Celebrating the Early Days of the UMaine and American University in Bulgaria Collaboration (AUGB)

On Wednesday, September 13, President Joan Ferrini-Mundy held a welcome reception for President Margee Ensign from the American University in Bulgaria (AUBG) to the University of Maine campus. Since 1991, AUBG has been a partner institution of the University of Maine, working to provide students and faculty with academic opportunities around the world. To help celebrate the event, University Archivist Matthew Revitt exhibited items that showcased the early days of the AUBG collaboration, a unique cooperative between UMaine, the U.S. and Bulgarian Governments, and the Open Society Institute.
