Seniors - Have Something to Say to Your Fellow Graduates?

Each year the Department of Psychology selects one undergraduate student to deliver a 5-minute speech at its commencement ceremony (click here for ceremony details). The theme of your speech is entirely up to you so long as it reflects the significance of graduating from the University of Maryland with a graduate or undergraduate degree in psychology.
All graduating seniors are encouraged to apply and semifinalists will be selected on the basis of the fit with their theme and their record of academic excellence.
