We see you Jamie DuPont - in addition to the contributions in the classrooms, the labs and on the ice, you also had a huge impact through your work as a Forum Student Building Manager - we will miss your steadfast commitment to UNE.

Congratulations to Jamie DuPont, recipient of the Westbrook College of Health Professions’ Maroon Award! 🎓

The Maroon Award — WCHP’s top honor — is given annually to one undergraduate student on the Biddeford Campus and another on the Portland Campus, and honors students who serve as role models by maintaining high academic standards, superior leadership qualities and collaborative working relationships, while demonstrating service to improve the quality of life for others.

Jamie is the second consecutive UNE student-athlete to receive the honor.

One of the largest senior classes in the Harold Alfond Forum Student Building Manager history is leaving BIG shoes 👟👠🩴👞to fill!

This group is award winning and we cannot wait to watch their journey to Med school, graduate programs and employment! ✈️🩺👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️🥼🗂️💼 👩‍🏫

Being a “HAFSBM” is more than just a job. It’s “employment with a purpose” and this year you staffed one of the busiest buildings on campus, donated $8,500 to Make-A-Wish Maine, hosted a Teddy Bear Toss and donated hundreds of stuffed animals to our friends at MaineHealth in Sanford as well as collected stockings filled with toiletries for the Seeds of Hope Neighborhood Center. To say we are proud is an understatement!

You always have a home at the Forum!

PS: We look forward to seeing our returning and new HAFSBMs in August at training! IYKYK

We crossed the proverbial finish line 🏁🐻 and what a finish it was.

The Harold Alfond Forum Student Building Managers are beyond proud to celebrate the impact of the 10th Annual Teddy Bear Toss - from presenting our check to Make-A-Wish, Maine to fully granting the wish of a Wish Kid, to being honored with the Brendon Batson Award Youth Engagement Award this year, recognizing Maine youths who give substantial time and energy to support Make-A-Wish, Maine and then delivering hundreds of stuffed animals to bring comfort to young patients at MaineHealth of Sanford and Biddeford!

This event was about more than teddy bears - it was about community, compassion, and showing up for kids who deserve the world. Thank you to everyone who donated, cheered, tossed, and supported along the way. 💫

Here’s to 10 years of heart, impact, and tradition - and to many more to come.
🧸💙🐻
