Senior Certificates are presented to members of the senior class who have contributed "Service to the Associated Students." Recipients are selected based on their time and effort spent in the name of Willamette, the diversity of their activities, and their impact on other students.

Senior Keys are earned by outstanding members of the senior class who stand out for their meritorious service to the Associated Students of Willamette University (ASWU). These are leaders of multiple clubs and are broadly recognized by the student body for their work.
