Graduation Speeches

speech Saturday morning in front of the entire Virginia delegation, which was over 1,000 people. I gave my speech with a great amount of self esteem. I owned it. The only thing left was to see what the voting delegates thought. Immediately following speeches, all of the candidates stood nervously waiting to receive the letters that told them if all of their hard work had paid off or not. One of the state advisors began to hand out letters. I heard my name called. My arm was shaking when I reached for

Delivering a commencement address is a great responsibility; or so I thought until I cast my mind back to my own graduation. The commencement speaker that day was the distinguished British philosopher Baroness Mary Warnock. Reflecting on her speech has helped me enormously in writing this one, because it turns out that I can’t remember a single word she said. This liberating discovery enables me to proceed without any fear that I might inadvertently influence you to abandon promising careers in business

To this day, I harbor vivid memories of the final moments leading up to our product launch. “Get ready - you have sixty seconds, and then we’re live,” the HSN cameraman called out amid a brightly-lit studio. He leaned toward me, my body just inches beyond the camera’s field of view. I was the only company representative on location, and the only respite for any technical issues that could render our portable, inkless printers non-functional. “Alright, you’re on!” He motioned to the set with a

From 14th to 17th October, my colleagues and I attended the AASHE sustainability conference in San Antonio, Texas. There, we met green advocates and sustainability students from universities all over the US and shared our ideas with them. The experience and insights we gained from the conference shed some light on how we should encourage sustainable living here in Berea. My first-ever conference visit in the United States, the AASHE has taught me invaluable lessons regarding sustainability. In one

Salutatorian Speech Distinguished guests, family, and graduating class, welcome. To not only my family, but the family of each graduate, thank you, for our success truly is your success. I will not stand before you tonight and attempt to uncliché the cliché that is my salutatory. Instead, I would like to discuss something entirely unrelated to the honor it is to stand before you. Graduates, until this moment, our lives have been a sequence of carefully organized and orchestrated events, predetermined

Dartmouth College commencement speech was an inspirational but at the same time a comedic presentation. He uses jokes to get his point across and motivate the future graduates. The linguistics that he uses are different from any other speaker at a graduation speech, however he has his own method of delivering his message. Conan O’Brien’s seems very comfortable conveying his commencement speech ,with great posture and eye contact, mostly since he is a talk show host and has experience talking in public

The organization that has been the most impactful since I started college has been Sigma Kappa sorority. Sigma Kappa was the first organization I joined when I got to K-State and in many ways I think it is the reason that I became even more involved throughout the last two years. Being a member of Sigma Kappa first exposed me to other opportunities on campus. One instance in particular is there is a member that is very involved in the Student Governing Association. She often would stand up during

In 2005 during his Commencement address, Steve Jobs, former CEO of Apple and Pixar, uses ethos to inspire Stanford graduates to follow their dreams no matter the obstacles in life. Jobs focuses on three stories of his life. His first story is about him dropping out of college in which he said was the best that could have happened to him. From this, he was able to become successful in what actually interested him, which were computers and their typography. Jobs second story describes how he was actually

On graduation day, do you focus on being happy? Thinking that you are done and forgetting about how much student debt you have? Nate Beeler, the artist of the cartoon “Graduation Selfie” captures how that exciting day truly is. Beeler is an editorial cartoonist for the Columbus Dispatch. His work has appeared in an abundance of news programs and other publications. Beeler has also won many awards for his cartoons, such as the Fischetti award in 2014, and the Thomas Nast award in 2010 (The Association
