Media cover 214th Commencement
Several articles and broadcasts highlighted Saturday’s University of Maine 214th Commencement, at which nearly 1,800 undergraduate and graduate students, including more than 40 doctoral candidates, earned degrees.
Auburn native, alumna and United States diplomat Pamela White — former ambassador to Haiti and The Gambia — delivered the address, saying, “Each and every one of you should be raising your voices for acceptance of different cultures and languages and religions,” White told the soon-to-be graduates. “There are no walls high enough and no bombs big enough to wipe out hatred. People can wipe out hatred. Love can wipe out hatred.”
WCSH6, FOX 22 and the Bangor Daily News were among the outlets that covered the ceremonies. Z 107.3 posted video of the ceremony.
