A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held March 3 from 1-2 p.m. for the Summit Project Honor Case at the University of Maine at Augusta (UMA) recognizing 20 service members from the state from all branches of the military who have lost their lives in the line of duty since Sept. 11, 2001. The event will be held in the Katz building on the university’s Augusta campus, 46 University Dr, Augusta, Maine.
Prior to the ceremony, UMA community members will participate in a Tribute Stones Hike on the university’s nature trails. The hike begins at 10 a.m. and will include a Circle Celebration, all while carrying Tribute Stones engraved with the names of 20 Maine service members, before joining the ribbon cutting ceremony. For more information on the hike, contact Ben DeMerchant, benjamin.demerchant@maine.edu.
The Summit Project is a Maine-based nonprofit volunteer service organization that pays tribute to Maine’s fallen heroes since 9-11 to help ensure they are not forgotten. The Summit Project Honor Case moves to different locations in Maine “as an instrument to help recognize and pay proper tribute to the sacrifices made by Maine’s fallen and help to hold, preserve and share the memories of fallen service members,” according to the organization’s website. Its accompanying Tribute Stones are living memorials honoring and raising awareness of fallen service members. Major David J. Cote USMCR, founder of the Summit Project, says “The stones and stories of our fallen heroes have been carried and shared on Katahdin, Kilmanjaro, Everest, Denali, and within parades, marathons, and marches across Maine and the U.S.”
The Summit Project Honor Case display will be located in the foyer between the Michael Klahr Center and the Katz Library for two months. According to Amy Line, Director of Military and Veterans’ Services, “The UMA Veteran Academic Center is proud to stand the watch for the Honor Case. The Summit Project board/staff will be at the ribbon cutting along with several Gold Star families.” For more information about the event or to request a reasonable accommodation, contact Amy Line, amy.line@maine.edu; 207-621-3215.

While some of the stories depict the lives and accomplishments of individuals whose names are familiar to us, many of the passages recognize the achievements of women whose names we may not have otherwise known, so this is a great learning opportunity.

Speaker Series: Critical Disability Visibility
Speaker Series: Critical Disability Visibility
March 23, 2023 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
HaileeYoshizaki-Gibbons, Hiram College
“I Am Going Home!”: Abolitionist and Freedom-MakingPractices in Dementia Units of Nursing Homes”
Zoom link: https://maine.zoom.us/j/82632958985
This presentation analyzes how temporality influencesthe care relationships between old women with dementia and the immigrant womenof color employed to care for them in dementia units of nursing homes. Yoshizaki-Gibbonsargues that old women with dementia and immigrant women of color care workers areengaged in freedom-making and abolitionist practices that “rage against themachine” by resisting and unsettling the dominant temporalities that constrainor restrict care. Specifically, the care dyad rejects a politics of isolationand disposability, which are key to carceral systems, by giving time to andmaking time for one another. These gifts of time represent a divestment frominstitutional and state power and control, and an investment in relationships,care, and community.
Dr.Hailee Yoshizaki-Gibbons is an assistant professor inbiomedical humanities. She received her Ph.D. in disability studies with aconcentration in gender and women’s studies from the University of Illinois atChicago. Yoshizaki-Gibbons’s research employs an intersectional lens to examinethe ways gender, race, class and immigration status mediate the lives of oldand disabled people and those who care for them. As a scholar activist,Yoshizaki-Gibbons advocates for greater inclusion of old and disabled people,particularly those with dementia, in society.

Career Workshop: Micro-Credentials - What Are They?
Career Workshop: Micro-Credentials - What Are They?
March 27, 2023 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Register for this workshop
The world is changing fast and, today more than ever, traditional modes of assessment fail to capture the learning that happens everywhere and at every age. Digital badges are a powerful new tool for identifying and validating your range of skills, knowledge, accomplishments, and competencies.
The University of Maine System (UMS) offers professional development opportunities that result in a verified micro-credential for those who want to update their skillset. A fully stacked micro-credential badge indicates that you have successfully completed a high-quality and rigorous training and were able to demonstrate the skills you developed in a work-based setting. Micro-credentials prove to your employer that you have skills needed in today’s workplace.
This session will help you:
- Explain the purpose and value of micro-credentials.
- Learn about the micro-credential offerings within the University of Maine System.
- Set yourself apart from others in the field.
Questions? Contact Haley Brown, Student Services Coordinator
