Residential Life Newsletter
Off to a Wonderful Start to the Year
A look into what has been going on in residential life at Maine Central Institute for the first quarter of the school year.
Greetings from MCI!

It has been a busy fall season here at MCI in residential life. Our boarding students have been busy with weekend dorm activities, athletic games, homecoming activities, arts experiences, sit down dinners, community building activities and lots of fun adventures that Maine has to offer. From our opening boarding orientation activities at a lake in the woods of Maine, through the fall athletic season that brought the excitement of many of our teams making the playoffs and even a football championship, our boarding students have had many opportunities in these first months of school to immerse themselves into the culture of the school and form relationships that they will build on during their time at MCI. This newsletter offers only a sampling of what students have been doing beyond the classroom. We look forward to the return from Thanksgiving break and the rush up to the holiday break in a few weeks. Those weeks will be filled with even more activities, performances, and community celebrations. All of which I will share in my next newsletter!
Happy Holidays!

Sincerely,

Tom Bertrand '90
Dean of Student Life
