Flag Bearers
Flags are representing a cross section of countries parade into the auditorium before the ceremony. Selected students will need to attend a rehearsal the morning of the ceremony.
Student Speaker
Consider nominating yourself for the Walsh commencement student speaker. Those in good standing can participate in the audition process. First round candidates will be required to submit a video to studentspeaker@walshcollege.edu. Final candidates will be asked to come to the Troy campus for a Live audition in front of a panel of judges.
Selected Candidate Requirements
The selected student speaker will need to schedule appointments with an assigned Walsh representative for coaching and practice sessions. Plus, attend an afternoon rehearsal the day before the ceremony.
Important Tips
There are a few things to keep in mind when writing/practicing your speech and making your audition. We recommend that you view the video below of a speech from the last ceremony. Candidates will be judged by a panel based on:
