Charles V. Stanhope ’71
Honors College Study Abroad Fellowship Endowment Fund
“I established this fund to celebrate the excellent UMaine undergraduate education I received. I had opportunities in my work-life to travel around the country and the world. Those travel opportunities taught me about the places I visited and I also discovered what made Maine a special place for me. I am very happy that my fund helps UMaine students travel as part of their undergraduate education, something I wasn’t able to do.”

Matt Mangene played on the UMaine hockey team until the spring of 2012 when he signed an entry-level contract with the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers.
