Winner of the 2021 It’s Personal Campaign:

Fogler Library

We are pleased to announce that Fogler Library has won the It’s Personal competition! In recognition, they will be receiving the It’s Personal trophy – the largest toothbrush ever to be 3D printed at UMaine.

We collected over 3600 products plus dozens of handmade masks for donation to the Black Bear Exchange. Congratulations to all of our teams’, whose hard work and generosity made that achievement possible. And we want to give a shout out to some stand out participants: the Honors College donated hundreds of items; the Financial Aid team brought in so many masks; the Senior Skulls team had the strongest first round of any team; while the Chemistry Department was relentless in bringing in donations each week and the Honors Student Advisory Board rallied strong and brought in almost 500 items. From Beta Theta Pi to Student Life, each team contributed in major ways to the success of this campaign, and we would like to thank every one of you for your support and your dedication to our campus community.

The Honors College Student Ambassadors look forward to hosting the It’s Personal campaign  next fall, so stay tuned and make sure your team is training hard in the offseason.

Fantastic work Black Bears. 

Sincerely,
