At the September 2024 School of Social Work Council meeting, an important update was announced regarding the graduation activities for the Class of 2025.  While the SSW has historically sponsored a small graduation event for only our students, this year we need to change our format.  This change is coming due to a number of factors which include availability of spaces for a graduation of our size, limited timing, and the desire to have our students showcased in the CEHD Graduation.  

As such, the upcoming graduation is planned for Friday, May 16 as follows.  Morning ceremony will be for undergraduates, which usually commences near lunch.  Our graduate students will then have a ceremony at CEHD in the afternoon, arrival around 3 p.m. with ceremony at 4 p.m., and completion in time for a supper.  

Also, please join us for the School of Social Work Graduation Reception in the McNamara Alumni Center (directly across the street from CEHD Commencement), scheduled in between the two CEHD ceremonies! We plan to provide a light meal and snacks. The current estimate is that this will be scheduled from 11:30 - 2:30 p.m. with students able to come and go as they please. We also welcome all family members to come meet our professors and classmates. This event will include a hooding station where students can take pictures getting hooded by family, friends, or their professors. There will also be additional selfie stations to record memories with your friends and family.

Please stay tuned via social media or this website for more information as we get closer to the graduation date.
