On April 21st, Dr. Saxe held a panel discussion that lasted an hour and 30 minutes. All type of people that work at the local and state level went there, from people running for different districts to the state representative, Chris Turner. During this panel of discussion, 8 persons had the time to introduce themselves, what they’re running for, and what they would do if they get elected. This was a great day for this class because we had the opportunity to interact with people who holds positions in the state of Texas, giving us another view of how things work in Texas.

David Foster Wallace talks about how the commencement speakers should speak about why they were chosen to give the speech.

On October 28th, 2015, Lone Star College of Kingwood hosted an event called the human library. It was held on campus for students who were interested to participate. The human library was created for students to gain knowledge of obstacles individuals experienced in life, such as living in the south as a black woman in the 1950’s, being homeless, and being a religion that is frowned upon in society. The purpose of the event is to teach students about other cultures, social classes, and hardship. The speakers inform our generation their own personal experience rather than information in a text book.

The document that I selected to analyze is document 25-1. Document 25-1 was a speech made by Former President Franklin D. Roosevelt that addressed Congress in 1941. The reason as to why the document was written, was because Former President Franklin D. Roosevelt was explaining to Congress how the feelings felt by the Americans the day after Pearl Harbor. A historical theme that relates to this is the United States involvement in the Second World War. Before the attack, many Americans made it clear that they did not want to be involved in another foreign war. Former President Franklin D. Roosevelt did his best to not involve Americans in another foreign war, however, after the Japanese surprise attack l on Pearl Harbor, eased the American hesitations

In 2010, Dr. Marc Lamont Hill was the commencement speaker for California State University, Stanislaus. This speech was addressed to the graduating class of 2010, their friends and family who were attending the ceremony, the California State University, Stanislaus faculty and staff, and people who may have not been able to attend the ceremony, but were able to watch it on a DVD recording. This speech was intended to congratulate the graduates and offer them advice as they enter into the “real world” post-graduation. However, the speech also had to address the family and friends of the graduates and the university’s faculty and staff, since they presumably made a difference in the lives of the graduates.

Wangari Muta Maathai was awarded the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway, delivering her acceptance speech to not only those in Oslo City Hall, but it was also televised for the world to witness. Her speech mentions several problems the world faces, especially in her home country of Kenya and all of Africa. She was an environmentalist and an activist who wanted to do more than offer a speech, but to provide a solution which she believed anyone would be able to contribute in. The speech, if the audience was not nearly as formal and Maathai’s approach was less memorized, could have made a far better impact than what it did. However, with the use of emotional appeal and taking advantage of her credibility, Wangari Muta Maathai delivered a speech well done for her needs to at the least mention what she believes is truly a situation which must be handled.

When I arrived on campus, just 22 months ago, I was astounded by the genuine Kent State University community that welcomed me with open arms and kind hearts. There was no better evidence of this than the unconditional and overwhelming support I have received over the last month. I continue to be deeply moved by the outpouring of thoughtful well wishes from so many students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni and community members. Your empathy and caring messages of encouragement remind me of just how grateful I am, and how fortunate we all are, to be part of this truly special

Bernard Harris was asked to deliver a commencement speech at WPI Graduation in 2015 for the graduates of Wocrester Poolytechnic Univeristy. From start to finish, Benards speech was well organized, backed by strong and exciting message to the graduates on how continue their way into the world after graduation. Humor is what carried the center stage in speech delivery, and the audience enjoyed the funny comments within the speech that were made by Bernard.

As UNLV Graduates its 2016 Spring class, its commencements speakers offer words of community and impact

In the recording of Emily's practice speech, she states that learning English is important because this will allow her to go to a university. Considering that both of her parents are attending graduate school and Emily is thinking about higher education at such a young age suggests that her motivation level is exceptionally high. Her home country, Korea, supports educational success through the idea that education defines one's socioeconomic status, health, and level of independence (asiasociety.org). Considering that her parents are both attending graduate school, they may have limited time to help Emily develop strong English skills in reading and writing. In addition to this, they are not learning the same English vocabulary that Emily needs

As you may already know, or will learn as I continue to post here, I am immensely proud to be a member of the Pace University community. I recently wrote about how honored I was to speak at the commencement for the class of 2015. Since earning both of my degrees in the ‘80s at Pace, I’ve always felt compelled to give back to the institution that gave me so much. Be it serving as an Adjunct Professor, Executive in Residence and/or a Lecturer in Residence, it is important to educate the young members of the Pace community just like I received at their age.
