UMA is rescheduling planned Oct. 3 commencement, seeks feedback

AUGUSTA — The University of Maine at Augusta anticipates celebrating its 2020 graduates during commencement on May 8, 2021, the college announced.
Because of pandemic restrictions on large gatherings, the traditional in-person commencement that was originally to be in May 2020 was postponed to Oct. 3.
The continued limits on large gatherings has required a rescheduling of the in-person event or a virtual alternative. The university is seeking input from its graduates regarding these options, the college said. A final decision will be made once this feedback is received.
This past May, UMA paid tribute to its graduating students with online celebration pages that allowed graduates to share their stories, thanks, and inspirations for the future through video stories or photos posted on a special webpage, uma.edu/2020grads.
