As a professor of applied entomology and a Japanese language instructor, Andrei Alyokhin and Sayoko Mori have a unique perspective on the University of Maine. When it was time for their kids to choose a college, UMaine stood out for its value and quality.
That choice had a positive impact on Philip and Natasha, who are already turning their education into professional success.
Philip, majoring in Management and Marketing and recognized as a UMaine Top Scholar, has built an impressive resume and secured a position with a major software company in Boston after graduating in 2026.
Natasha, majoring in Accounting and Management, leads as VP of the Women in Business Organization, is a Beta Gamma Sigma honoree, and has earned an exclusive internship with BerryDunn.
For Andrei and Sayoko, UMaine offers both incredible opportunities and an unbeatable location.
“UMaine provides great opportunities for students who are willing to take them. It is also located within the reach of almost everything, including the sea coast, a metropolitan area, mountains, woods, streams, and lakes.”
