Cotter Honored
I am an unabashed supporter of affirmative action," President Bill Cotter
said to applause at a September gathering in the Portland Museum of Art. "I
devoted the essay in my 1995 president's report to the College to the issue
because I think it is so important."

Bryant, who won the Senior Class Teaching Award in 1994, was named 1996 Maine
Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation. He was among 49 winners of
the honor in 47 states and the District of Columbia and was selected from among
585 faculty members nominated by colleges and universities throughout the
country.Tom Tietenberg (economics) and L. Sandy Maisel (government) are former
recipients of the award.
