MESSAGE FROM THE
PRESIDENT
2008 has been a truly transformational year
for the University of New England. In the past
two months we’ve had the distinct pleasure of
celebrating some UNE milestones, including:
The dedication of the George and Barbara
Bush Center
We were honored to have the 41 st President
George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush on
campus October 3 rd to dedicate the building
named in their honor. In just a little over a year
we have gone from breaking ground to creating
a space that has transformed our campus. With
its stunning views, Windward Café and meeting
rooms, the Bush Center will quickly become a
central gathering space for students, faculty
and staff.
The opening of the Pickus Center for Biomedical
Research and the Cécile Morgane Research
Laboratories
The dedication on October 12 th was a highlight
of the College of Osteopathic Medicine’s alumni
weekend. This impressive facility is a testament
to UNE’s commitment to becoming a research
leader in our region. It is also the home base for
our new Vice President for Research and Dean
of Graduate Studies, Tim Ford (profiled in this
issue of Nexus).
$4 million Maine Technology Institute
grant for the College of Pharmacy
UNE received the largest grant in our history
with this grant awarded by MTI, a state-funded
nonprofit that provides financial support for
innovative businesses. The grant will help fund
completion of the research labs at our College
of Pharmacy now under construction. We are
particularly proud that UNE was one of just 14
recipients from among 66 worthy applicants.
It is gratifying to receive such visible support
from our alumni, faculty, friends and the State
of Maine.
As we release our 2008 Annual Report
of Philanthropy in this issue, I’d like to
thank our alumni who continue to give so
generously, even in these challenging times.
You will read how gifts from alumnae such
as Alice Savage ’55, M.D., Ph.D. and
Dorothy Dixon ’41 reflect not just affection
and support for their alma mater, but
their conviction that UNE continues to
change lives.
I am pleased to report that recent research
conducted on behalf of the University bears
this out. Fully 90 percent of our alumni
say they would choose UNE all over again
(and recommend it to a friend), and 94
percent believe we are headed in the right
direction. Thank you for your strong vote of
confidence in the valuable work we all strive
to accomplish every day at the University.
DANIELLE N. RIPICH, Ph.D.

NOTABLE RESULTS
In previous issues of Nexus, we informed you
about UNE’s brand development initiative,
which will help us better communicate the
strengths and aspirations of the University.
Our research partner, Stamats, contacted many
of you over the past few months to participate
in some surveys. Your opinions and feedback
are important to the success of this initiative,
and we thank all of you who participated! Here
are a few highlights of the research results.
Alumni cite the quality of academics
as UNE’s greatest asset.
In addition, UNE faculty and staff received
high marks… described as committed,
progressive, friendly, helpful, dedicated,
and excellent teachers.
90% of alumni would still choose UNE if they
were to do it all over again, and 90% would
recommend UNE to a friend or relative.
94% of alums believe that UNE is moving
in the right direction.
Three-quarters of alumni are pleased with
the level of communication they receive from
UNE– but about 20 percent would like more.
Alumni are split between how they like to
receive their info. More than half still prefer
to receive it via postal mail, though more recent
graduates prefer e-mail.
The website is another important way that
alums stay connected with the University.
Alumni’s overall regard for UNE is excellent,
at a 4.5 rating on a 5.0 scale.

PASSPORT
TO MAINE
By Donna Gaspar Jarvis
On a warm evening in late August, a group
of eighteen students and student leaders
gathered around a campfire on a stone patio
on the bank of Swan Pond in Lyman. As the
sun set on the water and mosquitoes buzzed,
the group joked and laughed like old friends.
No one would guess by their teasing and
familiar banter that the students had only
known each other for a few short days and that
the group came from countries as diverse as
Mongolia, Mauritania and Malaysia.
4 U N I V E R S I T Y O F N E W E N G L A N D | www.une.edu
The group was part of a new UNE International Student Orientation that was held this past
August for incoming undergraduate students. Students who participated in the two-day
orientation as either new international students or as current UNE students who served as
International Student Orientation Leaders, came from all parts of the world — Vietnam, Hong
Kong, Ukraine, Mauritania, Tanzania, Japan, Canada, Ghana, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, the United
States, Korea, Mongolia, Taiwan, Venezuela, Malaysia, the Netherlands and Romania.
The group reflects the growing cultural diversity within our student population, whose
presence on campus will surely enrich our UNE community in the coming year.
The International Student Orientation was sponsored and organized through the Office of
Multicultural Affairs & Diversity Programs in collaboration with staff from Student Affairs,
Admissions and the Office of International Programs. The orientation covered issues such as
cultural acclimation, immigration, banking and extra support in learning about campus services.
It also included shopping for cell phones, laptops and even bedding and other items to help
students get settled into their new homes.

The International Student Orientation was
followed by a one day “Transitions” program
at Sweetser in Saco, where students bonded
with other newly arriving American students
and orientation leaders, through an experiential
learning outdoor ropes course. Lastly, the
international students joined the regular Session
IV Orientation with other newly arriving UNE
students.
For student Vy Nguyen from Vietnam, who
celebrated her 20 th birthday at the International
Student Orientation BBQ Welcome Dinner, held
at the home of UNE staff member Sandy Larned
in Lyman, the event was symbolic of her early
connection with other incoming international and
multicultural students.
“All the students sang happy birthday to me
and got me a card,” said Nguyen. “It was such a
surprise. It was so sweet. I’ll definitely remember it
for a long time.”
Andrea Sanchez Barrios, an exchange student
from Venezuela, agrees that the group bonded
quickly during the orientation.
“We’re like a family,” she said. “I think if we
didn’t have that orientation we might be lost. We
wouldn’t be as good friends as we are now.”
The students join other international
and multicultural students who have already
contributed so much to the UNE community
by sharing their diverse cultural and religious
backgrounds.
Last spring, the UNE International Club
hosted a Cultural Heritage and International
Fashion Show held during the Passport to
Culture International Festival, an annual event
sponsored by the offices of Multicultural Affairs
and International Programs. The performance,
which was standing room only, featured music,
drumming, lion and dragon dances, Asian
martial arts and several traditional cultural dances
performed by students. The club also produced an
international fashion show featuring traditional
clothing from many students’ home countries or
reflecting their ethnic origins.
Last year, students formed a new Muslim
Student Association, which became an official
UNE club and organization this year. The second
annual Eid ul-Fitr Celebration took place this
October as an opportunity for Muslim students
to celebrate the end of Ramadan, the Islamic
holy month of fasting, and share with the UNE
community the meaning and importance of
this Muslim holiday. Students representing
various countries including Somalia, Egypt,
Libya, Mauritania and Pakistan shared photos
and stories of how they celebrate Eid ul-Fitr in
their own cultures.
Other programs highlighting UNE’s
growing diversity include the Spotlight Series
and Culture Café. The Spotlight Series,
sponsored by the offices of Multicultural
Affairs and International Programs, offers an
internationally themed lunch and features
destinations around the world where UNE
community members have lived, studied,
worked or traveled. The Culture Café is an
interfaith/cross-cultural discussion group that
meets every Tuesday during lunch in the Café
Function Room on the University Campus
(UC). The Culture Café is open to all UNE
students and provides an opportunity for
students from different religious and cultural
backgrounds to share their points of view on
various topics and learn from each other.
Participation in sponsored events such as
these is just one way our growing international
and multicultural student population is
contributing to our campus community.
However, the new international students are
also emerging as student leaders in other ways,
as well.
Just one week after arriving on the
University Campus, Lucas Lomans, 18, from
the Netherlands connected with staff in the
media services department and volunteered to
help film events on campus. He has also taken
the initiative to start a new Motion Picture Film
Making Club. As a Fulbright student studying
at UNE for just one year, Lucas would like to
go to film school next year. But while at UNE,
he plans to share his passion for making movies
with other students.
“My hope is we’re going to make a movie
project with a lot of people – storywriters, actors,
directors, editors,” he said. “School spirit is
different here than at home. Here there are so
many clubs and ways to get involved.”
Vernon Chan, 19, from Hong Kong is also
contributing a certain pizzazz to the campus
climate. Vernon, who was raised on Englishspeaking
television and films, has a defined
Chinese accent, yet a startling command of
American and British slang. His outgoing
personality and friendliness have made him
well known on campus.
“What I want the most is to really feel at home
at UNE and be part of the UNE community.”
Like Lucas, Vernon has already embraced
many opportunities at UNE. He ran for
freshman class representative. He has joined the
International Club and Hall Council. He plans
to participate in the surfing club, although he
jokes he knows nothing about surfing. And he is
also enjoying his new mountain bike provided to
new freshmen and plans to join the cycling club.
“What I want the most is to really feel
at home at UNE and be part of the UNE
community,” he said.
Other new international students share
this sentiment, and also hope they will have an
impact on campus life while they are at UNE.
“I want to learn, but I also want to give
something back too,” says Sanchez Barrios. “I
hope I can give back in some way – through my
experience with botany and the environment. I
want to make a difference – if I can.”
As these students engage in clubs and
activities, take on student leadership positions,
and share their rich cultural backgrounds
through various sponsored events – it is safe
to say they will make a difference. In fact, they
already have.
Multicultural & Diversity Services at UNE
UNE’s Multicultural & Diversity Services recognizes, celebrates and encourages the vast cultural
experiences that each member of the community brings to the University of New England.
Through lecture series, cultural celebrations, performing arts programs and workshops,
Multicultural Services and its associated student organizations offer the UNE community and the
public occasion to discover new intellectual, social, cultural and political perspectives.

THE POWER OF
HOPE
CHP Students Experience Healthcare in Ghana
Sekondi, Ghana -- August 13 | The travel to Ghana was eventful... with a 48-hour wait in Boston, and a long delay in
NYC and then a five-hour bus ride to Sekondi, we are finally here! Day one in the clinic went well. We set up the clinic early Tuesday
morning complete with triage, four provider stations, a full service pharmacy, a waiting area for the patients, as well as a play area
for the children. We saw 51 patients with varying health problems... Following the clinic, most of the students were accompanied
by community health workers into Sekondi’s sister city, Takoradi to visit the market and shop for fabric. There is a local seamstress
who sewed beautiful garments for the students from African batiks and tie-dye textiles. It was very apparent that the people here
have rarely seen so many lighter-skinned people. On day two, we saw 74 patients of all ages presenting with a variety of health
conditions... The OT students did triage to help out the nursing staff. In addition we gave out all our reading glasses (at least 30 pair
over two days), worked on balance and mobility issues, vision screening, and various exercises for various problems. Unfortunately,
it seems like people with disabilities might be unable to get out into the community, so we really did not see many disabled people
in the clinic. We certainly noted how difficult it was to negotiate the terrain in town (trenches, 18 inch drop-offs, rocks, poor lighting
at night, etc). | Jennifer Morton, M.S., M.P.H., R.N., assistant professor, Nursing Department

The Ghana Health Mission in Sekondi, Ghana in
West Africa was home for two weeks in August for
Jennifer Morton, MS, MPH, RN, nursing, and
Regi Robnett, PhD, OTR/L, occupational therapy,
and 16 interdisciplinary students from the College
of Health Professions, including: nursing, social
work, occupational therapy, physician assistant and
health services management. They blogged just a
small portion of this eye-opening experience on
UNE’s website: http://uneghana.wordpress.com
The experience introduced students to health
care as it is delivered in a developing country
while they provided valuable healthcare services
and community health education to the people
of Sekondi. The UNE students and faculty joined
Hilarie Jones, MS, APRN from Ghana Health
Mission and they worked with clients of all ages
in a primary care clinic initially established by the
faculty of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst
and the people of Sekondi.
In September at a presentation held in a packed
CHP lecture hall, the stories and experiences
shared by the students and faculty held everyone’s
rapt attention. The faculty related how impressed
they were with the participating students, starting
with how the students gave up their extra luggage
space to bring supplies for the Ghanians. They
brought over-the-counter drugs, some 200
pairs of “Croc” style lightweight shoes, 30 pairs
of eyeglasses and even walkers, crutches and a
wheelchair.
Morton, Robnett and the students shared
details such as the life expectancy in Ghana being
56 years for men and 58 years for women, and one
in two children may not make it past the age of
five. The Ghanian people pay cash (fee for service)
for health care, and although a national insurance
plan was established in 2004, not many people
have been able to take advantage of it. Ghana is
a country about the size of Oregon, and 60% of
its residents are Christian, with most health care
being carried out in church-sponsored missions.
Although English is the official language of Ghana,
Fanti is more commonly spoken, and the UNE
group would have been lost without the assistance
of some 30 community health workers who helped
with translation. Many of the health workers are
college students and future church leaders, and
the UNE students and faculty developed strong
relationships with them.
The entire team got involved in various cases,
clearly illustrating the real-world interdisciplinary
interactions in health care. The students saw
health issues not likely to be found in clinics in
the U.S., such as malaria, typhoid, malnutrition,
but some of the issues were similar to those here,
just not caused by the same situations. One such
example was they would get a lot of complaints
of “waist pain” – which translated to low back
pain, also common in the U.S., but in Sekondi it
was mostly due to poor body mechanics during
tasks such as sweeping.
OT students Jamie North and Vanessa
Sherman related a story about one of their
patients, “David,” a 22 year old who severed
his spinal cord two years prior when he dived
into the ocean and hit his head on a rock. He
was unable to stay upright in a standing frame
for more than a short period without becoming
dizzy, and he also could not feed himself or
write. The OTs taught him techniques to avoid
the dizziness and they created a “universal cuff”
so he could put a spoon or pencil in it. “David
hadn’t been able to write his name for two solid
years, and when he got that cuff on, and wrote
his name, it was like his entire face lit up… it
was a really incredible moment,” said North.
With their faculty supervisors, the six nursing
students were “able to see and practice things
beyond what we’d see at home,” said Katie
Firth, a fourth-year BSN student. She said the
students did triage with the community service
workers interpreting, and they helped the
doctors/providers working as a team providing
care for injuries ranging from a diabetic ulcer
to a shrapnel wound. Another such case shared
by nursing student Kayla Baker, was that of a
person who had been hit over the head with
a metal bar. He would “pass out when he was
sleeping and shake when he fell down.” After
much discussion and initial diagnosis, it appeared
that he was passing out and having seizures, so
the group helped him obtain insurance so he
could go to the hospital. Yet another case, was
that of a woman sitting outside the clinic selling
bread and eggs in a broken-down and dirty
wheelchair, who had to be pushed around by
her children. She was brought in and the OT/
nursing interdisciplinary group ended up not
only treating her health ailments, but fixed her
wheelchair, duct taping the broken back, and
getting a mechanic to fix the broken brakes.
Jen Morton, nursing professor, told the
audience about some of the culture they
experienced — bartering for goods in the
market, eating “fufu” (a pasty starch they would
pour goat stew over), African drumming and
dancing, and the beautiful dresses that a local
seamstress made for the group. But more
than that, Morton spoke of how profound an
experience it was for the budding healthcare
providers, “This experience is probably the best
health assessment class these students could
ever have — they saw cases they’d never see
at home, and with the language barrier they
really had to listen to their patients.” Chelsea
Paterson, a third-year nursing student said of the
whole experience, “I thought I was going in as
a teacher, but after a few days, I realized I was
learning so much about the Ghanian people,
their culture and health issues we would never
see here, that as much as we gave to them, they
had no idea how much they gave to us.”
Sekondi, Ghana -- August 19, 2008
We wish we could take our experiences, our thoughts, our
memories from this trip and give it to people so they can
learn what we’ve learned and understand what it’s like to
be here. Even if we could, we don’t think people really know
what it’s like until they experience it for themselves. It’s been
an incredible experience, humbling to the core. People are
grateful when they walk away with multivitamins, all we
can offer them for their numb hands and feet. It’s amazing
that besides the language they speak and the color of their
skin, they are so similar to the patients we see in the states.
They come in with high blood pressure, aches and pains,
asthma, etc. We hope that with what little we can offer
them they leave with a hint of a smile. The kids never stop
smiling — they always remind us how far a smile can go to
make someone feel better. Even if we can’t offer them much,
we can offer them hope — hope that their aches will get
better, hope that the fever from malaria will break, hope
that the world contains people who care about them. And
as the quote goes, “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of
things, and no good thing ever dies.”
P.S. With the help of a community worker, Kate saved a baby
goat trapped in a fence — Reverend Andoh says she is
going to be remembered.

From Down East
to Down Under
UNE Students Study Abroad
By Danielle Vayenas
In 2007 and 2008, 36 University of New England students traveled to
19 countries, from Europe and the Middle East to Africa and Australia.
Over the years, UNE students and faculty have traveled abroad
through Fulbright grants, internships and other programs, but in
the past two years, the University has formalized its Study Abroad
program. Since 2006, when Trisha Mason was hired as Director of
International Programs, the number of students participating in study
abroad programs has greatly increased. Mason said, “It’s exciting to
grow the program and amazing to see how far we’ve come.”

Education should increase a person’s overall understanding
of the world and their surroundings, not just focus on one
subject… I guarantee studying abroad will change your life
in ways that you will not believe.”
– Guilherme Barbosa, ’08 Sociology
Students currently have three options for pursuing study
abroad programs for a semester or longer period. They can
either take part in a program sponsored by UNE or another
university or college, directly enroll in a foreign university, or
sign up through a third-party provider, such as the Council
on International Educational Exchange (CIEE), based in
Portland, Maine. Mason helps the students figure out the best
option for them and how to pursue it. Students can apply for
some small scholarships, but most students pay tuition as they
normally would for classes, plus travel, room and board.
UNE professors also take students abroad for short-term
study trips. Mason has worked mostly with the College of Arts
and Sciences to arrange programs such as History Professor
Ted DiPadova’s trip to France in the spring of 2007. However,
she has also worked with UNECOM, where she and Professor
Bruce Bates, D.O., went to Mexico this past January to
explore opportunities there, and with CHP, where Professors
Jen Morton, nursing, and Regi Robnett, OT, took a group
to Ghana in August. Mason works with a faculty advisory
committee to talk about departments’ interests, course
requirements, cross-disciplinary opportunities and more.
Mason did her own study abroad program in Germany
and Belgium when she was in high school, and Ecuador
and Chile in college, and she majored in world politics. The
program in high school set her on the path to her current
career, “Being from Maine, I was truly fortunate to get to
travel and see all those places. It changed me as a person,”
Mason said. She stated that she has seen UNE students come
back from their trips totally re-energized, becoming more
involved in campus activities, with more interest in their
academic studies, and bringing back their experiences to share
their newly-acquired perspectives with classmates.
“Education at UNE is further enhanced by students and
faculty’s participation in study abroad activities,” Mason
said. She referenced the articles in the student newspaper,
“Nor’easter News,” written by student Guilherme Barbosa,
where he said of his own study abroad experience, “Education
should increase a person’s overall understanding of the world
and their surroundings, not just focus on one subject…
I guarantee studying abroad will change your life in ways that
you will not believe.”

Tim Ford Creates
Research Excellence
In June, Tim Ford joined UNE as its first vice president for research
By Danielle Vayenas and dean of graduate studies. He is working with graduate programs
across all of the colleges and he has offices on both campuses,
with his Biddeford office located in the newly-built Pickus Center for
Biomedical Research. “As this is a brand-new position, it affords me
the exciting opportunity to help nurture and grow UNE’s research and
graduate programs,” Ford said.
As part of the University’s strategic plan, Ford will work to create
centers of research excellence, building on UNE’s strengths in four areas,
starting with marine and environmental science, a natural fit for UNE.
Other areas include neuroscience with a focus on pain management,
clinical research, and the humanities. With the new College of Pharmacy,
pharmaceutical research will soon be an active area of study at UNE,
as well. Creating centers for research excellence is a strategy that will
help attract major program project and center funding, as the National
Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) are
encouraging such collaborative efforts. The four focus areas are being
finalized now and Ford anticipates they will be formally established
in the next several months. They will create undergraduate research
opportunities and potential graduate programs.
One of Ford’s research ideas involves applying to the NIH’s Center
of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) program to address health
disparities among poor, rural communities, with a focus on translational,
community-based participatory research. He said, “Much like my
research work in Montana, I would like to work with Maine’s American
Indian tribes on projects that contribute to reduction in health disparities.
As health science programs are an area of strength at UNE, it makes
perfect sense.” Ford looks forward to exploring other areas of research and
scholarship excellence as he becomes increasingly familiar with the UNE
community.
Ford earned his doctoral degree from the University of Wales in
Aquatic Microbiology, working on pristine river systems in Wales, the
Alaskan Arctic and the boreal forests of Quebec. In 1985, he came
to the United States as a post-doctoral researcher in environmental
microbiology at Harvard University. He joined the faculty of the Harvard
School of Public Health (HSPH) in the late 1980s, and both founded
and directed its Program in Water and Health. Ford remains an adjunct
associate professor at HSPH. Tiring of the four-hour commute each

When speaking with Tim Ford, Ph.D.,
one realizes immediately from his cultured
British tones that he is “from away.” As a
matter of fact, he hails from a small village
southeast of London — Woldingham in
Surrey, population 2,326. That was just one of
the factors that drew this eminent, Harvardeducated
research scientist to make his home
here in Maine. Another was the opportunity
to be a driving force in establishing UNE as a
world-class research institution.

Tim Ford’s research has taken him to areas as diverse as India, to study the Ganges River, and Montana, to study the water systems
of Native American communities such as the Crow.
day from Rockport, Mass. to Boston, and looking to explore other
opportunities, Ford subsequently took a position as professor and
head of the Department of Microbiology at Montana State University.
Beginning in 2004, he directed the Montana INBRE Program (IdEA
Network of Biomedical Research Excellence), which focuses on increasing
the biomedical research capacity of Montana by building research
infrastructure, supporting faculty and student research, and fostering a
state-wide collaborative network.
Ford’s decision to join UNE aligned with his strong interest in
environmental health research and his experience working with graduate
students. Ford has advised some 60 masters, doctoral and postdoctoral
students in his career thus far, and still works with three in Montana.
His background in environmental microbiology led to Ford’s first
research project in environmental health studying the fate and transport
of toxic metals in a major Mexican lake in the late 1980s. This early work
led to a major project on the interaction between microbes and pollutants
in New Bedford Harbor, Mass., an EPA-designated Superfund toxic waste
site, and to international work on water and health, primarily in Russia
and India.
In Montana, Ford continues to be involved in active NIH- and
EPA-funded research on American Indian reservations, studying the
communities’ exposure to contaminants, primarily in rivers and streams.
He is proud that some of that work has been used to help obtain
substantial federal funding to upgrade one of the reservation’s wastewater
treatment plants. Working with the Native American groups over the
past several years, Ford has seen the effects of poor water treatment,
unemployment and the health disparities of a poor, rural environment,
and yet, he said, “The people in these communities are inspirational —
talking to the elders, with their history and their hopes for the future of
their tribes, there is the incredible desire to improve conditions and bring
back a sense of purpose.”
Ford has also continued his international work, and has been
conducting epidemiological studies researching pollution in the Ganges
River with Montana research scientist Steve Hamner (some of whose
photographs are shown in this article) for the past several years. They
worked with scientists from the Sankat Mochan Foundation, led by
Veer Bhadra Mishra, who has been recognized by the United Nations
and Time magazine as a hero of the planet. Containing everything from
untreated sewage and cremated remains to toxic chemicals, Ford said
in an article in Science Daily, “The
Ganges is considered a goddess, but it
has become a soup of pollution.” He
stated that people wash their laundry “Much like my research work

While at UNE, Ford plans to continue his research on health and the
environment both in the U.S. and internationally, and he will encourage
faculty and student exchange with institutions such as Nanjing University
in China. He said India and China, in particular, are enthusiastic about
sending students to the U.S. For the past several years, Ford has worked
with colleagues at Nanjing University and he returned in October,
representing the international community as the Academic Chair for
their second international conference on environmental health. In the
near future, Ford hopes to research the severely polluted Yangtze River,
or the issue of air pollution in China. He said, “If we don’t look at
environmental problems in China, there’s no point in addressing them
here, because what happens over there ends up here.” Ford sees a parallel
with all of his work, whether in India or Montana, in that rural areas and
slums are the last places to get sanitation or clean, running water and that
lack of sanitation leads to disease.
Ford is excited to be at UNE; he loves the campus and the
enthusiasm, and he hopes to build on existing strengths to help “bring
UNE national and international recognition as an attractive place to
conduct research.”

Pickus Center for Biomedical Research
and Cécile Morgane Research Laboratories Dedication
The dedication of the Pickus Center for Biomedical Research, including the Cécile
Morgane Research Laboratories, took place on October 12 with numerous trustees,
faculty, staff and students in attendance. This long awaited facility, the first at UNE
devoted solely to research, is critical to the development and expansion of the
research agendas of the University of New England and the College of Osteopathic
Medicine. Both Dr. Owen Pickus and Peter Morgane, Ph.D. spoke, citing the lifechanging
research that will be conducted at the Center, as well as the numerous
benefits to the University, the surrounding community and the state.
The new building features six large research laboratories and associated support
spaces, including conference rooms that can double as seminar-style classrooms,
offices for faculty investigators and support staff, and a large uncompleted space
that will house a vivarium as funding becomes available.
Faculty researchers David Mokler, Ph.D. and Peter Morgane, Ph.D. (who is
also a major donor to the new building) are in the process of moving in and
outfitting their laboratories. Morgane stated, “The building was designed using a
‘modular’ concept so laboratories could be outfitted to accommodate the specific
requirements of researchers with differing needs. We can reconfigure laboratories
as the needs of researchers change or as new researchers are added.”
Tim Ford, Ph.D., UNE’s new Vice President for Research and Dean of Graduate
Studies, and his staff, including the Office of Sponsored Programs, have also
moved in to support the nascent research activities. The University will use
the newly created spaces to recruit funded researchers and increase its
research profile.

BIG BLUE
GOES GREEN!
This fall UNE introduced a unique program to reduce
the number of cars on campus and reduce our carbon
footprint. A collaborative initiative developed by
the Office of Student Affairs and Office of Safety
and Security, our “Big Blue Goes Green” alternative
transportation program was a resounding success.
Initial response was so strong that an additional three-dozen L.L. Bean bikes were
ordered for latecomers to the program in September. Request for car permits among
freshman dropped from close to 70 percent of students last year to about 25 percent
this year. Our goal is to change the culture and motivate students to choose alternative
transportation by providing attractive and convenient access to off-campus destinations.
Students love their bikes, and one even boasted, “I’m not going to gain the ‘freshman
fifteen’…I’m going to lose it!” As winter weather approaches, students who want to
venture off campus can still join Zipcar and pay just $7 an hour to drive a brand-new
Honda CR-V(gas and insurance included); car-pooling is encouraged.
Look for more news about this exciting program and other green initiatives on the

Biology Professors Frederich and Fritz Receive NSF Grant
Markus Frederich, Ph.D., assistant professor, and Larry Fritz, Ph.D., former professor, Department of Biological Sciences,
have been awarded $7,500 as a supplement to their current $575,000 teaching grant from the National Science
Foundation (NSF). The supplemental award will support a conference at UNE in March 2009, which will highlight
undergraduate research in the northeast. As part of the SynER-G teaching grant, honors undergraduate biology
students will work together with students in the biological sciences and marine biology master’s programs to
plan and organize the conference.
Kaitlyn Dyleski, a junior, and Brittany Stratton, a senior,
are creating the website through an internship, for which
they will receive college credit. The idea for the project
originated with Owen Grumbling, Ph.D., professor and
chair of the Department of Environmental Studies,
who is a member of Biddeford’s Energy Conservation
Commission. The project was supervised by Biddeford
Environmental Codes Officer Brian Phinney. The website
focused on the most relevant ways municipalities can
be energy efficient in eight categories such as solar
power, transportation and water conservation. It also
gathers reference information and case studies, provides
information on low-cost ways cities can save energy,
and highlights how larger sustainability projects can
be financed by municipalities with no impact on
property taxes. “This internship not only increased
my awareness of various types of energy efficiencies,
but also gave me the opportunity to create a
difference in the community,” Stratton said. “By
constructing this website I felt that I was actually
using my education to raise awareness as to what
each individual and organization can do to decrease
their impact on the environment.”

College of Osteopathic Medicine Commits to Putting the Patient First
After a year of strategic planning, the faculty, staff and students at the College of Osteopathic Medicine finalized a new
mission statement, a set of core values and a new vision for COM as it marked its 30 th year since enrolling the first class
in October of 1978. The important aspects of any successful strategic plan include strategic initiatives, action steps and
timetables. In order to live the mission and achieve the vision, the College has produced a detailed strategic plan that
includes dozens of important milestones.
New Dean John R. Gimpel, D.O., M.Ed. said, “In many ways, the core mission
remains consistent with the founding mission of 1978, with our ‘commitment
to advancing primary care’ and ‘New England’ remaining as key elements.”
He added, “New aspects include what the College’s faculty members have
described as transformation, the process of formation which is more than
an education or training, but a formation of a physician that occurs from
the time when students first set foot on campus to when they graduate as
osteopathic physicians.”
The addition of leadership and community into the revised mission
statement speaks to COM’s commitment to health care as a whole and its
newer programs in public health, medical education leadership, and post
baccalaureate medical sciences. In addition, the College has committed to
graduating osteopathic physicians and other healthcare professionals who
always put the patient first.
With the College and the University’s recent investments in research,
their strong history of innovation and commitment to teaching and learning,
and strong programs in service, fulfilling this vision can become a reality by
putting the patient first.
Maine Cancer Foundation Awards
Professor Edward Bilsky Grant
to Study Bone Cancer Pain
Edward Bilsky, Ph.D., a COM associate professor of
pharmacology, received an $82,000 grant from the Maine
Cancer Foundation to study the effects of delta opioid receptor
(DOR) agonists in bone cancer pain. Bone cancer pain is one of
the more common and challenging symptoms associated with
advanced cancer. Current treatments for bone cancer pain are
limited due to lack of efficacy, side effects and/or difficulty in
dosing and administration. Dr. Bilsky’s previous research has
provided a rationale for developing pharmacotherapies that
target the delta opioid receptor in chronic pain. The research
funded by the Maine Cancer Foundation will investigate the
activity and side-effect profile of novel drugs that activate the
DOR in a mouse model of bone cancer, with the ultimate goal of
having better analgesics for bone cancer pain patients (as well
as other cancer-related pain conditions).

to the community and its role in educating osteopathic
students. Clinical practitioners and basic scientists
from COM, Southern Maine Medical Center and the
community serve at the Free Clinic to meet the needs of
those who otherwise have no access to health care.
“The activities of the Free Clinic and the involvement
of the students of the College of Osteopathic Medicine
provide a real-life example of the ‘Putting Patients First’
philosophy of education embraced by the college in
its curriculum and service,” said Bruce Bates, D.O., staff
physician and chair of COM’s Department of Family
Medicine. “It is only through community support and
partnerships like this that we are able to provide
high-quality, free medical care to our neighbors
who need it most,” said clinic executive director Joan
Gordon.
The AOA Spirit of Humanity Award is sponsored
by AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals to recognize an
individual or program that contributes to community
service while enhancing osteopathic education. The
Biddeford Free Clinic and Dr. Kleeman’s efforts have
also been recognized by local NBC affiliate WCSH

COM Launches Online Journal of Population Health
The Online Journal of Population Health shares peer-reviewed, original research and book reviews from UNE
students and contributors in the field of osteopathic medicine and public health. It highlights important
population health issues that cover a broad spectrum from health promotion and disease prevention to
international and environmental health, injury prevention, clinical practice and medical technology, and
consumers’ use of health information online. These areas provide a glimpse into the vast arena of population
health — a field quickly claiming a priority position on health agendas at every level of practice.
COM WELCOMES
THE CLASS OF 2012
The 123 members of the College of Osteopathic
Medicine’s class of 2012 were selected from a record
number of nearly 3,370 applicants, double the
amount received in the past five years. About 350
qualified candidates were interviewed between
September 2007 and March 2008, resulting in an
acceptance rate of about seven percent.
Sixty-nine percent of the class hails from the six New
England states, with 20 percent (23 students) from the
state of Maine. Massachusetts is the state most represented
with 29 students; New Hampshire is third with 13 and
Connecticut fourth with 12 students. The rest come from
other northeastern states, as well as Maryland, Delaware,
Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Minnesota, and some as far away as
Florida, Utah, California and Washington, and also Canada.
Members of this class did their undergraduate work
across the academic spectrum from Assumption College
to Worcester Polytechnic Institute, from most institutions
in Maine to as far away as Brigham Young University,
Colorado College, Creighton University and San Francisco
State University. Seventeen hold master’s degrees in public
health or the biological sciences, but also in business, social
work and theology; two hold a Doctor of Physical Therapy.
As expected, nearly 60 percent of the class have
degrees in biology, biochemistry or chemistry but there
are also students with degrees in economics, English,
foreign languages, history, journalism, nutrition, political
science, psychology and religion.
Oh, the things you’ll D.O.
Forty second-year COM students welcomed 123 brand new
students to the class of 2012. With an orientation theme
“Oh, the things you’ll D.O.,” they provided an overview of
the first year as well as the overall four-year curriculum,
shared strategies on how to study for block exams,
answered questions about what to expect in the first
anatomy lab and led discussions on professionalism. The
two-day formal orientation program ended with a clubs
and organizations fair where more than 35 groups educated
the new students about ways in which they could become
involved in the College, the University or greater Biddeford-
Saco community; and Deans Gimpel, Manyan and Johnson
served ice cream sundaes at the event.

College of Pharmacy Receives $4 Million
Grant for Pharmaceutical Research
Nursing Freshman is
“Smarter Than a Fifth Grader”
One of the Chandler quintuplets from Colorado, first-year
nursing student Meagan Chandler, has often been featured
in the media. In a “Today Show” interview this past spring
with her siblings focusing on the quints’ college plans,
Meagan said, “I chose to attend UNE because it has a great
nursing program, but also because it’s a great opportunity
to fly the coop, find some adventure and go off on my own.”
In July she and her siblings were invited to be part of
the “guest class” on the game show “Are You Smarter Than
a 5th Grader,” where her mother Jeri was the contestant. In
a two-day period in September, the family’s winnings were
up to $175,000 and they were going for $300,000 when a
5 th grade-level science question was asked — “what are the
elements of carbohydrates?” Jeri chose Meagan to advise
on this particular question, as she is the oldest quint, and
known as the smart one of the family. Uncertain about the
answer, Jeri decided not to gamble their existing winnings
on whether either of their answers were correct. As it turned
out, both she and Meagan had actually chosen the correct
answer (carbon, hydrogen and oxygen). However, the
family was not disappointed, as Jeri stated, $175,000 will
help pay for a lot of tuition bills!
Back on campus, Meagan is keeping busy — while
studying nursing, she is also commuting to the Biddeford
campus to play on the soccer team, which as of this writing,
stands 10-1 overall!

Canadian
COMBINATION
by Curt Smyth
20 U N I V E R S I T Y O F N E W E N G L A N D | www.une.edu
At first glance, it would appear
they have very little in common.
One is six-feet tall, 205 pounds and
cut like a diamond; the other a slender
five-foot-nine, 155 pounds. One enjoys
putting the hockey puck into the back
of the cage; the other relishes the
challenge of keeping the puck out of the
net. Yet, Grant Gosselin and Mike Roper
have one striking similarity — both
are natives of Canada and serve as the
bedrock for the budding University of
New England men’s ice hockey program.
Visit www.une.edu/athletics for more
Grant Gosselin, Sports Management ’12
After a hiatus of more than 25
years, UNE has resurrected its ice
hockey program. St. Francis College
boasted a hockey powerhouse in
the late 1970’s, winning three
consecutive National Association
of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)
district championships, which led to
appearances at the NAIA National
Tournament. Difficult financial
times and other factors caused the
hockey program to go dormant, but
the Nor’easters were brought back to
life in March of 2007 to play a club
schedule in 2007/08 and 2008/09
before becoming a full-fledged varsity
program.
Enter Brad Holt and the
challenges that faced the veteran
coach who was hired July 17, 2007 —
little more than a month before the
start of the academic year.
Holt knew when he accepted the
job that he would be leading a group
with a meager amount of hockey
experience and raw talent, but what
he didn’t know was that the collection
of returning and incoming students
interested in playing hockey included
no goalie.
“The first thing I did was get
on the phone and call three goalie
coaches I know,” said Holt. Dave
MacIntrye, a University of New
Hampshire grad who played for
Holt’s father there, suggested Holt
contact a young man from Trenton,
Nova Scotia named Mike Roper.

Mike Roper, Business Administration ’11
Roper visited UNE on Labor Day and fell in love with what he
saw. He headed home that afternoon, then returned two days later
for the start of classes.
Gosselin’s journey to UNE took a slightly different twist.
Gosselin — who hails from Beaconsfield, a suburb of Montreal —
had attended Brewster Academy in Massachusetts for two years, and
at the suggestion of Brewster assistant coach Craig Churchill, paid
UNE a visit over winter break.
“I really liked the small school atmosphere,” said Gosselin. “I
had the chance to skate with the team, and I knew of Coach Holt
before I got here. I was pretty excited about the situation.”
Prior to Gosselin’s arrival, the Nor’easters were suffering through
the pitfalls any first-year program might encounter. Through
their first nine games, the Nor’easters were 0-8-1 and had been
outscored, 53-12. Roper was literally the only “saving grace,”
turning away an average of nearly 49 shots a game. Without Roper’s
presence, the lopsided outcomes would have been far worse.
It took very little time for Gosselin to make his presence felt, as
he scored in the opening period of his first game. UNE went on to
win three of its final five games, with Gosselin piling up 11 goals
in seven contests, including four in the season finale versus Daniel
Webster College.
Despite a trying start, the Nor’easters had turned things around
and finished the season on a positive note.
“We really set a good foundation for the program,’ said Roper.
“Coach (Holt) really helped everyone improve his game. He never
once gave up on us.”
“The most rewarding thing was finishing the season strong,”
added Gosselin. “It reflected so positively on (Holt). It was nice to
be able to give something back to him.”
Long before Roper and Gosselin made such an impact on
the Nor’easters’ ice hockey program, they were each immersed
www.une.edu/athletics
The strong academic record of UNE athletes and the excellent program Coach Brad Holt has put together, have resulted in
UNE’s hockey team being chosen to play in the ECAC-EAST, joining Skidmore, Babson and a number of quality institutions.
The league also plays the NESCAC schools in hockey including Colby, Middlebury and Bowdoin.
in a staple of a nation’s culture at an early age. Each began playing
organized hockey at the age of five. Both worked their way through
the structure of Canadian youth hockey, culminating with Bantam
AAA as teenagers.
Hockey is a way of life north of the border.
“You can’t drive anywhere in my town without seeing a road
hockey game on every second street,” said Roper. “In my town of
about 30,000, there are six rinks that are available.”
Why would each leave their country to go to a small school with
a new hockey program that technically will be at pre-varsity status
the first few years?
“For me, it was an easy decision,” said Gosselin. “Coach Holt
is such a highly-regarded person and has a great reputation. One of
the other aspects that drew me here is to be a building block for a
program that is going to be very successful.”
And Roper? “I think being part of the first UNE hockey team is
something special. I believe Coach (Holt) will develop the program
to a point where one day we can look back and be proud to say ‘I
was on the very first UNE hockey team’. We may only have won
three games (the first year), but every team starts somewhere, and I’m
glad I was part of it.”
While both Roper and Gosselin look to the future, Holt is quick
to remember the past. He has St. Francis memorabilia displayed in
his office, and the team has an award named after former SFC coach
Bob Riley, as well as the St. Francis Seventh Player Award.
“I think it’s incredibly important to embrace what those guys
did,” said Holt. “What they accomplished has made things easier
for us to get going. Hockey players don’t forget the past—we are so
incredibly proud to be associated with St. Francis College Hockey.”
And rest assured, as the Nor’easters seek to reach the level of
success achieved by St. Francis in the late 1970’s, Mike Roper and
Grant Gosselin will be leading the way.

Prolific St. Francis
Alum Norman
Beaupré Publishes
New Book
The Boy With the Blue Cap—Van Gogh in Arles
is the latest book to be published from author,
professor emeritus and St. Francis alumnus
Norman Beaupré. Beaupré enjoyed teaching
world literature and French Impressionism as
well as Post-Impressionism during his college
career. Over the years, he developed a special
liking for Van Gogh, the man, his drawings
and his paintings. The story is told by a young
precocious boy, Camille Roulin, son of the
postal worker, Joseph Roulin, whose family
Van Gogh painted portraits of while in Arles.
As part of the novel’s plot based on plausible
happenings in and around Saintes-Maries-dela-Mer,
an element of intrigue is added with
the introduction of two gypsy women in Van
Gogh’s life. Beaupré stated that this book
“holds a special place in this writer’s heart
and creative imagination because it’s a work
melding together historical fiction and the
fine arts.”
Beaupré has already started on his 11 th
work, a collection of tales and stories in French
with several contributors who are now in the
process of writing their tales. The new work is
entitled, Voix Francophones de chez nous, contes
et histoires. The collection will be out by next
spring 2009. His one-woman play, a dramatic
monologue, was produced in Paris in October,
marking the first time a Franco-American work
was performed in Paris. Marie Cormier, the
actress who plays the part of “La Souillonne,”
was featured in the play. Both Cormier and
Beaupré traveled to Dijon then on to Angers for
more performances.

2008 issue of Newsweek magazine. Cohen, who was serving with the 86th Combat Support Hospital in Iraq, wrote
“Those who die, even here in a combat zone, die with a piece of us. They take a piece of our lives with them. We can
work to fight the inevitable — for minutes, for hours, for days. But in the end they all take something of us with
them. The Iraqi children who are burned by a kerosene heater, the mother who is shot by an unseen enemy, the
contractor whose life is taken by an anonymous mortar, the soldier who dies fighting for her faraway home.” For the

Lindsay Rockwell’s Book Featured in Mass. Business Magazine
BusinessWest (Springfield, Mass.) June 9, 2008 published a feature story on UNECOM alumna Lindsay Rockwell,
D.O. ’00 and the recent book she co-authored, titled In Defiance of Death: Exposing the Real Costs of End-of-Life Care.
“We have, as a medical culture, moved away from being able to differentiate when it is time to allow the body’s
natural process of death to occur and when it is appropriate to intervene — and sometimes that line becomes
blurred,” Rockwell explained. “So much of our training as a physician is in keeping people alive because, well, life is
good.” Rockwell is an oncologist and hematologist at Cooley Dickinson Hospital. For the entire article, go to www.

care in India. In addition, Professor Tarun
Khanna, of the Harvard Business School,
will give a talk primarily based on his book:

Kerr and Peter Lynch.

Raymond Deleo writes, “I have kept busy
tending to the needs of my 92 year old parents
with the nursing skills of my wife Marge which
has been very helpful. I am enjoying retirement
years-remodeling homes and assisting my son in
law with a new business- Valerie Spencer Interior
Design (our grandkids names).”
Joseph Conrad Gagnon writes, “Besides singing
my Family Folk Music in the Hudson Valley and
poetry readings, I am now involved in a project
that will make our highways safer for everyone.
Road Rage is all too prevalent on all our roads.
I have a campaign of Road Rage Relief - Pax
Nobiscum that is growing and will save lives.
Please visit my site: www.ConradPaxNobiscum.
com I am gaining momentum in New York
and see this going much further. I don’t
know if you are familiar with Pete Seeger.
His recommendation is there with other local
notables. I suppose there is no Road Rage in
Maine.... (I know better).... and you can fight
it from inside your car. It is so very important
that people be aware of this way to counter
unnecessary violence on our highways. I was
published in ZEPHYR in the Spring 2007 issue.
UNE has been gracious to us Saint Francis College
guys and has bent over backwards to help keep
those hallowed grounds as our “home.” I am so
pleased that my classmate, Pete Lynch, is being
recognized. I also had an essay entitled “Change”
published online at the University after my
fortieth anniversary in 2004.”
Robert Jones writes, “I can’t believe it, but I’ve
just completed ten years of retirement as an
elementary teacher/principal. Still work part
time doing school photography, which is most
enjoyable. In June, fellow classmate Bill Marrah,
his friend Dee, my wife Ginny and I enjoyed a
great cruise to Bermuda. In June, a number of
classmates attended the dedication of a gazebo
at the Prospect Connecticut Public Library in
memory of classmate Dominic Moschella who
passed away in the spring of 2007. Listening to
the short speeches, it was obvious that Dominic
was well liked and respected in his community.
Finally, begin making plans for our 45th reunion
(yikes!!!) scheduled for September 25-27, 2009.
We’ve always had a good turnout, but it would
be great to see some of you who have not
“surfaced” since 1964.”

Recently we were fortunate enough to be

Summit in Florida and look forward to doing
more national and regional level trade
shows in the near future. Wow, it seems like
yesterday that I was at UNE staring out my
window on first floor Padua dreaming of
what the future might hold. I have found
that living and working in Maine is akin to
going to school at UNE. Small enough to get
to know people in the medical, political and
business communities, but large enough to
offer plenty of opportunities to do what you
want- guided by your passions. I often think
how different my life would be if I did not go
to UNE. The day that Northeastern sent me a
letter that informed me that I was basically
not intelligent enough to be a physical
therapist- was the day that changed my life
forever. Not sure if I ever told anyone this story
but just after we graduated from UNE, I sent a
thank you letter to the Dean of Admissions at
Northeastern University along with our credit
card size duplicate diploma and their rejection
letter with a statement that their letter served
as plenty of motivation for me to work hard
at a great school no one knew about. Now you
know…the rest of the story.”

Needless to say we are going different directions
keeping up with them but enjoy every
minute of it. I have been an Office Manager for
Eakes Office Plus the past 9 years and Darla is
Vice President of Platte Valley State Bank here
in Grand Island, Nebraska. We just completed
our 17th marathon together and running has
become our hobby besides coaching our kids

ANNUAL REPORT of
PHILANTHROPY
At this time of year when Thanksgiving nears, we take stock of the gifts we
have received from our generous supporters. This issue of Nexus includes our
annual Report of Philanthropy and allows me the opportunity to express my
thanks for your continued giving.
In these tough economic times, the University is doing reasonably well when so many others
are not. That is thanks in large part to support from you, our staunch alumni and friends. This
past fiscal year, more than 3,500 donors made gifts to the University, totaling $4,941,461 —
a record year for UNE! This generosity came from alumni, parents, faculty, staff, corporations,
foundations and even our students.
As the University of New England continues on its path of unprecedented growth, with
two new buildings recently dedicated and another one due to be completed this spring,
enrollment continuing to grow, new programs and staff being hired, new research initiatives
being pursued, athletics succeeding beyond expectations, and on and on, we appreciate the
investment our donors have made in our future. The financial support you give ultimately
benefits the reason we’re all here — our students.
In this election year, I’m reminded of a quote from President John F. Kennedy, who said,
“The raising of extraordinarily large sums of money, given voluntarily and freely by millions
of our fellow Americans, is a unique American tradition... Philanthropy, charity, giving
voluntarily and freely... call it what you like, but it is truly a jewel of an American tradition.”
In that vein, I would like to thank the following people who gave lead gifts for their support:
Allied/Cook Construction and the Cook family, the Betterment Fund, Dorothy Dixon WC
’41, Brian and Deborah Dallaire, Hannaford Bros. Co, the Hearst Foundation, Rosemary
Kelley, the Libra Foundation, Sodexho, Maine Health Access Foundation and Peter J.

UNE Alumna Barbara Kamm’s
Legacy Lives On
UNE alumna Barbara J. Kamm MSW ’91, passed away in 2006 but her legacy will
live on. Her husband, Christian S. Hosford, established an endowed scholarship
at $50,000 and an annual fund scholarship at $15,000 for UNE nursing students
in need of financial support.
Barbara had a distinguished career in the fields of adoption casework, medicine
and counseling, and she served in the United States Armed Forces and was a
Bethesda Navy Hospital Nurse for many years. The scholarship in her honor
gives preference to those students with an interest in psychiatric nursing, a
field she was passionate about, as well as those who have served or are in the
United States Armed Forces.
CHP Associate Dean and MSW Professor Clay Graybeal recounted his memories
of Barbara. "Barbara was part of the second graduating MSW class. At the
grad party held at my house, we had a bonfire where each student ceremonially
threw a log in, and I remember Barbara’s joy when she called out ‘Barbara
Kamm, MSW!’ She was a wonderful student, highly motivated, caring, and
a good role model for others. She adopted three Korean children, and was a
great advocate for diversity and social action. With her wonderful combination
of nursing and social work skills, Barbara was a tribute to inter-disciplinarity."
Choosing the student scholarship recipients involved several of Barbara and
Chris’ children and close friends. Chris’ daughter, Jillian Hosford Darling,
stated it best in an email to him, “Reading these women’s stories and applications
is very inspiring and reminds me how significant an impact a scholarship
can really be in someone’s life and career. It is wonderful that you have started
this legacy, and it will be great to try and follow these young women in their
careers. They are certain to help touch the lives of thousands of patients. It is
amazing to think about how one gift can create a thousand ripples of support
and potential in this world. No one can do it alone, we all need the support of
those we love and sometimes from those miracle strangers!"
Annual Report of Giving 37

From Dallaire’s beginnings as a child in Biddeford and Saco, Maine
(“I’m from both sides of the river,” he said), he couldn’t have imagined
the kind of impact he would have. In the past, the pharmacy profession
was traditionally passed down within families, but when Dallaire was in
seventh grade, a career exploration assignment changed his life’s path. “I
enjoyed and excelled at science, and when researching potential careers,
I discovered the field of pharmacy, which my teacher encouraged me to
pursue. Unlike many kids who discover a career focus that early, I kept
my enthusiasm for the field.”
Since Maine had no pharmacy school, and being a good student, Dallaire
was eligible for a reciprocal program, paying in-state tuition to attend
University of Connecticut or University of Rhode Island’s pharmacy
programs and he opted for the latter. In the late 70’s, his full ride came to
$1100, quite a change from college tuition costs today. Although there
are many Maine students interested in the field of pharmacy today, until
2006 the state still did not have a Pharmacy School. That was just one
of the reasons Dallaire became interested in helping to support UNE’s

pharmacy school — to provide a place for much-needed pharmacy
education in Maine.
With the field of pharmacy moving towards being more information
technology-oriented, UNE’s school will include a Pharmacy Information
Center, providing reference information about drugs to pharmacists, healthcare
providers, faculty and students, and even the general public. In addition,
having spent 26 years in a career in pharmaceutical research, and having
helped to develop drugs, including one to treat Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma,
Dallaire understands the need for such research to be done at a university
in this region. “UNE can be the launching point for pharmaceutical and
biomedical research,” he said.
With his $100,000 commitment towards the pharmacy building, Dallaire
said he is proud to be a part of the establishment of UNE’s pharmacy school,
stating, “No longer will pharmacy students have to go elsewhere to study.
UNE’s program will be the touchstone for pharmacists and researchers in
northern New England.”

Westbrook Alumna Alice Savage Helps UNE Students Pursue Their Dreams
Alice Savage with Maine Women Writers
Collection Founder, Dorothy Healy.
Westbrook Junior College
afforded Portland, Maine
native Alice M. Savage,
M.D., Ph.D., FACP,
’55 the opportunity to
pursue higher education.
Throughout her long career
in teaching, medicine
and health administration
(Department of Veterans
Affairs), her commitment
to and affection for Westbrook and the
University of New England has been notable.
Her endowed scholarships are enabling
students to follow their dreams, while the
marine science laboratory named in her
honor provides a suitable atmosphere for
teaching and research.
Recently, she established the
Friends of the Maine Women
Writers Collection Endowment
Fund recognizing the significance
of this unique collection
to students, scholars, and the
University and helping to ensure
the growth and longevity of this
inspirational collection.
“Alice is passionately invested in
UNE. She is generous and even-handed,
supporting the sciences, but also valuing
the importance of the humanities. She
gives to the areas of her own interests but
to those most needed by UNE as well,”
said MWWC Curator Cally Gurley.

Hannaford Charitable Foundation
Partners in Philanthropy
At its core, philanthropy is a partnership, where donor and beneficiary
have shared values and common goals. The Hannaford Charitable
Foundation has exemplified this philosophy with a long history of
contributions to the University of New England.
With more than 160 stores in the northeastern United States,
Hannaford is well aware of the shortage of qualified pharmacists, and its
lead gift of $1 million for the new College of Pharmacy made it possible
for UNE to act quickly to help meet this critical need. But Hannaford’s
giving has gone even further, from a grant years ago to help fund the
feasibility study for the new College, to the in-kind support of a loaned
executive who has helped establish clinical rotations for students at retail
stores and hospitals throughout New England.
Starting next year, the Hannaford Pharmacy Practice Lab in the new
College will provide a perfect venue for student learning, and serve as a
testament to Hannaford’s invaluable collaboration.
“UNE and Hannaford share a commitment to the health and well being
of the local communities we serve. The University of New England is
a recognized leader in healthcare education for the state and the region
and the Hannaford Charitable Foundation is pleased to be able to
partner with UNE in training the next generation of pharmacists,”
said Mark Doiron, a senior vice president of Hannaford Supermarkets.

Osteopathic Organizations
Support Future Physicians
When the New England College of Osteopathic Medicine was founded in 1978, it was largely
due to the support and hard work of New England osteopathic physicians, their state societies,
the region's osteopathic hospitals and grateful patients. The dedication shown in those

early days — exemplified by clinical faculty's donation of
four years of their time, and the unrelenting will of the
founders, showed a deep commitment to the future. That
dedication continues today with the support of regional
osteopathic organizations.
Initiated by Francis Di Perri, the wife of Charles Di Perri,
D.O., the Southern Maine Osteopathic Group (SMOG)
has significantly contributed to the Di Perri-SMOG Endowment.
That endowment is now ready to be disbursed
and will benefit Osteopathic Family Practice residency
training at the University beginning this year.
When asked why the group decided to contribute to this
endowed fund, the group’s founder and President, Ira
Stockwell, D.O. said, "I knew Charlie Di Perri well, he was
a general family practice doc from a small town — he did
10 house calls per day. Family practice is the core of the
osteopathic profession and is greatly needed in Maine. The
more people that train here, the more will stay to practice
in the state, so our support will help UNECOM to provide
that vital training."
In addition to SMOG’s support, other osteopathic associations
in the area have also contributed to UNE and
UNECOM with the Maine, Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire osteopathic associations having contributed
their support to the new Pickus Center for Biomedical Research
and the New England Osteopathic Heritage Center
through the Annual Fund.

A GIFT of LOVE
DOROTHY WALLACE DIXON WC ’41
When Dorothy Helen Wallace began elementary school, she had no way of knowing she would complete her entire scholastic career
on one street. Made famous by Ripley’s Believe it or Not, Stevens Avenue is the only street on which you can study from pre-school
through college, and that’s exactly what Dottie did by attending Deering High School, and then on to Westbrook Junior College.
t Westbrook, Dorothy (or Dottie) was a serious student
and a hard worker, also known for her lovely voice
and her dancing and acting ability. Involved in many
activities, including the Drama Club and the Riding Club, she was
also vice president of the Glee Club, which was considered one of
the best at that time in New England. In the yearbook, The Tower,
she was listed as loving orchids, music, and Gone With the Wind.
After her graduation from Westbrook in 1941, Dottie went on to
work as a secretary at radio station WGAN during the 40s and she
sang in Arthur Kendall’s band. She met and married Charles Dixon
and lived in Cape Elizabeth until his death in 1987.
Dottie always enjoyed going to Deering High School’s
reunions, and in 1989, she decided to attend the 50th A
reunion.
While there, her friends invited her old friend Arthur McCubrey,
whom she briefly dated while in high school, over for a chat. The
two immediately hit it off and as Arthur put it, “We talked a mile a
minute during dinner.”
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
LEAVE A LEGACY
That reunion, Arthur’s first (he said he would have skipped it if
someone had asked him to go to a ballgame instead) resulted in his
spending the next 18 years with Dottie. As both of them had lost
their spouses, they eventually became companions, and they spent
winters in Florida and summers at Arthur’s home in Standish. They
enjoyed canoe trips, gardening and dancing and as Arthur said,
“She was a kind and gracious lady, a lady of the first degree.”
Sadly, Dottie passed away in 2007, and through an established
planned gift, left half of her estate, more than $1 million, to the
Westbrook College Campus of UNE. In view of such astounding
generosity, Arthur tried to explain Dottie’s motivation for such a
gift. “Dottie was an only child, and her Westbrook friends became
like sisters to her — she made lifelong friends there.” He added,
“Any time Westbrook called, she would respond — whether
through donations or volunteering her time — she rarely missed a
class reunion.” Dottie Dixon was a person who loved her school,
and the people she spent her life with. She has continued that
spirit, by extending her gift to future generations.
To add your gift to the generosity of those such as Dottie Dixon, or to find out more about planned giving,

MAKE A DIFFERENCE – Forever
You make a difference in the life of a student when you make a gift to the University of
New England. When you establish an endowment, you make a difference forever.
Endowment gifts create a legacy, are invested and are perpetual. They help highachieving
students with more ambition than financial resources, attract senior-level
faculty, provide opportunities for student and faculty research, and build and sustain
facilities, academic programs and institutes. Endowments are more durable than bricks
and mortar and will outlast virtually any other kind of gift.
Endowments position the University of New England for the future.
