Dear Campus Community,
As another academic year comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to congratulate all of our students on reaching this milestone.
To our graduating Huskies, congratulations on your commencement and this incredible achievement. Your hard work, resilience, and dedication have brought you to this moment, and we are proud to have been part of your journey here at the University of Southern Maine. We wish you every success in the next chapter ahead.
To those students returning in the fall with more of the journey still ahead, congratulations on successfully completing another academic year. Each year brings its own challenges and accomplishments, and you should take pride in what you have achieved.
As summer begins, I hope everyone has an opportunity to rest, recharge, spend time with family and friends, work toward personal and professional goals, and enjoy the warmer weather safely. To all our Staff and Faculty Members, thank you for all your hard work in the last year!
Whether you are traveling, working, taking summer classes, or simply taking some well-earned downtime, please continue to look out for one another and make good decisions around personal safety, heat, hydration, travel, and responsible celebrations.
Thank you for helping make our campuses such a strong and caring community this year.
Have a safe, enjoyable, and restorative summer.
Best wishes,
Gráinne Perkins, PhD.
