SUMMARY:UMFK BOV Business Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:The University of Maine at Fort Kent Board of Visitors is encouraging the public to attend a Business Breakfast that will take place on Friday\, November 15 at 7:30 a.m. in the Nadeau Hall conference room on the UMFK campus.   \n \nThe topic of discussion for the breakfast will be “Untapped Resource – Hiring International Students.”  \n \nThe presenters will include Marcus Jaynes\, Immigration Attorney for the University of Maine System; Leslie Kelly\, UMFK Student and Exchange Visitor Program Principal Designated School Official; Justin Dubois\, former UMFK Board of Visitor President; and Taurian Coopsamy\, a recent UMFK international student graduate.   \n \nUMFK has the highest percentage of international students per student body population than any other UMS campus.
