Student Speaker Application Process
Commencement is a special time of celebration for all members of the University of Baltimore Community where we stop to recognize the exceptional work of our students. The commencement ceremonies feature student speakers who each present a 3-5 minute speech. If you would like to be considered as a student speaker, please complete the student speaker application form and note the deadline which is included on the form..
Applications should include a draft of your remarks as well as a narrative explaining why your story is compelling. The committee can only review the information submitted so please do your best to provide a complete application. Incomplete application packets will not be considered.
Following the deadline, a committee of faculty and staff will review all submissions and determine the student commencement speaker(s). The selected speaker(s) will be contacted by the Center for Student Engagement and Inclusion to provide committee feedback and review the specific responsibilities of the student speaker.
If you have any questions about this process, please email engagement@ubalt.edu.
