In addition to the afternoon flight of golf to benefit the Governor's Computer Science Scholarship in the USM School of Applied Science, Engineering, and Technology, this year we've added a morning flight of golf to benefit scholarships in the USM School of Business. When you tee off at The Woodlands Club in Falmouth, Maine, you'll become a part of this wonderful day of "golf with a purpose". Join us for a day of fun, camaraderie, and prizes... and a truly great cause. These scholarships represent part of Wright Express' commitment to supporting instruction in these USM programs at all levels of education and to encouraging enterprising young people to stay in Maine. USM President Richard Pattenaude noted the far-reaching benefits of the scholarships: "Too many of our students face demanding financial and personal challenges that are barriers to their success. The most powerful tool we have to help build the new economy is the support that helps talented students obtain a college education. USM counts on private donations to provide the bulk of the support." Come and be a part of this fun, worthwhile event. Register your players. Better yet, help sponsor the event and get great name recognition. Sign up today to ensure your company's space in the tournament. www.usm.maine.edu/wexgolf.     Wise Laboratory and Department of Environmental Science in the news May 29, 2007: Professor of Applied Medical Science John Wise's research is in the news again from the U.K.'s Guardian to DailyIndia.com.
