Open House

When you attend a UMaine Open House you get to explore what life as a Black Bear is like. It’s one of the best ways to see campus, meet faculty, tour academic & student life programs, and learn about services on-campus that support you and your success. You’ll also be able to grab lunch in one of our dining halls!
