Mini Skellsworth had an absolute blast on his recent field trip with Center Director Lori Googins! His travels took him to the UMA S**o Center and the Academic and Career Advising office on the Augusta Campus.

Along with meeting wonderful staff, Mini checked out some fantastic campus swag—and developed a serious case of swag envy (he's especially fond of the moose in a canoe!).

A huge thank you to everyone who took time out of their busy day to say hello and make Mini feel so welcome!

After a challenging workout, a study session with friends, and actually getting some work done, Mini Skellsworth needed to refuel!
He decided to take advantage of the free snacks provided by our Student Association. We have a great variety available, ranging from classic granola bars and raisins to seaweed snacks. We also offer coffee, tea, and hot cocoa as well as water through our Brio Filter.
Didn't bring a cup? No problem! We have disposable cups available, or you can use one of the mugs in the cupboard—we just ask that you wash it out before you leave.
Have a suggestion for something you’d like to see in the future? Let us know, and we'll keep it in mind for our next order!
