Graduation Speaker Application
The Student Graduate Speaker delivers a two-minute speech during the Commencement Ceremony in May and serves as the representative of the entire graduating class. Providing the student address during this important college event is an opportunity for the selected student to celebrate the accomplishments of the graduating class, reflect upon the past few years, and convey a message for the future. The selected Student Graduate Speaker is required to participate in pre-commencement activities, and will be seated on the main stage during the program.
