PLEASE NOTE: Currently UMaine’s health and safety protocol for on-campus visits requires individuals to wear a face covering only when indoors except when eating or drinking. We do not know if that same protocol will remain in place when Reunion is held on September 17th. The current protocol for Buchanan Alumni House, which is privately owned by the Alumni Association and Foundation and is not considered a UMaine facility, does not require face covering for individuals who are fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Those who are not fully vaccinated are expected to wear a face covering when inside Buchanan Alumni House, both as health and safety measures and out of respect for others.
Welcome to the Class of 1960. We’d love to hear from you. Please take a few moments and share your news with classmates.
For questions or to get involved in class activities, please contact Ashley Twombly ’10, ’12G at (207) 581-1144.
