About Faces of SSU

The Faces of SSU campaign started in 2012, with a vision from the beginning that we are more than what you see. Originally created to recognize students, the campaign has evolved to celebrate the entire SSU community, including students, alumni, and employees. While each of us has taken a different path and experienced SSU in our own way, we are united as one community.

Faces of SSU are selected based on a compelling narrative that highlights their unique experiences, contributions, and impact. Each year, a selection committee evaluates nominees using specific criteria for students, alumni, and employees to ensure a diverse representation of backgrounds and experiences within the SSU community.

Through this campaign, we celebrate our community by sharing inspiring narratives, captivating photos, and an engaging digital experience that brings stories to life. Stories can be viewed on our website or in person in the Student Center, second floor above the living room, or in The Schulz University Library, second floor as well as on light pole banners throughout campus. 

Faces of SSU is presented in partnership with Student Involvement, Entrepreneurial Activities Marketing, Alumni Association, Human Resources, and Strategic Communications.
