Valedictorian / Kappa Gamma Pi

Valedictorian

The valedictorian is the student who has the honor and the responsibility of delivering a message to fellow graduates. While traditionally the valedictorian has been selected on the basis of academic excellence (a minimum of a 3.70 GPA is required) and instructional involvement, the role also calls for a graduate who has meaningful message that is well prepared for delivery.

Applications, nominations and the draft of the address must be submitted to the McNichols Campus Student Center Building, Room 101, Dean of Students/ Student Affairs office.
