“Jim Page’s tenure as Chancellor of the University of Maine System has brought about tremendous progress.  Delivering a high quality, affordable education to students has always been Jim’s number one priority.  In particular, he led the “One University” initiative to transition the seven campuses to one system that delivers education to students more effectively and efficiently.  He deserves credit and praise for his visionary leadership during a period of challenging demographics and economic constraints.
