UMF’s 156th commencement graduates 468; grads listed

FARMINGTON – Elaine Najarian stood patiently on the High Street curb with a big sparkling balloon that shouted “Sylvia YOU DID IT!”

Najarian of Farmington, was waiting for her sister Sylvia Cypher to march by, one of 468 students graduating from the University of Maine at Farmington today in its 156th commencement ceremony.

“She works at UMF and it’s taken seven years,” Najarian said smiling while she scanned the long line of near-graduates walking by in twos from Dearborn Gymnasium towards their diploma. Cypher of New Sharon,  received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Interdisciplinary Individualized-Business, Economics & Social Sciences.     

In her 15th year at UMF’s president, Theodora Kalikow congratulated the graduates and thanked their parents for them under bright, milky-white warm skies before a crowd of more than 2,000 attending the ceremony.
 

Kalikow recognized graduating senior Dale Menard of Brunswick, who became involved with UMF’s Sustainable Campus Coalition and participated in a number of activities, including attending Climate Crisis Action Day Washington, D.C. and UMF faculty-led trips to the Virgin Islands to work on conservation research.

Back home, Menard launched UMF’s participation in Keep ME Warm, a program in which students winterize the homes of low income residents, organized the first annual Salvage and Recycle Program and other activities designed to reduce waste, save energy, and help educate the campus and community, Kalikow said. 

Menard graduated today with a dual degree in Secondary Area Science Education and Interdisciplinary Environmental Science, with a minor in biology and will return to St. John to volunteer at the Virgin Islands Environmental Research Station and, in between, he will be working in the lawn care business he started with his brother Shawn, called Menard’s Yards—as he looks for a job in the environmental field. 

“He credits the faculty and staff at UMF for encouraging him to believe that dreams aren’t impossible to realize—that if he wants something to happen he just has to do it,” Kalikow added.         

The keynote address by Naomi Schalit, an opinion page editor of the Kennebec Journal and Morning Sentinel, focused on word use or, rather, the misuse she often sees as a part of her job. Politicians use of “I’m not comfortable,” when they really mean to say they hate it or the common use of “faith-based” when “religious” would be more accurate were among her examples. She urged the graduating seniors to say what they mean and to strive towards honest communication.

“Please go forth and speak English,” she said. “Tell the world what you think, what you believe, what you want and what you don’t want.”   

Graduating senior Katharine Rose Gergosian of Topsham, gave the student address, and Richard Pattenaude, University of Maine System chancellor, and Jean Flahive, board of trustee member, wished the graduates well. 

Farmington residents, Ann Arbor, a teacher, poet and photographer, along with her husband, John Rosenwald, a poet and dramatist, were each recipients of an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters at the UMF ceremony. Together, they have shared their love of poetry and passion for international culture with the community and the region.

According to the U.S. Department of Education, 80 percent of UMF’s graduates will stay in Maine to live and work.
