Biographical / Historical
The University of Maine's Division of Lifelong Learning (DLL) was established effective July 1, 1996, under the directorship of Robert (Bob) C. White, who would later be appointed associate provost and dean of the Division. The Division had responsibility for providing leadership in lifelong learning including: formal academic course work; matriculation toward a non-traditional degree (Bachelor of University Studies); and non-degree institutes, seminars, workshops, symposia, and courses.
The director reported to the vice president for academic affairs and the provost. When founded DLL included the following units: Continuing Education (credit and non-credit, including institutes), Summer School, May Term, Winter Session, and Distance Education; the Onward Program, Peace Studies, the Bureau of Labor Education, and the Women’s Resource Center. DLL also oversaw the Bachelor of University Studies Degree and was responsible for the former functions of the Conferences and Institutes unit. DLL would go on to oversee online courses offered by the University of Maine System and be responsible for the UMaine Diversity Leadership Institute and both the Franco-American Center and Wabanaki Center, and the Frederick E. Hutchinson Center outreach campus in Belfast established in 2000. DLL has partnered with the different University of Maine System campuses on projects such as Safe Campus and National Girls Collaborative.
In 2011, Lucille Zeph became the associate provost for DLL. In June 2014, Zeph was succeeded by Monique LaRocque. LaRocque departed the University of Maine in 2022.
DLL is home today to the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL), UMaineOnline, Summer University and Winter Session, the Bachelor of University Studies, College Success Programs, the Frederick E. Hutchinson Center, and Conferences and Institutes.
