Valedictorian & Student Speaker
The Valedictorian is elected by the graduating class, from among candidates nominated by the School in consultation with the student clubs, based on the following criteria:
- Excellent academic performance
- Leadership qualities with high level of participation in extracurricular activities, including community service
- Good public-speaking skills
The Valedictorian will deliver the valedictory speech on behalf of the graduates at each Convocation ceremony. During the speech, the Valedictorian will also invite the graduating class to give an appreciation gesture to their loved ones for their support in making this graduation possible.
Similarly, the Student Speaker will deliver the speech on behalf of the PhD graduates at the Convocation ceremony, sharing reflections on their academic journey and representing the collective experiences of the graduating doctoral cohort.
