What would you like to say to your fellow graduates at commencement?
We're seeking a
senior speaker for our annual Under the Oaks award celebration! Here is this year's prompt:
As our world becomes increasingly more divided, the work of leadership and change seems even more daunting.
After commencement, graduates will enter a world ready for new beginnings and expanded opportunities.
- What does leadership look like in an era of challenges and divisive perspectives?
- How can we best embrace the moment, while focusing on brighter days ahead?
- How do we foster supportive communities that help us lead with optimism?
The senior speaker's speech should be around 2 minutes long. Speech outlines will be due on
April 1, 2026 via email to Julie Henriquez-Aldana at jhenriquez@tulane.edu.
If you have any questions, feel free to email Julie Henriquez-Aldana at jhenriquez@tulane.edu.
