Fall 2026 Open House - November 6

Personalized. Adventurous. Affordable.

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.

Last Friday, as part of the 2026 UMFK Homecoming Weekend, we unveiled the UMFK 150th Anniversary Legacy Wall. The wall depicts thirty milestones from our nearly 150-year story, now on permanent display at the Blake Library. Thank you to the family of Richard I. Morin for the lead gift that made it happen, and to everyone who turned out to celebrate and dedicate a milestone. This wall belongs to all of us.

Couldn't make it but still want to dedicate a milestone? Please visit us online or contact Michael Elliot in the UMFK Advancement Office.
