2021-22 Outstanding Graduate Awards
Fall is an exciting time for Sessions College – we welcome new students, inspire current students, and celebrate recent graduates. During the Fall semester, we present the Outstanding Graduate Awards recognizing graduates who exceed expectations by consistently improving their work, accepting feedback, and leading by example for their peers. We wish the awardees and all our graduates great success as they launch or advance their creative careers!!!
To honor the highest student achievement, Sessions College staff and faculty nominate Outstanding Graduates each year. Here are our 2021-22 Outstanding Graduate Award recipients:
