Outstanding Graduating Students

Mary GreshamDear 2021 Graduates:

It gives me great pleasure to congratulate you on your accomplishments this year. You are now University of Maine graduates and you have achieved this milestone during the most challenging time in recent memory!

Although our commencement this year will be virtual for the most part, we will still celebrate your accomplishments by listing each of our 2021 graduates on this page. In addition, please watch the video at the top of this page to see faculty and staff offering congratulations and well wishes to the entire graduating class. There are also profiles of outstanding graduating students, whose successes we highlight on this page as well.

For even more, check out UMaine’s Commencement page, where you’ll see messages from the University of Maine System and campus leaders, faculty members, alumni and friends of the university. There you will also find information on UMaine’s virtual commencement, complete with socially distanced stage walks for graduates that will be live-streamed and later edited into presentation available for viewing in late May.

I offer you my very best wishes for your continued success and thank you for your contributions to this College, to the University of Maine, and to the profession of education. You are Amazing!

Sincerely,

Mary H. Gresham, Interim Dean
College of Education and Human Development
