MWWC Welcomes New Endowment

The Maine Women Writers Collection welcomes a new endowment established by Alice Savage.

A native of Portland, Maine, Westbrook Junior College afforded Alice M. Savage, MD, PhD, FACP, ’55 the opportunity to pursue higher education. Throughout her long career in teaching, medicine, and Health Administration (Department of Veteran Affairs), her commitment and affection for Westbrook/UNE has been notable. Her endowed scholarships are enabling students to follow their dreams and contribute to society, 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.

The fund helps ensure the growth and longevity of this inspirational collection and its continued importance to scholarly endeavors on the lives and influence of Maine women writers. The university has honored her with the Tower Award, membership in the Morton Society, and election to the UNE Board of Trustees.
