Between annual appeals\, communications\, virtual event planning and fundraising\, you’re overwhelmed. And now you’ve been tasked with writing a grant and you don’t know where to start. Our online grant writing program can help! \nThis interactive online professional development program will teach you the basics of seeing a grant through a full cycle—from inception to completion. You’ll learn how to get your organization ready to apply for grants\, where to find funders and funding opportunities\, how to write the components of a grant and how to submit a successful application that has all the information funders want to see. \nUsing case studies\, this program will focus on real-world grant applications. Comprehensive checklists and worksheets will guide you through every step of planning\, researching\, applying to and managing a grant—without missing a thing! You’ll also develop language specific to your organization that answers common grant questions. \nThe only thing you won’t learn in this program is how to celebrate securing a grant proposal. We figure you’ve got that one covered. 🙂 \nVisit our website for more information:\nhttps://dll.umaine.edu/grant-writing/ URL:/calendar/event/grant-writing-essentials-9/2026-10-27/ LOCATION:ME CATEGORIES:Conferences & Workshops,Lectures & Seminars,Online Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261027T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261027T150000 DTSTAMP:20260929T141716Z CREATED:20260928T004611Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260929T141716Z UID:10014961-1793091600-1793113200@umaine.edu SUMMARY:Future Music Educator Day 2026 DESCRIPTION:An opportunity for high school students to experience a “day in the life” of a music education major at the University of Maine: attend classes\, talk to undergradates\, sing & play\, learn about auditions! \nFree; registration required. \nLunch included. \nOptional individual mini-lesson on your instrument with a 91 faculty member. \nSchedule (tentative)\n8:45 – 9 a.m. Registration in Minsky Receital Hall Lobby\nFollowed by short parent/guardian info session and tour \n9:00 a.m. Overview\nIntroduction to each other and the music education degree program \n9:30 a.m. MUE 210 Intro to Music Education\nParticipate in this sophomore level course \n10:15 a.m. Conducting Session\nLearn basic conducting gestures \n11:00 a.m. MUE 320 Elementary General Music Methods\nParticipate in this junior level course \n11:30 a.m. Eat lunch in the Union (provided)\nLunch is on us!

These numbers — the values of the Ramanujan tau-function — have been the guiding force for several themes in number theory and still pose simple\, open problems today. This talk\, delivered by visiting Libra Professor Eknath Ghate\, will be a relaxed introduction to these numbers. \n91 the Speaker: Professor Ghate is a Senior Professor at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai\, India. He has spent his career chasing the deep and still-mysterious links between modular forms and Galois representations. In 2013 he received the Bhatnagar Prize\, India’s highest science honor. \nThis event will take place in Hill Auditorium in Barrows Hall. It is free and open to the public.
