Accelerating to the right career
|
| Meet Jon White, 38, who spent 16 years in an IT career, then enrolled in the School of Nursing at the University of Southern Maine (USM). After completing the accelerated program — which takes only 15 months with a prior bachelor's degree and includes clinical work in area hospitals — Jon is now making the difference he wants to make in the ICU at Maine Medical Center.

Collaborative creativity enhances learning
|
| A United States Department of Education grant worth nearly $2.5 million has been awarded to Side x Side, a Portland-based nonprofit that brings our student artists and educators together with public schools in Portland and now, Lewiston. The program positions art at the core of all learning and weaves it into a variety of academic subjects to enhance learning and creativity for children.
