MCC Student Speaker Recommendation Form for Commencement 2019

Open Through Wednesday, February 20th, 2019

A recommendation may come from any current student, employee, or community member of Metropolitan Community College. MCC invites students graduating in the Fall 2018 or Spring 2019 to nominate themselves to be the 2019 MCC Commencement student speaker as well. To be chosen as MCC’s Student Commencement speaker is a distinguished honor--to share experience and insights, inspire fellow graduates, and leave a lasting impression on the graduates of Metropolitan Community College is to be taken seriously. The Commencement student speaker will recognize Commencement as both an ending and a beginning; an opportunity for graduates to reflect on what has been, while anticipating new, perhaps unknown, challenges. The speech will have special meaning for graduates in attendance; reflecting on the common educational experience; and share, in a personal way, the value of the education received at MCC.
