Join us in the nation wide honoring of fallen veterans

Wreaths across America day is coming up this Saturday, December 14th! We will be helping to lay wreaths at Woodbine Cemetery in Ellsworth right across from Momo's, so whether you want to show support or just need a reason to grab some cheesecake, we would love for you to stop by.

If you are interested in helping out you can meet us at the Ellsworth Center at 11:30am, we will take a photo in some new UMA beanies and afterwards we'll drive to Woodbine Cemetery. We know that finals week is busy but we hope to see you there to honor our Hancock heroes!

As you look through a new semesters worth of courses offered here at UMA don't forget the wonderful opportunity that is in person class at the Ellsworth Center!

We are expanding our offerings this semester with 3-D Design (ART 113), Introduction to Recreation and Wellness (REC 112),  Oral Communication of Literature (COM/DRA 106) and College Writing (ENG 101)

We are once again asking for some help in granting holiday wishes for some of our students' children! All you have to do to get involved is to come to the Ellsworth Center and choose a tag from our tree!

The gifts should cost no more than $25 and should be brought back into the Center before Friday, December 20th. Please feel free to email if you have any questions.

Feel free to use it whenever the center is open, equipped with a treadmill, stationary bike, bench, full range of dumbbells, and more.

The Ellsworth Center will be closed all day on December 24^th and 25^th

We hope that everyone enjoys the break, see you all at the start of the Spring semester!
