Meet UMFK's newest faculty member, assistant professor of forestry Caroline Kanaskie! She will be teaching two classes in her first semester: Dendrology — the study of trees — and Forest Protection, which focuses on natural and man-made threats to forests, and how we can protect those natural resources through practices like sustainable logging and fighting invasive species. Caroline is a gifted science communicator, and hopes to help her students get to know the land that surrounds them, whether here in northern Maine or in their homes around the world. Join us in giving her a warm Maine welcome!

PS - Give Caroline a follow on Instagram @ck_sci!

This morning, the UMFK community gathered for a 9/11 memorial hike, honoring those lost on this day 24 years ago, and the first responders who charged into danger to save lives. UMFK's criminal justice department put this event together, and they were joined by representatives from local fire departments, police, paramedics, and border patrol. #NeverForget
