FARMINGTON, ME (May 13, 2021)— The University of Maine at Farmington is proud to announce a virtual Commencement celebration for the UMF Class of 2020. The online event will take place on Saturday, May 15, beginning at 10:30 a.m. at the following link: https://www.umf.maine.edu/commencement-2020-the-sequel/
A traditional, in-person Commencement ceremony was postponed last spring due to the Covid outbreak. Saturday’s virtual ceremony will begin with a message from UMF President Serna.
“This online event is a formal recognition of the members of the UMF Class of 2020, their persistence, resilience and all they accomplished during their time at Farmington,” said UMF President Edward Serna. “Though unavoidably delayed, this virtual event is an official “turning of the tassels” ceremony to honor our graduates’ commitment to successfully complete their degrees. Sincere congratulations to all!”
Patricia O’Donnell, UMF professor of Creative Writing, will deliver a pre-recorded keynote speech to graduates, their families and friends.
Patricia O’Donnell, UMF Professor of Creative Writing
O’Donnell joined the University of Maine at Farmington in 1992, as its first Professor of Fiction Writing in the University’s then-brand-new Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program, a program she led from 2006 until 2019. For 33 years, Pat has been the heart of the Creative Writing program, supporting, inspiring and guiding hundreds of young writers.
Patricia O’Donnell’s short fiction has appeared in The New Yorker, Agni Review, The North American Review, Prairie Schooner, Short Story, American Literary Review, and other journals and anthologies.
Her novel, “Necessary Places,” was published in 2012; her memoir, “Waiting to Begin,” in 2016; and her short story collection, “Gods for Sale,” won the Serena McDonald Kennedy Award and was published in 2017. In the spring of 2019 her novel, “The Vigilance of Stars,” was published.
McKayla Marois, will give the 2020 Senior Class President address. Marois received a Self-Designed degree in Inclusive Educational Policy with a concentration in Leadership and the Creative Arts. She is currently earning a M.S.Ed in Educational Leadership and Policy at the University of Texas at Austin, while also working at the University as a full-time Financial Aid Officer. While a student at Farmington, Mikayla worked for several years in leadership positions in UMF’s Admissions Office.

Jasmine Athamni, UMF Class of 2020 Student Speaker
After graduating from UMF, Athamni moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to pursue her dream job as a Lead Preschool Teacher in a culturally diverse community. Since starting her job she has been motivated to learn Spanish as her fourth language — she is already fluent in Arabic and Hebrew, having lived in the Middle East; and became fluent in English while she lived in the U.S.
She grew up traveling between different states and overseas. Over the past 10 years she has called Falmouth, Massachusetts her hometown. Jasmine hopes to pursue a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education.
