Applications are now open for 2019 commencement speakers. The application is available here and the deadline to apply is Tuesday, February 26th. You can also nominate a peer who you think would be a great speaker using the same form (the GSC will contact them and encourage them to apply).
The speeches allow graduates to discuss their experience, training, purpose, or intentions. There will be separate ceremonies for Master’s degrees and PhD degrees, so there will be two speakers selected, one for each ceremony. Please note, executive master’s students are also eligible.
Questions about commencement speaker applications or the staff award nominations should be sent to Becca Thorsness at gsc_nominations@brown.edu.
