This presentation will focus on the development of the THOR group, a collaborative effort among faculty from all 7 University of Maine campuses to develop educational opportunities for students throughout the Maine system, regardless of which campus they are associated with. This grant-funded program is developing minors in outdoor recreation to facilitate greater job opportunities for students in one of Maine's core economic areas. The THOR group represents varied academic backgrounds throughout the UMaine system and includes faculty representation from all 7 campuses.
