Vision & Mission | University of Maine at Presque Isle

Vision

Transforming lives through educational opportunities for all.

Mission

We inspire learners from near and far, of all ages and career stages, and support their personal journeys toward the future they seek.

Institutional Values

The core philosophies that will drive our employees are captured in a set of institutional values, known collectively as 鈥淭he 91桃色 Way.鈥� These values reflect our culture, guiding our actions and defining how we do business.

The 91桃色 Way is more than a list of values鈥攊t鈥檚 a way of being, working, and learning together. It reflects the culture we intentionally cultivate; one rooted in generosity, curiosity, and care. These values guide every interaction we have鈥攚ith students, colleagues, partners, and our broader community. They are not aspirational鈥攖hey are operational. They describe what we commit to every day and how we hold ourselves accountable to one another.

  • Supportive: We share information and resources generously. We lift as we climb.
  • Ethical: We act with honesty, integrity, and decency. Even when it鈥檚 hard. Especially when it matters.
  • Responsive: We adapt quickly and thoughtfully, responding to challenges with creativity and calm.
  • Visionary: We think ahead. We ask, 鈥渨hat if?鈥� and 鈥渨hy not?鈥� as we imagine a better future.
  • Innovative: We experiment, iterate, and learn from what doesn鈥檛 work as much as from what does.
  • Collaborative: We build bridges. We partner. We know we go farther when we go together.
  • Equitable: We challenge assumptions and actively center dignity, belonging, and justice in everything we do.

Service Promise

Excellence, every day!
