Stonecoast MFA Commencement Speeches

Each Stonecoast commencement features a brief address by a student in poetry, creative nonfiction, and fiction/popular fiction as well as a faculty speaker. The faculty speaker is chosen by the student body at large, and the student speakers are chosen by their peers in their genre. We are proud to post the faculty and student commencement addresses here:
