Synopsis
Compilation of interviews with University of Maine retirees Marian Dressler, Alfred Bushway, and Kristin Langellier. In this interview, the All Maine Women Class of 2025 Historian Nicole Cobb asked the following questions:
1. Please share your story of joining the University of Maine community.
2. "What is one meaningful memory or connection you’ve made during your time at UMaine—whether with a student, class, or community member—and how does that experience reflect what makes UMaine special to you?"
3. Looking back, what experiences here challenged you the most — and how did they change you?
4. When did you feel your impact at UMaine, and what does leaving a legacy here mean to you?
5. If you could speak to students or young professionals at a pivotal moment in their journey, what would you say?
6. What major changes have you experienced since you started being at UMaine, and were they positive changes?’
7. Is there anything else you want to share about your experience at UMaine that has not been covered? (Last question)
