Each semester we honor the achievements of the students graduating that semester. The Student Recognition Celebration is a time to celebrate our graduating students and recognize the friends and family that helped them. The events include remarks from Luddy’s leadership, a student speaker, and sometimes an alumni speaker, with a reception afterward in beautiful Luddy Hall.
We are always looking for student speakers for the celebration. If you have an interest, please let us know by applying to speak before April 17 submission deadline.
