The CLAS Advising Center was established out of a desire to increase student access, connection, satisfaction, and retention in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, providing the Center with a mission to address these goals by developing programs and resources for students who are considered “at-risk” (undecided, first-generation, and those in transition between majors and other institutions) and providing support and programming for all CLAS students and faculty advisors. The goal is to create a strong, student-centered advising program focused on student access, connection, satisfaction, and retention, and to enhance the quality of the undergraduate educational experience and student services. John Mascetta is the Advising Center’s fearless leader, a man of boundless energy and vision. As the Advising Center Coordinator, John oversees academic advising for all undeclared CLAS students, newly accepted transfer students and students on academic probation. He supports the College’s faculty advisors in providing services for students with declared majors and collaborates with Associate Dean Timothy Cole regarding retention initiatives. His background is in higher education and student affairs with a focus in academic advising for the past 7 years. He welcomes any CLAS student to visit the Advising Center for questions ranging in general education requirements, discovering or changing a major and becoming connected on campus. Robert Hodges is a graduate assistant/academic advisor who works primarily with transfer students. His own college education began at Mt. San Jacinto College in Menifee, CA. He then transferred to Camden County College in NJ, before finally finishing his degree at Rutgers University-Camden in NJ where he received his BA in History. Moving to Baton Rouge, LA, he started his coursework for his MA in History at Louisiana State University, finishing it back at Rutgers University-Camden. He is now currently working on his Doctorate in American History here at the University of Maine. During his time here, he served first as a graduate teaching assistant and then held two different teaching fellowships. His enthusiasm for helping students led him to the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences Advising Center, where he’s been working since its inception in 2012. His own experience as a transfer student has proven invaluable in helping him work with new transfer students here at UMaine. Amy Smith is a graduate assistant/academic advisor who works primarily with students on probation. She is a life long resident of Lincolnville, Maine, currently living there with her husband of 25 years. Her college education began close to home in Belfast, Maine, at the University of Maine’s satellite campus, The Hutchinson Center. She has stayed at the University of Maine throughout her college career, receiving her BA in History in 2010, her MA in History in 2013, and is currently working on her Doctorate in American History. She values the broad perspective that comes with an education in history and enjoys working with students to help them reach their full potential in whatever path they choose. Previously, Amy worked with youth at risk during her career as an Employment Specialist at Goodwill Workforce Solutions. Transferring her employment experience to the academic realm, she has worked in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences Advising Center since its inception in 2012. Her academic advising philosophy is based on her own personal experience as a student at UMaine, centering around her personal commitment to value each individual student and to foster a safe and guided environment in which students participate in their own decision-making process.
FOOD PANTRY: The food pantry is open to students and their immediate families as well as staff and faculty. There is no income requirement and no application process. Just present a valid MaineCard or ID from any other college or university to get a BBE Card approved for the food pantry. Our focus is supporting those who are not able to obtain assistance from other community sources. CLOTHING EXCHANGE: The Clothing Exchange is open to anyone and everyone!!!! People are encouraged to bring gently worn items to exchange/swap or small donations can be made instead. The money then goes to buy food for the food pantry. Our goal with this sustainable project is to reduce stigma surrounding food pantries and thrift stores while providing support to the community. If you have clothing to donate, but can’t find anything you need right now, you can “bank” your points and use them later. Know someone that has a need? Give your points to them!

The Canadian-American Center at the University of Maine is one of the leading institutes for the study of Canada in the United States. Designated as a National Resource Center on Canada by the United States Department of Education in 1979, the Center coordinates an extensive program of undergraduate and graduate Canadian Studies education; helps support a major research library on Canada; promotes cross-border research in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and professions; and directs the outreach programs to state, regional, and national audiences. The Canadian-American Center is a founding member of the Northeast National Resource Center on Canada. ESTABLISHING the Canadian-American Center reflects both local and national needs. At the local level, ties between Maine and Canada are long-standing and varied. Although part of New England, the state of Maine is virtually surrounded by the Canadian provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick. And, almost half of the state’s population has ancestral roots in Canada. Economic connections, from energy to tourism, are close, and environmental issues frequently demand international cooperation. MORE BROADLY, Americans need to know much more about Canada. Growing integration of the U.S. and Canadian economies aided by the North American Free Trade Agreement; common environmental concerns, particularly over-harvesting of natural resources and pollution of common waterways and airspace; and long-standing social and cultural ties are significant reasons for studying the Canadian-American relationship. In addition, many Canadian developments have considerable relevance for the United States, including the continuing debate in Canada about the place of minority languages and cultures in confederation; the role of the Canadian government in social and welfare issues; the emphasis that Canada has placed on international organizations and multilateral cooperation; and the valiant efforts made by Canadians to develop a distinctive cultural tradition in the face of homogenizing tendencies of mass culture. For Americans, Canada acts as a mirror, allowing us to better understand ourselves.

There currently are 37 MFA students and 3 PhD students (working on individualized doctorates in combination with the Intermedia and the New Media Department) in the program.
