Deborah Morton Society (University of New England)

The Deborah Morton Society fosters University of New England students who have shown leadership and public service to enable them to complete their education and pursue roles of leadership in society. The Deborah Morton Award, first given in 1961, is presented each year by the Trustees of the University of New England to honor and recognize outstanding women with strong ties to Maine who, in the spirit of Deborah Morton, have combined high distinction in their careers with the record of public service or whose volunteer leadership in civic, cultural, or social causes has been exceptional.
