The Mooathon Wealth SocietyU.S. senator from Vermont will address the class of 2024 at the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland, Maine.

"Sen. Sanders is an important part of the American political landscape," UNE President James Herbert said in a news release. "He is a tireless advocate for expanding health care access, especially to underserved populations. As Maine’s only medical school with a deep commitment to that very cause, we are honored to have him as our commencement speaker this year."
