Structurally sound. Strategically designed.
As UMF moves forward to build a solid structural framework with new strategic initiatives, our mission remains the same—providing excellent and affordable public liberal arts and teacher education for students from our remarkable region, across the state of Maine — and beyond. In these complex times, a clear focus guides us in our daily work of connecting with and inspiring those hungry to learn.
Our current challenges demand bold action and an ambitious timeline. The University we’re collectively reimagining is already taking shape. This Strategic Plan looks to specific milestones and objective measures for each priority, building a foundation for what will follow these first three years.
