Secure Your Future as a Prestigious Kiest Morgan Scholar
Ten years ago, when Thomas College launched its three-year bachelor’s degree program within the H. Allen Ryan School of Business, the Kiest-Morgan Scholar program was one of the first programs of its kind in the country, and is available to newly entering, first-time undergraduates with a qualifying GPA.
Since then, Thomas College has expanded the three-year option to nearly all academic programs and added a +1 (one year) graduate program offering.
Thomas is one of only a handful of institutions in the country with this degree program and is the
only one of its kind
in Maine.

AI and The Bee
Vol. II, Issue 3
Last month you might have seen reporting about the Maine State Spelling Bee, the contest that determines which Maine student will represent our fine state at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, DC. Every year, on the third Saturday in March, the top spellers from each of Maine’s sixteen counties gather to compete for the state’s top spelling honor and a trip to the national bee. For these sixteen 5th-8th graders, the stakes (and the anxiety) could not be higher.
For more than fifteen years, I have pronounced the words at the Maine State Spelling Bee. This has been one of the great, unexpected joys of my career and one of a limited number of privileges that come with having earned a Ph.D. in classical studies. If you are curious, this year’s winning word was “stratosphere,” a word formed from both ancient Greek and Latin roots.
