FARMINGTON — Miles Stevens of Norway has been named a Wilson Scholar at The University of Maine-Farmington.

A senior with an individualized studies major with a concentration in English, Stevens has created a project exploring her Sámi heritage. Stephen Grandchamp, UMF assistant professor of literature and digital humanities, is the faculty sponsor.

The University of Maine at Farmington Michael Wilson Scholars Program has named  seven outstanding student researchers as Wilson Scholars for spring 2022.  Established in 2006, the selective Wilson program directly connects students with faculty mentors to promote the highest level of scholarship as students explore dynamic local, national and international research topics.

This semester’s scholars include: Isabelle King from Yarmouth; Daniela Lilly Rodiles from Farmington; Drew Monteith from York; Emily Moore from Epsom, N.H.; Maxen Ryder from Portland; Nik Shultz from Attleboro, Mass.; and Miles Stevens from Norway.
 
The UMF Wilson Program names student awardees twice a year, including single-semester scholars and year-long fellows. Student researchers are individually sponsored by faculty and supported at every stage of their research. These faculty mentors assist with proposal development, research methodology, project presentation and continuing follow-up on pre-professional and post-graduate opportunities.

Michael Wilson Scholars presented their projects at the university’s Symposium Day, a day-long series of research presentations that spotlighted the scholarly work of students, on April 20.

“Congratulations to this semester’s outstanding scholars. Their in-depth scholarly work and creative projects not only broaden their educational experience but also enrich the student experience campus-wide,” said UMF President Edward Serna.
