The Maine Peace Action Committee, consisting of University of Maine students, faculty and community members, is one of the oldest university peace and justice organizations in the United States. MPAC is concerned with issues of violence, war, inequality and injustice and with educating and acting to bring about a more democratic, equitable, nonviolent, peaceful, just, and sustainable Maine, nation and world. MPAC members not only study examples of violent injustices and the dominant systemic institutions that perpetuate these injustices today. MPAC attempts to challenge injustices through creative nonviolent resistance and to provide constructive positive alternatives necessary for a peace, just and sustainable future. This often includes organizing student, UMaine and local community service projects which confront dominant, hierarchial, power-defined authority by building alternative individual and community empowerment. A unique feature of MPAC at UMaine has been its commitment to a larger theoretical framework for understanding specific issues and struggles focusing on violence, injustice, domination, corporatism, imperialism, racism, sexism, environmental destruction, alienation, and dehumanizing education. Such a broader and deeper understanding allows us to realize how these issues and struggles are interconnected, so that we can support each other and unite for urgently needed change.

On December 14, 1906, eleven men, representing eight of the fraternities, met to form an organization whose purpose would be, "to recognize dedicated service to the University of Maine, to promote campus spirit, to keep an eye on the fraternities, and to discipline freshmen." Today, more than 100 years later, the Senior Skulls continue to be an integral part of the University of Maine, although the purpose and duties of the Skulls have changed to fit the times. For example, in 1911 the Senior Skulls created the Sophomore Owls, whose purpose became the discipline of freshmen.

In 1913, the President of the Skulls called a meeting of representatives from all campus fraternities to form a viable Interfraternity Council. At that time, approval of all student groups was at the discretion of the Senior Skulls.

The Senior Skull Society continued uninterrupted until the end of World War II, when it ceased to exist for 3 years. It was revived in the fall of 1947 and to this day, remains the highest all-inclusive honor society at the University of Maine.

Today's Senior Skulls are pledged to uphold and promote the ideals of Friendship, Leadership, Obligation, Academics and Dignity, as well as the standards and traditions of the University, and work to encourage congenial relationships between students, faculty and alumni. In addition, Senior Skulls also serve as an important liaison between students and the administration. Their service to the student body extends well beyond the group itself; from giving away free refreshments to students waiting in line for various sporting events, to selection of Homecoming Royalty, to a dynamic new initiative, the University of Maine Traditions Project, designed to increase undergraduates' awareness of our alma mater's rich history and varied traditions.

The Senior Skulls were founded in 1906 not only to recognize the top leaders of the incoming senior class, but also to create a group that, through its actions and connections, supports one another and promotes the University of Maine. This was true back then and it remains true today.

The UMaine Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) club seeks to create an opportunity for students of any major to take part in the many aspects of designing a vehicle for an SAE design competition. UMaine SAE's primary goal is to compete in a North American SAE Collegiate Competition where teams across the nation are judged based on their design, cost report, and racing abilities. Currently, the UMaine SAE club is in the design phase of constructing a Baja vehicle for competition. So far, the frame has been designed in SolidWorks and the club is now diving into a weight estimate and determining/designing the suspension system. In order to compete in a Collegiate Competition, UMaine SAE must design a vehicle, acquire funds to create the vehicle, and then contruct the vehicle from the frame up. To accomplish this tremendous challenge, UMaine SAE is comprised of student volunteers who collaborate and learn from each other and from availalbe faculty or mentors. In doing so, members will gain valuable experience applicable to real-world scenarios, giving them a leading edge for employment.

We would like to present to the UMaine population the Tea Appreciation Society. Tea has been around for thousands of years and is enjoyed in a variety of ways by many different cultures. The Eastern style of brewing is known as Gong Fu, which means "making tea with skill." Tea is as much about the drink itself as it is the experience and community associated with it. As tea was popularized in the Western world, the purpose of tea was warped to fit the desires of the consumers with to-go cups of tea lattes, bottled ice teas, and tea bags. The experience has been disconnected from the tea, but in the UMaine Tea Appreciation Society we aim to bring back that sense of community. At our meeting, we plan to make tea Gong Fu and bring into focus the rich history of the various types of tea in a relaxed and social setting. To keep the club a safe space for everyone involved, tea will be served individually and social distancing practices will be observed, but being able to meet in-person would allow us to share our knowledge and appreciate for the craft over cups of tea. We would love to provide an opportunity to allow people to experience Gong Fu, making tea with skill.
