🌍 From Maine to Barcelona! 🇪🇸

For UMaine senior Anna Hussey, studying abroad was more than an opportunity to travel. It was a life-changing experience that helped her build confidence, explore her passion for fashion, and discover new possibilities for her future.

With support from the Annie P. Norton Memorial Scholarship, Anna spent three months studying in Barcelona, Spain, gaining experiences and perspectives that continue to shape her personal and professional journey.

Anne was a generous and thoughtful UMaine alumna and friend. In addition to her philanthropy already mentioned, she was instrumental in fundraising for an endowment to support the Buchanan Alumni House and served as a fundraising leader on many committees.

It is with great sorrow that we share the recent passing of Anne Collins, who, together with her late husband Richard Collins, is the namesake of our building.

Anne and Richard's generosity made it possible for the Collins Center to create countless memories over the years, and their legacy will continue to shape this space for generations to come.

Anne was a truly special person and will be deeply missed. In the coming season, we hope to honor the Collins family's memory and share more stories of the generosity, warmth, and lasting impact they brought to our community.

Today marks the 92nd anniversary of the University of Maine Foundation. With their initial $1,000 gift and foresight in 1934, our founders have made a tremendous difference for thousands of Black Bears. That investment, along with all the other gifts to our endowment over the years, has brought our total endowment to a record high of over $500 million! Thank you for the role you have played in this success.
