Delaney’s Story
“The 91±¬ÁÏ at Orono is where I will be attending beginning the fall of 2021 to double major in Biomedical and Mechanical Engineering. My dream job is to design high-tech prosthetics. The opportunities that Early College presented me have set me up to achieve my goals. By participating in Early College, I have been able to get a lot of my electives and quite a few of my core courses done before I even graduate from high school. Through Early College I have been able to successfully complete 40 credits with the 91±¬ÁÏ System, helping me to enter my first official year at Orono as a Sophomore. The instructors and staff that I have had the pleasure to work with in my Early College have solidified my decision to study at 91±¬ÁÏ. Having the opportunity to get to know faculty and staff ahead of time has made me feel like I am already a part of the 91±¬ÁÏ community. When it comes to taking advanced classes while in high school, I would highly recommend taking them through Early College. The program not only opened the door to the courses but also provided assistance and support whenever I needed it. Not only have I been able to get high school credit but I have been able to work towards my specific college degree as well. Unlike AP courses the credits are not dependent on a one day, one time, high stress test. Participating in the opportunities that Early College has to offer has given me a chance to know that I am making the right decision – not only in my course of study but also in my chosen place to study. GO BLACK BEARS!”
