Dear graduating 2018’ers:
Would you like to share your Wesleyan experience at graduation? If so, simply submit a 200-250 word essay answering the following question:
What has your Wesleyan experience meant to you?
The essay should be roughly equivalent of the speech you wish to deliver at graduation. Completed essays should be emailed to Dean Thornton (rjohnson01@wesleyan.edu) by 12:00 noon on Wednesday, March 28.
All essays will be reviewed anonymously by the Senior Commencement Speaker Selection Committee, which will select several finalists for interviews from the pool. Interviews will be conducted in mid-April, after which the speaker will be announced.
Speaking at Commencement is a unique responsibility which should be taken seriously. If you are interested in becoming the senior speaker for Commencement, please don’t hesitate to submit an essay!
Good luck and all the best!
