Selecting the Speech: A Peek at How the Logan Commencement Ceremony Valedictorian Speaker is Chosen
By Taylor Emerson |
Each year, the eight colleges at Utah State University select a single undergraduate student to represent their best and brightest — honoring them as their class valedictorian.
Things like grade-point average, credits, breadth of educational experience and completion of University Honors are considered in this process, and each dean ultimately decides who best characterizes their college.
But for the Logan Commencement Ceremony, just one of those eight valedictorians is selected to speak in front the entire graduating class. So how do they get that honor?
In this video, take a brief look into that selection process and what then happens in the run-up to their big day.
