We are looking to select a graduating student to represent and speak on behalf of the Lurie College community at the Spring 2020 Commencement ceremony on Thursday, May 21, at 7:30pm in the SJSU Event Center!  In order to be eligible to apply to become the commencement speaker, you must also be eligible to participate in the commencement ceremony.  Your speech can take any number of approaches, but should be original and should resonate with the commencement attendees, which will be made up of Lurie College students of different academic levels and disciplines, SJSU and Lurie College faculty and staff, and family and friends of all ages and backgrounds.

To apply, submit a 3-5 minute video of you reciting your commencement speech by Sunday, March 1, via this Google form.

Those who are graduating and planning to participate in the Lurie College Commencement ceremony should also save the date for our Lurie College Pre-Commencement Celebration for faculty, staff, graduates, and their guests on Thursday, May 21, from 5-6:30pm in the Sweeney Hall courtyard!
