High-tech patients help teach nurses
|
| It's projected that by 2025, there will be significant nursing shortages all across Maine. In the School of Nursing Simulation Lab, high-tech mannequins create real-life learning experiences for students. The important skills learned in this University of Southern Maine (USM) lab ultimately produce the qualified nurses that will help meet Maine's looming workforce challenges.

Giving veterans the boost they deserve
|
| The Veterans Upward Bound Program helps support the educational aspirations of low-income, first-generation veterans across the state of Maine so they can gain the benefits that accompany higher education. The program was recently awarded nearly $300K from the U.S. Department of Education with the support of Senators Collins and King and Representative Pingree.

Full of promise for students and Maine
|
| The 2018 inaugural class of Promise Scholars at USM is comprised of 19 talented, predominantly first-generation students with leadership potential, a willingness to give back to their communities, and demonstrable financial need.
