<\/a>UMPI’s UTimes club!<\/p><\/div>\n
Have you ever considered writing for a newspaper but not known where to start? At UMPI, University Times is the go-to for this! The club, advised by Dr. Lowman, meets every Tuesday at 1 p.m. in Pullen 116. In their weekly meetings, staff writers are brought up to speed with work going on behind the scenes by the club\u2019s editor. There are many laughs and friendly smiles, as the atmosphere is laidback. Whether you are nervous or simply shy, the U Times\u2019 door is always open.<\/p>\n
Not many people on campus even know that UMPI has a school newspaper. If you\u2019re reading this and are thinking about your own interest in writing, we have a staff who would love to meet you! Even if you just drop in and find out that you don\u2019t really think it will be a fit, maybe you\u2019ll meet a new friend.<\/p>\n
First year student Kylee Mejia (Presque Isle) is an undecided major. After her friends encouraged her to join U Times iends, she took the offer. \u201cWhile attending my first U Times meeting, I felt the sense of welcoming and especially by Dr. J,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was like walking into a room full of people I already knew.\u201d Mejia went on to boast about the encouragement she received on her first piece. \u201cLike, when I thought the first piece I wrote wasn\u2019t actually very good,\u201d Mejia recalled. \u201cDr. J actually said she liked it. It makes you feel good to be a writer for the school newspaper.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not convinced you should check out a U Times meeting yet? \u201cFor someone on the fence about joining, join,\u201d Mejia said. \u201cI didn\u2019t think I would like it, but I have ended up actually really liking being a part of the UTimes. Even if you don\u2019t think you\u2019re capable of writing an article, you can. All it takes are simple sentences. This has taken me out of my comfort zone, and I am so happy I joined.\u201d<\/p>\n
U Times meets every Tuesday at 1 p.m. in Pullen 116. For more information or questions about how or where to join, contact the UTimes editor, Abi Davis, at abigail.l.davis1@maine.edu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
