SSW Graduation Celebration Call for Keynote Speakers and Student Performances

MSW students, note that this academic year’s SSW Graduation Celebration is scheduled for 7pm on Thursday, June 12th , 2025, at the Alaska Airlines Arena.  

Keynote Speaker Nominations:

Each year for the SSW Graduation Celebration, SSW Students, Faculty, and Staff nominate a speaker to provide a keynote address. Please submit your nominations for a Keynote Speaker at: https://forms.office.com/r/u4ATmzhDwn. Nominations must be submitted by Monday. February 3rd by 9 am.

Student Performances:

We also will be asking for nominations and self-nominations for students who would like to perform during the celebration (generally a song, spoken word or similar activity.)  We generally have 2-3 students across all SSW programs participating in this way.  Please look around at your cohort and think about who might be good to do this and we’ll be asking in the RSVP survey that usually goes out in March.
