Blog Purpose

I have created this blog today to have a place to talk about activities going on on the University of Maine Campus. I will use this blog to talk about different events that will be going on and also to talk about events that have already gone on and the success of those events. This will be a great way for students at UMaine to have an informal way to find out what is going on on campus.
