Spring 2025 Commencement Ceremonies

Student Speaker Application

Are you interested in being a speaker at commencement? Each year, the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences selects a student to deliver a 4 - 5 minute speech at each of our commencement ceremonies. Therefore, we are looking for two enthusiastic student speakers who have a unique story and a message to share with their graduating class.

The College of Behavioral and Social Sciences is no longer accepting applications for this year's commencement ceremonies. 

If you have questions or would like to nominate a student for consideration, please contact the BSOS Special Events team at bsosdeanevents@umd.edu.
