Honors Graduation Speaker Application

Every fall and spring, at the Honors Graduation Celebration event, the Honors Program highlights each member of the graduating class. In addition, one student is selected to share reflections on their and their classmates' experiences during their time at UNL and in Honors.

If you are interested in being this speaker, please fill out the following form by April 27, 2025. 

The selected speaker will work with Nick Gilbert in the Honors Program in refining and preparing their full remarks. The student speaker's comments should not exceed 5 minutes. 

Please direct any questions to Nick (ngilbert2@unl.edu). 

Below, please share a draft of the remarks you would make, should you be selected as the graduation speaker. We do not expect this to be a final draft by any means, but it should showcase the way you intend to frame your remarks and the content you would bring to this speaking opporutnity. The total speaking time is about 5 minutes, so your draft should reflect that (usually this means about 2 pages single spaced).
