Yesterday, UNE students organized a vigil to honor the victims of the Lewiston shooting. We gathered to remember those affected by this senseless tragedy. I’m incredibly proud of the strength and compassion I’ve witnessed from this community. Together, we are moving through this.

Thank you to all who came out to listen to Janet Jakobsen's lecture titled "Religious Freedom, Sexual Freedom." The discussion that followed the lecture, as always, was quite engaging.

Amid the ongoing FAFSA delays, we have extended our undergraduate enrollment deposit deadline to June 1. This extension gives our incoming students the extra time they deserve to make these decisions without feeling rushed by a situation that is out of their control.

I am excited to share that Bernie Sanders will deliver the keynote address at UNE’s 2024 Commencement. Sen. Sanders is a pillar of the American political landscape, and his keynote will undoubtedly offer a thoughtful perspective on his career of service. une.edu/news/2024/us-s…
