We are so proud of UMFK’s own Sue Tardie on being selected as Fort Kent’s Citizen of the Year. She does so much for our university, but it is all of the countless hours she spends supporting the community of Fort Kent through volunteer involvement in non-profit organizations and events that makes her so deserving of this recognition. Congratulations Sue!

Thank you to the Greater Fort Kent Area Chamber of Commerce for recognizing UMFK with the Community Partner Award at last night’s Chamber Dinner. The university has always prided itself on the wonderful town and gown relationship with the Fort Kent area and are so grateful for the continued partnership in support of our campus with events and involvement of numerous stakeholders. In building the future workforce of northern Maine and beyond, it truly takes a village. Thank you for supporting our students, faculty, events and initiatives.
