University of Maine at Augusta recognizes Sweetser leader with alumni award

The University of Maine at Augusta recognized our Senior Director of Public Relations & Advancement Justin Chenette with a Distinguished Alumni Award.

UMA’s Provost Joseph Szakas and UMA’s Vice President of Advancement & Alumni Relations Erin Fogg presented Justin with the award at their commencement ceremony.

UMA described the award as ‘…a celebration of those who inspire others through their leadership, who use their talents to serve their communities, and who truly embody UMA’s mission in action. This year’s honorees remind us that success isn’t just about what you achieve—it’s about how you lift others along the way.’

Justin was nominated by UMA’s Saco Center for his work in the communications field, community service, and his efforts with Sweetser in helping to reduce mental health stigma through the media. He is a graduate of UMA’s Post-Baccalaureate in Public Administration program.
