Each year for the SSW Graduation Celebration, SSW Students, Faculty, and Staff nominate a speaker to provide a keynote address.

Student Performances:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019ll be asking in the RSVP survey that usually goes out in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
