School Notes:

• The University of Maine at Fort Kent seeks to transform students' lives through high-quality academic programs. Our dedicated faculty make teaching their top priority, and strive to inspire students with a life-long sense of excitement about learning. Small class size; a relaxed, friendly campus; and the beauty of the St. John Valley create a powerful setting for personal enrichment. Come with high expectations, and help us make them happen!
• Academic programs are structured in four divisions, Nursing, Education (elementary and secondary), Arts and Humanities and Natural and Behavioral Sciences - this includes environmental studies, forestry and business management. Our two newest programs are E-Commerce and Rural Public Safety Administration. All of our programs focus on living and working in rural communities close to our natural environment.

The people of the Valley are largely descended from the French-Acadians and French-Canadians and French is commonly spoken on both sides of the border.
