Luke Miller, McGillicuddy Humanities Center Fellow
“The McGillicuddy Humanities Center is the physical manifestation of intellectual support for the bright minds on this campus. Luckily for me, this support means I can explore the problems I see in the world and uncover how we, as academics, can affect social change and help others.”
– Luke Miller, History and Economics double major
McGillicuddy Humanities Center Fellow
As one of this year’s four new fellows at the McGillicuddy Humanities Center, Luke Miller will work toward affecting change by identifying: “How Government Policy Affects the Homeless Population In Maine: From Vietnam to Today.” Miller will work with Dr. Brian Pitman from the Department of Sociology. Since spring 2018, students have been selected every semester as fellows at the McGillicuddy Humanities Center, which is housed in South Stevens Hall.
The McGillicuddy fellows’ research is underwritten entirely by the Clement and Linda McGillicuddy Humanities Center Fund. In turn, the fund is supported completely by the McGillicuddys and other like-minded, philanthropic individuals who wish to support the work done at the Center. In recent years, new funds have been created by additional alumni, which will be awarded to fellows on an annual basis. This is another example of how philanthropy creates many valuable opportunities for UMaine students.
