Share Your Story

Maybe you took a class at UMaine or the Hutchinson Center five years ago. Last semester. Ten years ago. No matter when you participated, we would love to hear your story and share it with our diverse community (via our website, social media, and/or email list).

Thank you for sharing your story!

Storytelling Tips

Use descriptive details (vivid colors, smells, physical sensations)
Sharing a brief insightful moment can be more powerful than a general summary
Keep it short

In case of unstable internet connections, you may want to write out your responses in a separate document and paste them into this form when you’re ready. That way you won’t lose anything if your connection gets interrupted.

If you want to share your story with our staff but not with the wide world, please let us know in the comments section.
