For the past few weeks, we have seen students on both of our Maine campuses taking photos in graduation regalia, and now the time has come for the real event! How does it feel as you near the end of your campus days at UNE?

We are going to miss seeing your faces at the library, but we wish you the best as you open the next new chapter of your life story!
