The Greater Good is a podcast devoted to complex and emerging issues in law, business, and policy. In each episode, we explore how these three fields contribute to the greater good of the state of Maine and the nation as a whole. Beginning in Summer 2020, we will pivot slightly to a hybrid webinar/podcast format, with an initial focus on the COVID-19 pandemic. The Greater Good is produced by the University of Maine Graduate and Professional Center, a consortium of graduate programs that prepares current and future leaders to solve our state and our nation’s most pressing challenges.
Hosted by Caroline (Carrie) Wilshusen is the Associate Dean for Admissions at the University of Maine School of Law in Portland, Maine. She graduated with honors from Maine Law in 2007. After serving as a law clerk, Carrie entered private practice working with at-risk children and adolescents as well as serving as executive coordinator for Maine’s Access to Justice Commission. She returned to Maine Law in her current role in 2014.
Presented in collaboration with the University of Maine School of Law, the University of Southern Maine, the Muskie School of Public Service, the Cutler Institute, the University of Maine Graduate School of Business, and WMPG 90.9
