Class and Student Marshals
Class Marshals
Two Syracuse University seniors are selected as all-University representatives for the Class of 2025 and have unique opportunities throughout their senior year to engage with various University stakeholders, help select their Commencement speaker, and discuss their student experience and offer constructive suggestions with senior administrators. They are selected by a search committee, composed of Division of Enrollment and the Student Experience staff, using criteria based upon scholarship, academic honors, student organization involvement, campus and community service, and exhibited school spirit.
For more information on the Class of 2025 class marshals, see the SU News press release.
