Husson to Host 1st Annual Stephen Colvin Lifting Competition

BANGOR, Maine — Husson University athletic department along with the Husson University Football program is pleased to announce the 1st Annual Stephen Colvin Memorial Powerlifting Competition on April 30 2016 inside Newman Gymnasium. 

Stephen Colvin was a Hoosik Falls Central School class of 2011 graduate who believed in himself and believed in those who competed with him on the field. Stephen was also a Husson University student and member of the Husson Eagle Football team. As a captain of the HFCS football team, he brought everyone on the team to the next level because he made them believe in themselves, as he believed in himself. If he could not physically beat his opponent, he would do so with pure drive and determination. If he could not do it alone, he did it with the help of his teammates. Stephen was an example of what a teammate should be, and was loved by all his teammates at HFCS and at Husson University. Stephen lived life to the fullest and wanted those around him to do the same. It is because of that belief, his friends, family and community have come together to make the Stephen W. Forrest Colvin Scholarship Fund a reality.

The Stephen W. Forrest Colvin Scholarship Fund has been set up through his friends, family and community to assist those with dreams of playing college level sports, as Stephen did, can become a reality. There will be one male and one female candidate chosen each year. 


The competition will be held on April 30th at 9 o'clock at Husson University in the Newman Gymnasium. The event is open to all those who wish to participate. The competition will benefit the Stephen W. Forrest Colvin Memorial Scholarship Fund.

The event will consist of three lifts; Squat, Bench, and Deadlift. Competitors will pay a $20 entry fee, and must be present half an hour before their division is scheduled to lift for a weigh-in and review of rules. An official schedule will be released as the events gets closer.

For more information, or to register, email KingCa@husson.edu with the attached registration form. Participants must be registered by April 24th

In celebration of Youth Art Month, UMA is joining Harlow Gallery and Kennebec Valley Art Association to present, the 1st Annual Maine Statewide High School Ceramic Arts Show, an exhibition of ceramic art by students from high schools statewide.  The exhibit will be on display April 9th – 26th at UMA’s Gannett Gallery.

An opening reception will be held on Wednesday, April 9 from 5 to 7 pm.  Maine State First Lady, Ann LePage will be attendance to hand out certificates and awards to participating students.

"The show sprouted out of a need to highlight students ceramic work,” said project organizer, Russell Kahn, an art instructor at Camden Hills Regional High School.  “This will be the first year to get the project off the ground and see great work from high school students in the state of Maine in the clay medium.”

The exhibit is part of an ongoing partnership between Harlow Gallery and UMA to help reinforce the value of teaching art in high schools and to provide high school artists the ability to show their work in a public gallery.

UMA’s Gannett Gallery is located at 331 Water Street in Augusta.  Gallery hours are Wednesdays through Saturdays 12-5pm.
