The University of New England is grateful for the donors — including UNE alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends of UNE — whose philanthropic support have built critical infrastructure, enhanced scholarship support, expanded internship opportunities across colleges, supported global learning experiences, and improved access to meaningful student-faculty research.

Our donors tell us every day how passionate they are about supporting UNE and we're excited to share their excitement with you.

Alumni

When I heard about the scholarship, I thought it was a great idea. The idea of helping out a current student seemed like a fitting way to live up to the values of St. Francis College, and a wonderful way to carry on the St. Francis College legacy.

George Edward Newton Jr., 1968

When I think about philanthropy, I think about phenomenal UNE student’s that can benefit from our support, and that is what the St. Francis College Class of 1968 Memorial Scholarship will do.

Joe Valenza, 1968

The main impetus for my involvement was to carry on the legacy of St. Francis College, to epitomize the core values of St. Francis College, and to connect the legacy of past students to the students of today.

Wesley Kenyon, 1968

Faculty

I think helping them both in the classroom and by sponsoring a white coat, is a fantastic way to pay it forward, as well as celebrate and inspire our students.

Dr. Rachel Naida, 2013

Staff

It's much easier for me to make a gift as staff because I have my gift deducted directly from my paycheck. It's not huge, but it does add up.

Friends of UNE

UNE stood out to me for [its] progressive curriculum and extraordinary management team. I have no doubt it will be an excellent custodian of Ram Island.
