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!
