Held on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, Convocation will be livestreamed for parents, guardians, family, and friends to view.&nbsp; The ceremony begins with a formal procession at 3:30 PM, and will include remarks from President Herbert, Provost Mahon, the undergraduate college deans, and more. We encourage you to join us via the livestream, so you too can hear the words of welcome and advice that will be shared with your students.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"unefac-promo-block_cdf467c67421e002bd6e4d00ecec224f\" class=\"unefac-promo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.une.edu\/live\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2025\/07\/20240827_UNE_0047-1-scaled.jpg);\" class=\"style-left\"><div class=\"une-block-promo-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2025\/07\/20240827_UNE_0047-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A large group of students pose together on the Biddeford Campus\" \/><\/div><div class=\"une-block-promo-content\">\n\t\t<h3>2025 Convocation Ceremony<\/h3>\n\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t<p class=\"buttons\"><span class=\"button\">Watch Live at UNE.Edu<\/span><\/p>\t<\/div><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNE&#8217;s annual Convocation ceremony for incoming students is streamed live for parents and families who wish to watch. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":100,"featured_media":405,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-july-2025-first-year-families-newsletter"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>UNE Convocation - 2025 - Student Affairs Dean&#039;s Newsletter<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/2025\/07\/23\/une-convocation-2025\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"UNE Convocation - 2025 - Student Affairs Dean&#039;s Newsletter\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"UNE&#039;s annual Convocation ceremony for incoming students is streamed live for parents and families who wish to watch.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/2025\/07\/23\/une-convocation-2025\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Student Affairs Dean&#039;s Newsletter\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-07-23T14:35:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-08-11T18:11:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2025\/07\/20240827_UNE_0021-1434x436-1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"388\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"lcapitan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"lcapitan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/2025\/07\/23\/une-convocation-2025\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/2025\/07\/23\/une-convocation-2025\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"lcapitan\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/studentaffairs\/#\/schema\/person\/6287777b242549366e3666c656317929\"},\"headline\":\"UNE Convocation &#8211;
