Honors Ceremony Speaker

The Honors Ceremony Speaker is a distinguished student selected to represent the graduating Honors cohort and share their journey through the Honors Program.

Established in 2026, the Honors Ceremony Speaker offers a personal perspective on the Honors Program experience and its impact on their academic and professional growth. Through their remarks, they reflect on the challenges they faced, lessons they learned, achievements they celebrated, unexpected discoveries they encountered, and the meaningful relationships they built while conducting research and scholarship alongside Emory University faculty. 

The student selected as the Honors Ceremony Speaker will be awarded a fourragère to wear with their graduation regalia in recognition of this honor.

Any student who completes the Honors Program during the academic year is eligible to apply for this opportunity.
