🤠✨ TO INFINITY… AND A GREAT YEAR AHEAD! 🚀

Over this past weekend, the University of New England Harold Alfond Forum
welcomed back more than 20 of UNE’s finest, for our Annual Forum Student Building Manager Training - Toy Story style! 🧸⭐️

We kicked things off with CliftonStrengths, discovering the unique talents and strengths that each member brings to our team. 💪 Saturday was all about getting to know the ins, outs, tips, tricks, and everything in between at the Forum. We also spent time learning about the story and legacy of the amazing Harold Alfond. To finish on Sunday, we slowed things down with an amazing Sound Bath by - the perfect way to let a weekend full of learning, connection, and teamwork soak in. ✨

And as our HAFSBM alumni know… it wouldn’t be a Forum training weekend without LOTS of fun, games, laughs, and an EPIC scavenger hunt! 🔎🪩

Because a team that plays together, stays together - this crew is ready to work together to infinity and beyond to keep the Forum running smoothly from ☀️ up to ☀️ down all year long!

There was WAY too much fun, learning, and team bonding to fit into one post, so keep an eye on our Stories for more highlights from the weekend! 👀📲

Here’s to an incredible year, team! 💙💛🚀

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.

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
