Student/Alumni Profiles

Mandy Rancourt '11

"The classes are interesting and unique, while the professors are a diverse group of people with different teaching styles, which prevents boredom. The professors are also nice, understanding and care about students’ progress." read more

Chelsea Amaio '10

"I affectionately called UNE my “home away from home” as professors easily become mentors and go above and beyond their required class instruction. From setting up outside of class help sessions, to planning weekend field trips based on the topics studied in class, learning is more than memorizing information from books." read more

Bryan Chevarie '08

"The business professors do an outstanding job of getting involved with your studies and want you to succeed. They answer any questions you have, whether it is during class, in an e-mail, or by setting up an appointment to meet with them." read more

Renee Bissonnette '08

"I like UNE's small campus, which allows for close friendships and small class sizes. The location of UNE is absolutely beautiful. The teachers in the Business Administration Department are all very nice and care about their students' learning." read more

Marissa Hesketh '08

"I was also involved in varsity athletics at school. I played for the women's basketball team. One of the main reasons I chose this school was because it was a Division III school where there was a major focus on academics. I can work my classes around basketball and still have time to finish homework." read more

Brandy Egan '07

"UNE is a great place; the professors are excellent and readily available when not instructing classes, the students are diverse and interesting, and the administration truly cares about each student and their success. Overall, UNE is a student support-based school." read more

Chad Howe '99

"UNE provided a wonderful setting for studying the environment. Trips (usually walks) to the beach, the local forest or the Biddeford pool estuary for real-time examples of class subjects were not uncommon. I had many a class outside on the lawn when weather permitted." read more

Michael D'Apice '12

"I am completing an internship with the non-profit Spurwink Organization, in which I am working for their marketing department creating a video database of all of their sponsored locations. This internship opportunity has given me the chance to get out on the road, and practice the entire video production process from start to finish ..." read more

Angel Jarmusz '11

"Being a four year member of the women’s lacrosse team was my most memorable experience at UNE.... The life skills I learned, such as teamwork and time management, led to my acceptance into law school and successes in other areas." read more

Chelsey Meszaros '11

"The location of UNE is perfect for me. I like that UNE is not located directly in a big city, but one is only a short drive away. Portland has much to do such as shopping and places to eat." read more

Katie Diggins '10

"My four years at UNE were the best four years of my life! I was a four-year member of the Women's basketball team. My senior year we won The Common Wealth Coast Confrence Championship and got a bid to play in the NCAA D3 Basketball Tournament." read more

Sheena Pope '09

"As a sport management major, I feel that the best thing about being at UNE is the small, personal class sizes. It makes it much easier to have discussions in class, and it gives you the chance to ask more questions." read more

Eric Cressey '03

"The highlight of my UNE education was taking Gross Anatomy. Very few college students have the opportunity to study cadaveric tissue; UNE does an outstanding job, not only in making sure this opportunity is present for its students, but also by ensuring that there are excellent professors to oversee the courses in the gross anatomy lab." read more
