Marvin “Bud” Blumenstock ’78G

Marvin “Bud” Blumenstock, Associate Professor Emeritus of Forestry at the University of Maine, has degrees from Rutgers and Yale and a MBA from the University of Maine. He has spent a lifetime teaching the value of forest resources to the people of Maine. Bud established a number of funds through the University of Maine Foundation for students who are interested in careers in forest resources. One of his funds also benefits students who graduated from Old Town High School who participate in sports programs, particularly swimming.

Bud has been able to give back to others through these various funds because he learned the importance of wise investing early in life. “Never spend more than you earn,” says Bud. “And give back so that you can help people help themselves to get where they want to go in life.”

He remains active in forestry education.
