Student Commencement Speaker and Leadership Honors applications available
by Green & Gold News |
Applications are now available for spring 2022 UAA Commencement Speaker and Leadership Honors. All applicants must be graduating in spring 2022 and the deadline to apply is Friday, March 4, at 11:59 p.m.
Student Commencement Speaker
The Student Commencement Speaker offers an address during the fall commencement ceremony
and serves as the representative of the graduating class. Providing the student address
during this important university event is an opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments
of the graduating class, reflect upon the past few years, and convey a message for
the future. Along with notable members of the UAA and UA community, as well as other
important Alaska representatives, the Student Commencement Speaker participates in
pre-commencement activities and is seated on the main stage during the program.
Leadership Honors
Leadership Honors are awarded to individuals upon graduation to recognize and honor
their leadership contributions to the University of Alaska Anchorage and Anchorage
community while maintaining academic excellence. Leadership activities and involvement
must promote individual and collective growth, demonstrate increased engagement with
the community at UAA and beyond, and showcase commitment to citizenship. Recipients
of UAA Leadership Honors are commemorated at the fall or spring commencement ceremony,
bestowed crimson honor cords and receive a permanent notation on their academic transcript.
