Graduation is quickly approaching, and it is the tradition of the School of Social Work to have a student responder during the convocation ceremony. The BSW student responder will be chosen by administration at the School of Social Work and will be based on submissions from the graduating BSW students.
All graduating students are encouraged to submit a speech for review. If you are interested in being this year's BSW student graduation speaker, please submit your speech to me by FRIDAY, APRIL 7th at 5PM. You can send it by email (dietkus2@illinois.edu) or drop it by my office (Suite 2000).
Below are the speech guidelines:
The BSW student speaker's speech should be 5-7 minutes in length. Please discuss the following questions: What led you to Social Work? What has been your overall experience in the Social Work program? What inspirational words do you have for your fellow graduates?
The School of Social Work convocation is scheduled for Saturday, May 13th at 1:30pm in Tryon Festival Theatre, Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. This is a ticketed event. A request of up to 5 tickets can be made with a possibility of 1 or 2 extra tickets if they are available. There will be a reception for graduates and their guests immediately following the graduation ceremony at the School of Social Work. We look forward to celebrating this milestone with you and your guests. Below you will find all the important information that you will need in order to participate in the upcoming May ceremony.
