Gorham campus tour and information session

Get to know our Gorham campus with an informational 30-minute presentation from an Admissions counselor followed by a 75-minute guided walking tour with a USM Ambassador — one of our student tour guides. Choose a weekday during our spring semester, starting at 10:00 a.m.

Our residence halls and Division III Athletics facilities are located on our Gorham campus.

The University of Maine System (UMS) is committed to the safety of our visitors, students, faculty, and staff. At this time, face coverings are optional — both indoors and outdoors. We ask that you bring your own face covering (if you want one) and a water bottle. Water bottle refill stations are available and accessible on campus.

Before traveling to campus, make sure to review the UMS COVID-19 policy and the State of Maine travel and visitor guidelines.

You must register to attend an in-person, on-campus tour. Walk-in tours are not available at this time. We also offer self-guided campus tours.

Meet your tour guides

Our USM Ambassadors will be your tour guides. Like our student body, these student ambassadors range from energetic first-year students to accomplished graduating seniors; from transfer students to working adults. These students bring with them their own unique stories, experiences, and skills to help you find yourself here.

In the event of inclement weather, the University may close. Scheduled events and tours may be canceled as a result. Find out more.
