R.P. Eddy '90 Helps Global Scholars

Students in USM's Global Scholars program had a chance to meet with senior U.S diplomat R.P. Eddy '90, who visited campus in January and participated in the sixth annual crisis simulation. Student groups represented a variety of non-governmental organizations and presented proposals to Eddy, who role-played as U.S. President Donald Trump, in an attempt to influence the president and subsequent public policy. Learn more about his visit here.
Alumni Faculty Spotlight

 
Name: Susan (Bell) Zarwell
Class: 1987
Faculty Position: Director of College Guidance
Years at USM: 22
What Brought You Back to USM: After doing a long-term substitution, I was offered a position the following year. It became apparent that much of what I took for granted as a student here was a boon to my professional life: incredible collegiality, parent buy in and presence, phenomenal facilities, and great support from administration. I had worked in schools that had some of these attributes but not the whole package found at USM. The really cute history teacher was an added bonus! All of these things make what felt like a job elsewhere a true joy. This really is an exceptional community!
 
Recent Alumni Panel on College Life
 

USM seniors were once again treated to a special Q&A session with recent alumni from the class of 2018 who visited during their winter breaks. The group of graduates spent an hour with seniors to answer questions about college life, including living on their own or with roommates, class schedules, and balancing social life with academic responsibilities, among others.

"USM truly helped me become the best version of myself. The main thing that I’ll absolutely miss the most is the faculty. They challenged me, encouraged me, and supported me to become a better learner, leader, and citizen."
