Honoring International Graduates 2020

The end of the semester is a special time of year, when we celebrate the hard work and many accomplishments of all our students. In particular, we honor our graduating students as they complete their final steps towards their long-awaited degree. Although we are unable to celebrate our graduating international students in person this year, International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS) is excited to honor our graduates in the following ways.

Virtual Celebration!

You are all invited to join us in honoring our international graduates in a Virtual Celebration on Friday, December 18, 2020 from 4:00-5:00 p.m. (PT)

    • Guests may register here
    • Graduating students, please be sure to register and submit your photo no later than December 13, 2020 via the online registration form.
    • View our spring 2020 Celebration Student Speakers here

Social Media Spotlight

We’ll continue to celebrate our graduating students by sharing their photos on our @SJSUinternational Instagram page. Starting December 18, 2020, we’ll share the photos and messages of our Virtual Celebration participants (with their consent) on Instagram. If you didn’t submit a photo but would like for us to feature you on Instagram, simply tag us at @SJSUinternational and use the hashtag #SJSU20international. Remember, we won’t be able to see your tags if your account is private, but you can always send us a direct message on Instagram with your photo for us to share.

Celebration Songs Playlist

We’ve asked graduates to submit their favorite happy/celebratory song on the Virtual Celebration registration. We’ll also put a call out for song recommendations on Instagram. Once we have compiled your song recommendations, we’ll share a link so you can enjoy them via YouTube.

Video Montage

Graduating students, send us a video of yourself! Tell us your name, degree (BA, BS, MA, etc.), and major. Then, tell us 1-2 things you love about SJSU! Email us your video by December 11, 2020 to isss-programs@sjsu.edu with the subject: Video montage. Once we have the videos ready, we’ll share them on Instagram and put them up on our website. You can view previous videos here.

Congratulations to the Class of 2020! We look forward to celebrating you!
