President Cushman is delighted to announce that UMA will be instituting “UMA Spirit Fridays” beginning Friday, October 4. This is a variation of “casual Fridays” in which those who would like to dress casually across the university are encouraged to wear UMA-branded apparel.
The UMA Spirit Store on the Augusta campus is offering a 20% discount on UMA branded apparel for faculty, staff, and students from September 30 – October 4.
For all Spirit Fridays in the Fall 2024 semester, the Moose Tracks Cafe on the Augusta campus will offer a free hot coffee if you wear your UMA swag.
Wear UMA Swag and visit the UMA Bangor Fitness Center on Spirit Fridays to get a free phone stand while supplies last.
Whether or not you choose to wear UMA-branded apparel, you can find Spirit Friday guidelines below.
