Russell Scholars at USM

Students Discuss outside Woodward Hall
"I met such a wonderful bunch of people so quickly. I really enjoy the classes; they're small, close-knit, and comfortable. RSP has made my first year at college unforgettable."

The Russell Scholars Program is the most exciting learning community at USM. Russell Scholars attend small classes together, taught by their own faculty, in addition to their regular major courses of study. Above all, students can make friends quickly; easily meet with their professors; and feel at home in a small community within USM.

"I have enjoyed being a Russell Scholar because it has allowed me to meet people from diverse backgrounds and interests in a common setting, and to maintain those friendships over the years at USM. It has been a fun way to experience college."
