UNIVERSITY CENTER – Delta College is accepting applications from 2020 graduates to become speakers at this year’s commencement ceremony.

Students who have earned or meet the requirements for an associate degree from August 2019 to April 2020 are eligible to apply. Each application must include three written faculty and staff recommendations.

For each year, two students with compelling stories about their college experience are selected to serve as commencement speakers.


As the application document details, each speech takes no longer than five minutes and focuses on the student’s experience at Delta College, and what his or her post-graduation plans are.

An application can be found online at portal.delta.edu, under Student News. Applications must be sent in to the Vice President’s Office (Room B137) by Friday, Feb. 7.
