2025 Alumni Achievement Award Honorees

Each year the UMaine Alumni Association recognizes several individuals who have performed distinguished service on behalf of their professions, communities, and alma mater.  See below for more information on our 2025 honorees.

On May 2, faculty, staff, and friends and family of these deserving awardees gathered at Wells Conference Center for an evening of honor and appreciation. A reception, followed by dinner and the program hosted by Danny Williams ’91, ’94G complete with video tributes for each awardee, made for a memorable evening. Browse the photo album here.

The individual award tribute videos can also be found on the Alumni Association’s YouTube Channel. Congratulations to all!
