University of Maine Foundation Member Edie McVay King ’67 had the chance to meet current recipients of her Edie McVay King Scholarship at a recent scholarship reception hosted by the University of Maine Department of Molecular and Biomedical Sciences at Buchanan Alumni House.

King, who graduated from UMaine in 1967 with a degree in bacteriology, created the endowed scholarship fund specifically for students with a major in her field. Her gift is awarded annually to UMaine students, supporting new professionals in her area of expertise.
