CONGRATULATIONS, SCA GRADS!
Congratulations to all of the newest SCA alumni, whose Convocation was on Tuesday, June 29, 2021. Our SCA Convocation Pre-Party has hosted by filmmaker, theatre director, and also-graduating SCA student (now new alumni, too!) , and our "alumni speaker" was composer and musician , and they both did a fantastic job. This year's grads completed their studies during the Covid pandemic and had their Convocation during the terrible "heat dome" of 2021. With all that behind them, we're sure they're going to be able to take on every challenge they're presented with. Congratulations again to all of them 鈥� and please remember to keep it touch!
