The University of Maine will celebrate its commencement ceremonies on Saturday, May 10, 2025, and Sunday, May 11, 2025, at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor.  The schedule is as follows:

Volunteers are requested to be on-site by 3:30 p.m. on Saturday and by 7:30 a.m. on Sunday for the morning ceremony, and 2:30 p.m. for the afternoon ceremony.

Commencement is a community celebration, the highlight of the academic year, not only for the graduating students, but for the administration, staff and faculty. Every employee on this campus has played a role in this remarkable achievement and the graduates and their families look forward to sharing this moment with all of us.

Volunteers are critical to the success of the commencement ceremonies — the largest events that the university will host all year. This is a time to showcase our culture of excellence to graduates, students, friends, family and community members. Volunteers play many roles at commencement and are essential to the success of commencement. Thank you for volunteering!
