December Grads: You could be the Graduation Speaker

A student graduation speaker gives a speech at the podium.You have a story – and it’s worth telling! Central Piedmont’s Graduation Committee is now accepting nominations of student graduates to serve as the student speaker at the December 2023 commencement celebration.

Ideally, you would share a pride in your educational journey, a passion for Central Piedmont, and would be willing and able to share your experience and wisdom during the graduation celebration on Thursday, Dec. 14.

Nominations will be accepted until October 31, through the student speaker nomination form. Check out the remarks to the graduating class from ReDeja Sawyer, a previous student speaker.

Students selected for an interview will be asked to prepare a sample of your speech through a brief written reflection of your college experience. Interviews and selection will conclude by November 10. The selected graduate will receive guidance, rehearsal, and support to prepare your official remarks.
