Summer Courses and Symposiums
Refresh your mind and spirit
Give yourself credit — lakeside!
Educational magic happens here in summer’s relaxed atmosphere.
Along with that, some extras make it even more special: delicious,
fresh and natural food (did we mention the lobster?), walking
trails nearby to walk off the homemade pie, free trips to L.L. Bean,
lounging by the lakeside, and our bistro night to socialize.
Mark your calendar and register now. Take advantage of a
unique chance to develop your professional skills, as well as establish
valuable and long-lasting relationships with faculty and fellow
students. And don’t forget that lobster!
