Billy Mills: ​The Wings of an Eagle

Prior to his September lecture at the University of New England, Olympic gold medalist Billy Mills discussed losing his mother at a very young age, discovering his passion for running, and turning his broken wings into the wings of an eagle. It was a great lesson for UNE students.

The University of New England is Maine's largest private university. UNE offers more than 40 bachelor’s degrees in needed fields, from the health professions, to the health and life sciences, to business and the humanities. We also offer 30-plus graduate, professional and doctoral degrees in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, social work and more. UNE learning happens online and on three beautiful campuses: on the shore in Biddeford, Maine, in-town in Portland, Maine, and at our study-abroad campus in Tangier, Morocco.
