Graduates, families, and faculty gathered to celebrate a milestone moment at our Fall 2025 College of Community Engagement and Professions Recognition Ceremony, honoring the hard work and achievements of the Class of 2025.

Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral students from the Helen Bader School of Social Welfare, School of Education and School of Information Studies had the opportunity to share a few words as they walked across the stage, reflecting on their journeys and the experiences that shaped their time here. Stories of support and perseverance were shared, celebrating both personal growth and academic success.

Graduates and their families shared a dinner as well as a photo session with Pounce, giving them a chance to connect with faculty and each other.

The celebration inspired much applause, gratitude, and excitement for what lies ahead for this semester’s graduates. Congratulations, Class of 2025!
