The University of Maine at Augusta is committed to providing affordable access to a university education, and helping students manage the growing costs of a college education, according to UMA, in a news release. Through the Pine Tree State Pledge, eligible students will not pay any out-of-pocket expenses for tuition and mandatory fees.
The program is available to qualified and Pell eligible, first year full-time students and transfer full-time and part-time students.

Degree completion can pave the way for Maine’s workforce to seek promotions, consider career changes, or obtain higher salaries.

All people of good conscience who call this country home, or whoâve come here in search of the fruits of its liberties, were surely shocked by yesterdayâs events in Washington, D.C.
For the first time in modern history, a lawless mob attacked our nationâs Capitol building to thwart our representatives from confirming a lawful election to peacefully transfer the U.S. presidency from one citizen to another, as our Constitution requires. Equally horrific was the sight of a flag of a racist past waved in the present, carried by the mob through our halls of government.
Gosse caps decade of research into troublesome triclosan
University of Maine toxicologist Julie Gosse spent a decade unearthing the medical harm posed by the germ-fighting agent triclosan (TCS).
Manufacturers had included the synthetic chemical in soap, toothpaste, facial cleansers, sanitizer and other common products since the 1970s, when no research delved into its health and toxicological effects. Products containing the antimicrobial agent filled store shelves. By the time Gosse and her students began investigating it, 75% of Americans were exposed to it, according to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Various studies in the past 10 years, however, have revealed problems with TCS, that it weakens disease resistance and interferes with various bodily functions. Research led and overseen by Gosse, an associate professor of biochemistry, found TCS inhibits immune cells, particularly T and mast cells, and damages mitochondria. Investigations from other toxicolog
