time, they can also register for classes or schedule a future time to do so. Students should come prepared with their supporting documentation.
The day will wrap up with a Q&A where attendees will also have a chance to win various prizes, including an opportunity to win a free 3-credit course (non-transferrable, not to exceed tuition and fees). Bengal Bound will end at 1:30 p.m.
