Husson University

Maine Media Camp was a blast! This week, we welcomed high school students from across New England to campus for an immersive week exploring the world of media and communications.

Throughout the week, students participated in hands-on sessions covering video production, audio engineering, photography, graphic and visual design, marketing extended reality and more. They also had the opportunity to hear from Husson alumni who shared their experiences and insights from their careers in the industry.

We loved seeing these students explore their creativity, gain new skills and get a glimpse of what a future in media and communications could look like. Thank you to everyone who helped make this week such a great experience!

Welcome to Husson University, Mitchell Scholars! Six of Husson’s newest Mitchell Scholars attended the Mitchell Institute’s Welcome Celebration on Saturday, where they met fellow scholars, the full Mitchell Institute team and Husson’s Vice President for Student Experience Chris Grotton.

What a wonderful opportunity for these exceptional students! We cannot wait to welcome them to campus in a few weeks.

Elizabeth Bland, DBA, an assistant professor in the College of Business, is this year’s recipient of the Global Scholars Program Award.

This initiative is designed to support faculty scholarship, curriculum development, travel and research activities that bring global perspectives into the classroom.

Dr. Bland incorporates other cultures into her teaching in a variety of ways, including leading a student program in Japan that explored the country through both business and language perspectives. Her research on the K-pop industry has also taken her to international conferences in Israel, South Korea and, most recently, Italy, where she has shared her work with scholars from around the world.

Congratulations, Dr. Bland!

This week, Husson University hosted the Girls Who Code Summer Camp on campus, presented by Educate Maine and Project Login

Throughout the camp, middle and high school students explored technology through hands-on activities, collaborated with peers and developed coding projects of their choice.

Students also had the opportunity to learn from industry professionals. Representatives from Systems Engineering visited to provide guidance and answer questions as campers worked on their projects. Additionally, Bangor Savings Bank led a discussion on building confidence, developing a personal brand and navigating career paths in technology.

Husson University is proud to host summer camps that provide meaningful learning opportunities for the community. By connecting local students with hands-on experiences and industry professionals, programs like Girls Who Code help inspire the next generation of leaders in Maine.

We are less than 30 days away from Welcome Weekend! 🗓️ We can't wait to welcome our new and returning students to campus and kick off another incredible year together.

We couldn’t have asked for a better evening to come together and celebrate the Husson community at our Annual Because of You Awards and Recognition Dinner.

Alumni, donors, faculty and staff and members of the Board of Trustees gathered tonight to celebrate the individuals whose generosity and dedication continue to strengthen Husson University and create opportunities for our students.

Thank you to the Husson Dining Team for preparing a delicious meal and offering a variety of options for everyone to enjoy. We are fortunate to have such a talented and dedicated team on our campus.

We are grateful to everyone who joined us and for your continued support. You are what makes Husson so special!
