USM’s three campuses are all different, yet they share

plenty of Husky spirit to go around!
Gorham is where today’s USM got its start. You’ll find historic
brick buildings like Corthell Hall, dating back to 1878, mixed
in with modern residence halls and classroom buildings,
laboratories, studio spaces, the student center, field house and
athletic fields, spread out on this beautiful, tree-lined campus.
You’ll take classes here and on the Portland campus—an easy
commute via the free USM shuttle bus.
Lewiston campus
Portland is Maine’s largest city, a dynamic creative
community overlooking the islands of Casco Bay. You may
commute regularly to Portland for classes or fieldwork,
depending on your course of study. Our free shuttle makes
it easy. Or you may gravitate there to take advantage of
Portland’s shopping, restaurants, and entertainment––you
won’t want to miss First Friday Art Walks.
Lewiston-Auburn, “twin cities” perched on either side
of the Androscoggin River, form a community known for
its rich history and lively arts scene. The Lewiston-Auburn
College campus fosters a supportive, close-knit college
experience enhanced by cutting-edge classroom
technology and full access to all the resources of USM.

example. You’ll tackle big ideas and hatch innovative solutions as you get to
know professors who are passionate about teaching. A few of our students’

At USM, we believe experience makes the best teachers. That’s why so
many of our professors come into the classroom armed with years of professional
field experience. Thanks to their ongoing research, academic scholarship, and
engagement in the wider community—both here and abroad—your professors
will be outstanding teachers as well as supportive mentors.
Any summer, you might find Professor Jo Williams analyzing event
management at Wimbledon or networking with ESPN executives.
Professor Williams, chair of the USM Sport Management program,
brings decades of firsthand experience in the sport industry to her
classroom. Whether as tournament director for the McCall’s LPGA
Classic or a consultant for the U.S. Field Hockey Association, she
continues to find new ways to grow and shape the sport industry.
The London Olympics provided firsthand learning (and fun) for USM students. Professors Jo Williams and
Heidi Parker joined 20 undergraduate and graduate students in the USM School of Business for the
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of attending London’s Olympic Games as part of the study abroad
course “London 2012: Management, Marketing, and the Cultural Olympics.”

As a student at USM, you’ll have many opportunities to work in
the field, connecting what you learn in the classroom with real-world
challenges. In fact, internships are often central components of USM
programs. Leadership and Organizational Studies students work
within nonprofit organizations to put theory into practice; Nursing
students may participate in delivering community health
care services on Maine islands; others find
internships in businesses throughout the region,
from biotech firms to manufacturers to financial
services companies—experiences that often
translate into future careers.
Psychology major Tim Folley plans someday to start a teaching
and rehabilitation facility built around a sustainable organic farm.
His internship at the therapeutic riding center, Riding To The Top,
has been “really huge in helping me realize my dreams.”
