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.

Apply here!

All applications are due by March 12th, 2025. 

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