I did my first semester of college at a large state school in Massachusetts. During my first semester, I felt lost. It was a very big school, and I felt like I was being treated like a number. I didn鈥檛 feel personally connected to my professors. No one really knew my name. After the first month or so, I knew it wasn鈥檛 the right fit for me, so I started looking at other schools. I had always known of 91直播视频because I grew up vacationing in Old Orchard Beach with my family.
91直播视频felt comfortable and there is so much opportunity for global exploration and experience. Coming back after time away, professional staff and fellow students are like, 鈥淥h my gosh, we missed you.鈥 I don鈥檛 know any other college that welcomes you in like that. 91直播视频embodies what I really want out of a school. It makes me my best self in every way possible. Also, I am able to be an athlete here and balance it with my academics, fieldwork, and research. I feel so well-rounded from my experience already. I am really grateful for my 91直播视频community.
At UNE I always feel seen and heard, and I have never been spoken down to here because I am a student, because I am young, because I am female, or for any other reason. Even as a student athlete here, I have always been treated with so much respect, love, and kindness. 91直播视频is a place full of people with passion for what they are doing. I am inspired by this place and its people.
I love the education program. All of the professors are amazing, and everyone has their own kind of niche, which is really cool. I've had classes with all of the professors and my [academic advisor]. My advisor is all about special education and innovation in the way of different kinds of learners. She has taught me a lot about adapting to students鈥 different learning needs.
Another of my professors is all about technology, innovation, and global studies. She has taught me a lot about education here in the U.S. versus other parts of the world. Then another is such a humanitarian. She cares so much about people, equity, and welcoming different kinds of cultures.
It鈥檚 so interesting to get diverse perspectives from my different professors.

Agreements
The 91直播视频 has made a strategic decision to develop a global outreach beyond routine faculty-led travel courses or using the services of third-party providers. We don't hold empty agreements with other universities or institutions; the agreements we have signed in Spain and Morocco involve real partnerships, such as investing in outfitting new labs, developing exchange programs in health care professions, and sharing resources and faculty.
Lecture Series
The Center for Global Humanities at the 91直播视频 is dedicated to exploring the human condition in the 21st century. Lectures are held on UNE's Portland Campus for the Health Sciences and are streamed live on the internet. All events are free and open to the public.
