Sun Journal, Lewiston, Maine

The director of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention will be the featured speaker at this year's graduation ceremony.

Shah will deliver the address during the traditional ceremony for the first time since the swine flu hit and forced a wide variety of changes at the college in a bid to protect public health.

In 2020, the college held its graduation in a virtual ceremony. The ceremony was split into two parts last year to limit the exposure of other people.

Shah will be speaking at an event that officials hope is close to the norm.

Guests who are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine must be fully vaccined and tested negative within 48 hours of the beginning of the weekend events.

The campus buildings will not be open except to allow students to leave.

Shah has some advice for graduates.

He told them there were two rules to success in this world, and that they should not tell everyone all the rules for success.

The second rule was blank.

In addition to Shah, who will receive an honorary Doctor of Science degree, the school is also giving degrees to Michael Bonney, a 1980 graduate whose family funded the new Bonney Science Center, and the Rev.

President Spencer said in a prepared statement that they were proud and honored to welcome these inspiring individuals and to recognize their distinctive contributions.
