Graduating Seniors!
Tomorrow, Feb. 20, is the last day to submit a speech to represent the Class of 2026 at Southern Utah University Commencement Ceremony.
Your speech should be between five and seven minutes and tell a powerful story that reflects your time at SUU. The selected speaker will receive $500 and an opportunity to wrap up this life chapter, like a final bow.
