Student Reflection Speaker
Graduates are invited to apply to serve as the Georgia Tech student Commencement reflection speaker at this semester’s Commencement exercises. One student will be selected by a panel of faculty, administrators, and students to share an inspirational message with his/her classmates and their guests at the summer ceremony. Selected finalists must be graduates of the ceremony, in both academic and judicial good standing, and have a history of participation in campus and/or community activities.
The student reflection speaker will speak at the beginning of the ceremony and will rejoin his/her classmates on the floor. The reflection message—which should be two to three minutes in length—should also be secular in tone, providing inspiration to the graduates, recounting times spent together at Georgia Tech, or calling the audience to action around a certain message. Applicants must feel comfortable speaking at a podium and in front of a very large crowd.
Applications must be received by Friday, June 29, 2012. For more information, contact Debbie Dorsey in the Students Affairs office at 404.385.1562 or debbie.dorsey@vpss.gatech.edu
