Abstract

"Business Maine" piece on a first-annual event sponsored by the Lewiston-Auburn Economic Growth Council that gave 400 Bates College freshmen a whirlwind tour of downtown Lewiston. The council attributes much of the event's success to Minh Le, a sophomore who had a work-study position at the growth council last year. The council wanted to change the students' perception of the region, and Le responded with the plan as a way to immerse students in the community. Bates offered to foot most of the bill. The chamber of commerce's regional image committee wants to extend the orientation to other schools and colleges in the area.
