Each year, Columbia University School of Professional Studies selects one exceptional graduate from each master’s program to serve as a student marshal at commencement, recognizing students for their academic excellence, leadership, and contributions to the SPS community.
At the 2026 Columbia SPS Graduation Ceremony, these student marshals proudly led their fellow graduates and carried their program banners as representatives of their cohorts.
In this video, hear reflections from the 2026 SPS student marshals.
Congratulations again to the Columbia SPS Class of 2026!
