Do you know a teen, or a group of teens, who go above and beyond for those in their community?  So many teens are doing good deeds all over the state, and we would like to take a moment to acknowledge the good work that they do.  Maybe it is a club at school that gets them involved, or perhaps they volunteer through an organization, if you know a deserving teen in your area please contact us as we are accepting nominations.  There is no deadline, we accept nominations year-round.  Each teen selected as one of our Teens Who Care will receive a $2000 scholarship to the college of their choice; where as the group/club of teens selected will receive $2000 to support a non-profit of their choice.

Unity College will hold its commencement exercises on Saturday, May 12 at 2 p.m. in Tozier Gymnasium on the campus located at 90 Quaker Hill Road in Unity, Maine.

Tickets are required for admission and may be obtained from Unity College Event and Summer Programs Coordinator Kate Grenier at (207) 948-9121, or by e-mail at kgrenier@unity.edu.

The theme of commencement, Connecting with the Environment, was chosen by members of the graduating class.  This theme serves as the basis for all presentations and awards given during commencement exercises.  As an environmental college all majors have a strong connection to the environment, a fact that informed the choice of theme.

For the third year in a row, Unity College has been named to the President’s Community Service Honor Roll, awarded by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS).  Unity College joins fourteen other colleges across the United States that were named honor roll finalists.  Unity’s distinction as an honor roll finalist placed it in the highest award category for a college from Maine.

Within the honor roll finalist category Unity College was commended for general community service, which considers the scope and quality of an institution’s community service, service-learning, and civic engagement programs.

Community service is an important part of the Unity College culture and curriculum.
