Presque Isle, ME –Today, U.S. Senator Susan Collins delivered the keynote address at Northern Maine Community College’s (NMCC) 60thCommencement ceremony at the Presque Isle Forum. NMCC’s Class of 2025 includes more than 200 graduating students.
“Since the first students came to class 62 years ago, this terrific school has opened doors of opportunity. Many of you came here directly from high school. Many are the first in your families to earn college degrees. Many of you came here from the workforce, seeking a brighter future. All of you are here today because you have demonstrated those County values of determination, optimism, hard work, and pitching in,”said Senator Collins during her remarks.
“The diplomas you receive today represent a great deal of hard work on your part, but they also represent a great debt you owe those who made it possible. There are many ways you can repay this debt. I urge you to apply your talent, energy, and enthusiasm right here in Maine. Whether this is the beginning of your career or later on, Maine needs what you have to offer,”she continued.
Senator Collins has visited more than 200 schools throughout Maine during her Senate service, in addition to speaking at dozens of high school and college commencement ceremonies, most recently at Presque Isle High School, York County Community College, and Maine Maritime Academy.
