Dear Prospective Graduate, As you are well aware, graduation is upon us and the graduating class needs strong speakers and motivators to represent the class as this year’s valedictorians. This year, one student will be chosen for this most prestigious position to speak at the John Molson School of Business convocations in August to the graduating students about their tremendous accomplishments. What is a valedictorian? A valedictorian is a member of the graduating class who has earned the respect of colleagues, students, and professors. Also, this person has contributed to the university community and volunteered their time for the improvement of student life and the pride of John Molson. This person is also an excellent speaker and has maintained above-average grades (cumulative GPA of 3.3 or better). If you meet the above criteria and are interested in representing the graduating class as valedictorian, please submit a copy of your transcript, a resumé, and a letter of intent by Friday, July 29, 5:00 pm, to Dr. Jooseop Lim, Associate Dean, Undergraduate Programs. A committee consisting of professors (including myself), academic advisors, staff, and a student representative will review the applications. The selected candidates will be invited to make a valedictory speech not to exceed five minutes at the John Molson convocations in August. The valedictory speech should congratulate the graduates, acknowledge the importance of their accomplishments, generate a sense of pride towards Concordia and the John Molson School of Business, and stress the importance of never forgetting their roots and giving back to student life at Concordia. Please send your submission as soon as possible to adug.jmsb@concordia.ca. Best wishes for success in your career and in your future endeavours. Regards, Jooseop Lim, MBA, PhD This email is being sent to John Molson students who have applied to graduate in August 2022. Receiving this email does not imply that you have been cleared for graduation by the Office of the Registrar. |
