Student orators
Could you represent the Class of 2025 at your graduation, and leave a lasting impression of your time at York?
At each graduation ceremony in 2025, there will be an opportunity for a graduating student to give a personal message to their classmates, family and friends.
This could be you! We hope it will be an unforgettable experience - and one which could enhance your CV.
If you’re selected as a student orator, you’ll be awarded a certificate in recognition of your contribution.
