The University of Maine at Farmington is inviting the public to a series of UMF Public Forum events on the UMF campus during the spring 2024 semester. These thematic panel discussions explore creative and academic topics while engaging perspectives from UMF faculty, students and members of the Farmington community.
The first UMF Public Forum event will be An Evening of Poetry, featuring poets and faculty members Kristen Case and Jeffrey Thomson; poet, artist and designer meg willing; and students Autumn Koors Foltz and Michaela Terlizzi. This free event is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 24, in the Performance Space in the UMF Emery Community Arts Center on Academy Street.
Upcoming Public Forum events will include discussions on Artificial Intelligence on Feb. 7, and Changing How We Live on Earth: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Sustainability on March 20.
“We are excited to invite community members to these unique and thought provoking presentations. Maine’s public universities provide a valuable window into the world around us. The mix of faculty, students, and local artists, educators and activists contribute to our Public Forum and capture the richness of the UMF and greater Farmington community,” said Joseph McDonnell, UMF president, according to a UMF news release.
