Early College for ME :: Feedback from Schools

Feedback from Schools

“[The ECforME Regional Director is organized and follows through with every single detail. I love partnering with her on this important project that focuses on helping (mostly) first-generation college students explore postsecondary options in Maine's Community College System. Early College for ME is one of the most enjoyable responsibilities I have as a guidance counselor. The ECforME mission and the support given to ECforME students and families are exactly what is needed in Maine schools today.”

“Helpful, Caring, Knowledgeable, Fun, Enthusiastic!!!!! [The Regional Director] is a tremendous asset to ECforME and to the students at CHS! I love working with her!”

:: Judy Bougie,
Student Services, Caribou Regional Technology Center

“[The Regional Director] is excellent. He's student-focused, organized, and timely. He communicates well with students and the guidance office. [He] and the ECforME program have made a direct and positive impact on my students' decisions to pursue post-secondary education and apply for financial aid. His contact with students once they are enrolled is also critical for a smooth transition to college, and I believe, helps to retain student enrollment from semester to semester.... ECforME is a wonderful opportunity for students to aspire and achieve beyond their expectations.”
