Blog Response to: Grad Time: What Makes a Commencement Speech Memorable? By Maurice Elias 6/7/12



I don’t remember my commencement speeches from high school or college. I think it was overshadowed by the excitement of being finished and wondering about the new journey that was ahead of me. So I agree with the author when he says “best to save the deeper contemplations and inspirational insights for other occasions”. However, I do wish someone sat me down to try to explore my interests and guide me on decisions like choosing a major or how to handle living expenses. Yes, students need to know certain info from curriculum but students also need to learn how to deal with life.
