FARMINGTON – The University of Maine at Farmington awarded a total of 392 bachelor’s and master’s degrees for 2015, with 369 marching in Saturday’s commencement ceremony.

Maine native and Olympic gold medalist and women’s running advocate, Joan Benoit Samuelson, told the graduating class in the commencement address that each will have an important future story to tell that will include “elements of opportunity, luck, surprise, passion, hard work and dedication.”

Her dedication to running began when she was recovering from a leg fracture she suffered as a competitive skier. She developed a passion for running long distances and won her first Boston Marathon while a senior at Bowdoin College in 1979. She had the fastest women’s  time, by over 2 minutes, again in 1983. The next year Benoit Samuelson won the first women’s Olympic marathon in Los Angeles. In ’85 she won the Chicago Marathon, setting a new American record. Her running work also included establishing the Beach to Beacon 10K Road Race in Cape Elizabeth 18 years ago.

During UMF’s commencement ceremony, Joan Benoit Samuelson was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters.

Benoit Samuelson said she worked hard doing what she loved best and had successes and challenges to overcome, just as each graduate will have to do in their lives.

“You will not win all the time. I have had eight surgeries, lost many more road races than I have won, and have spent thousands of hours running through ice, snow, sleet and rain to which only you UMF students can relate,” she said.

Having run a total of about 150,000 miles, Benoit Samuelson  continues to run because “each race has a story,” she said. She commended UMF for starting a men’s and women’s varsity track and field team, its green energy advocacy and developing a community health education curriculum.

Graduating senior Chelsea Lear-Ward of Levant delivered the student address. A major in community health education and a minor in environmental studies, she teared up momentarily when she advised her classmates to “tell your parents, friends, professors and loved ones how much they mean to you.”

While a student at UMF, Lear-Ward interned with the TerraCycle recycling program, coordinated events for the Farmington Farmers’ Market and helping to raise awareness of domestic violence.

Her advice also included “unplugging” from the internet to “enjoy what is going on around you and see what happens,” she said and to avoid negativism, give genuine compliments, ask questions, travel, laugh at yourself, work hard, pay it forward and keep in touch with your friends.

Of the 392 students receiving their degrees today, 21 earned their master’s in education, said Kathryn Foster, UMF president in her welcome speech. Of the undergraduates, 53 percent earned a bachelor of science, 42 percent bachelor of art and the remaining 5 percent, a fine arts or general studies degree. There were 140 education majors,  she said, and about 80 percent are Maine residents.

During the ceremony, Benoit Samuelson was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters.

  1. Congratulations to all of the graduates. To all of you posting negativity on the closing of High street for a few hours for these people to be awarded for their accompleshments, hope you were not inconvienced.

  2. Congratulations to all the graduates. (I can only hope that the Town of Farmington did not fall apart in the process! So many people have problems and issues that break their hearts on a daily basis. A street being closed in Farmington for a few hours so that these kids can celebrate a most special day is about a .02 on the 1-10 scale!) Be brave and change the world, Children!!

  3. Congratulations to: Brooke Gilchrist, Brittany York, Briana Luce and all other graduates! Good luck to you and whatever you do in your future!
