Macon Commencement Speaker Selection Process

If you have completed the May 2022 Macon graduation documentation with the Registrar’s Office and are in good standing with the University, please consider submitting an application to be this year’s student speaker. We are looking for a dynamic student who can connect 7-10 minutes of their Mercer experience with the 6,000+ audience members and graduates in attendance at Five Star Stadium and hundreds of others who will be livestreaming the celebration. In addition to remarks from a representative from our Board of Trustees and President Underwood, our student speaker is the featured speaker for our program.

You can self-enroll in the Canvas course at https://merceru.instructure.com/enroll/6CG77T for details and to submit materials, including some short responses and a two-to-five minute video about your preliminary ideas for your speech. Deadline is Monday, March 14 at 11:59 PM.
