Giving Opportunities

With your support, Unity College will grow, focusing on finding new audiences — those we know well, those we are just introducing ourselves to, and those we haven’t met yet — where they are, and offer services including programs, experiences, or products that fit their needs. To support them, Unity’s physical presence has expanded to include sites in Moose River, Pineland in New Gloucester, Portland, Thorndike, and Unity, while Distance Education has given us global reach through its online offerings. Unity College will continue graduating environmental stewards of the 21st century and innovating from a position of strength.
