The congregation ceremony will take place at the Ballroom in Holiday Villa, Johor Bahru and will follow the format of our traditional ceremonies.  We will, therefore, need to take some safety precautions to enable us to hold the ceremonies as safely as possible. 

These precautions include:

• The use of face mask is not compulsory, but it is highly encouraged to wear facemask while at crowded venue.
• Graduates will place their own hood before the ceremony (rather than having it placed over them during the ceremony) and will acknowledge the Presiding Officer with a nod of the head rather than a handshake 

Formal / Traditional

We are appointing a Student Orator from the Class of 2023 to deliver a short speech on behalf of the graduating cohort. If you are interested in applying for this role, you can click the following link: https://forms.office.com/e/7QzuRbCjDy 

Here's some guidance on your speech:

• Your speech should last about five minutes and be between 500 and 700 words in length.
• It needs to be positive and uplifting. Reflect on your time at NUMed Malaysia and talk about the graduation day and hopes for the future.
• Don't be too specific to your course or subject area. You may be speaking on behalf of graduates from different academic schools, as well as your own.
• You can mention how university life has benefitted you as a person, and students generally.
• It is fine to acknowledge the support given by family and friends, but don't include personal thanks and don't mention anyone by name.
• You can include anecdotes of your time at university but be sure the story is meaningful to the whole cohort and suitable for the audience, which will include senior members of the university as well as parents.
• Remember, you'll give your speech at the end of the ceremony, so you can refer to graduation in the past tense.
• When preparing your speech and practising your delivery, have a look at our videos of past ceremonies.

The deadline for applications is Wednesday, 31^st May 2023.

Auditions will be held at NUMed or via Zoom from 6^th June – 9^th June.
