CSSW Commencement Ceremony

Congratulations, Class of 2021!

CSSW is hosting a virtual graduation on April 30, 2021 @ 3:00 p.m. to celebrate all that you have accomplished during your time at the School! The School’s graduation ceremony will feature a keynote speaker and two student speakers, a Master’s graduate and a doctoral graduate. During the ceremony, each graduate’s name will be read and each graduate will be recognized with a slide that can be customized with a photo or video and a personal message. Each graduate will also receive a shareable personalized graduation website, which will allow for the display of photos, videos, and texts. Use the hashtag #CSSWGraduation2021 and tag @Columbiassw on Twitter and Instagram if you would like your posts to be shared on the main CSSW accounts. For more information or help with questions, please contact the School’s Graduation Planning Team by e-mail at cssw-graduation@columbia.edu.
