Fall 2024 Open House - November 1, 2024. RSVP by Thursday, October 25

Personalized. Adventurous. Affordable.

Being adventurous doesn’t always mean hiking the North Maine Woods (of course, you can do that here). It’s also about empowering yourself with the right knowledge and skills to achieve your goals. At UMFK, you’ll do just that with the help of career-focused academics, real-world learning, and a caring and welcoming community — and all at one of the nation’s most affordable universities.

Today, the UMFK English faculty Poetry Train made its first stop at Blake Library where faculty members read poetry selections of their own and Dr. Joseph Becker expressively read the poem, "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe. Some attendees shared some of their favorite poems as well.

Pictured in the photo (left to right): Jessica Boynton, adjunct English faculty member; Geraldine Becker, Professor of English and Creative Writing; and Dr. Joseph Becker, Professor of English, and Program Coordinator/Lead Faculty.

On Saturday, October 19th at 11:00 a.m., the events continue at Fort Kent Public Library. Once again, English faculty will read a selection of “spooky” works that will be appropriate for children. Anyone may attend. Costumes are not required, but Professor Cannon Becker says that she will probably be dressed as one of her favorite characters from the Harry Potter series, Professor Minerva McGonagall. She advises, “Wear your favorite house colors, if you wish. Wands ready!”

Then, on Sunday, October 20th, they will make a final stop on the train of events at First Mile Brewing Company at 1:00 p.m.

“Come see what is brewing and bubbling up at First Mile,” Professor Cannon Becker said, “Anyone may join us for continuing the conversation about these events, and more, as we share adventures in literature and language. This is where our Writers of the First Mile community writing group first got started. Let us know if you’d like to participate in that group, too!”
