Learn about the University of Maine’s School of Policy and International Affairs and Dickinson’s linkage with the program.
On Tuesday, October 25, Dan Churchill (spouse of Dickinson alumna Betty Churchill ’58; 1963 graduate of the University of Maine – refer to this Dickinson article for more information on the Churchills) will be on campus to speak with students about the University of Maine’s School of Policy and International Affairs and Dickinson’s linkage with the program. Per the article linked above: “Supported by the Churchills, the graduate-linkage program has brought 10 qualified Dickinson students (and more each year) to UMaine, where they may complete the M.A. in just 15 months. The Richardson-Churchill SPIA Fellowship Fund at the University of Maine provides tuition assistance. The Churchills also support related fieldwork and learning opportunities at both institutions.”
The University of Maine’s School of Policy and International Affairs offers an MA in Global Policy with concentrations in Environmental Policy, Security and Foreign Policy, Trade and Commerce, and Climate Change. For more information, please refer to the attachment “UMaine SPIA Flyer” and/or visit https://spia.umaine.edu.
