STUDENT SPEAKER TRYOUTS
You can sign up now for the tryouts to be the Student Speaker at your graduation ceremony and be honored to represent all your peers.
This year’s topic will be: READY FOR THE FUTURE
For all interested applicants, please find HERE a one-pager covering what is expected from your speech.
For the tryouts, we ask you to prepare a 4-minute speech on the topic presented. You don’t need to send us this speech before the audition; just prepare it and memorize it as much as possible.
Whoever wishes to audition, please fill out THIS FORM.
The deadline to apply is Friday, October 31st at 12 pm (noon). After this date, we will send the signed-up students' further details regarding the audition process and the date and location of the tryouts.
Do you have glossophobia, the fear of public speaking? You’re not alone; around 65% of people worldwide experience it.
But here’s the truth: being a great public speaker is a key skill for any future leader. Communication builds trust, credibility, and influence - the foundation of effective leadership.
Join us for “The Voices of Authority”, hosted by the IE Public Speaking Club and IE Business School, and learn how to lead with your voice.
Your Graduation Ceremony is coming up on December 18th at the IE Tower Auditorium!
Sections S1, S2 & S3, your ceremony will take place at 11:00 AM
Sections S4 & S5, your ceremony will take place at 4:00 PM
🌐 The Graduation Website is now live with all the key details about your ceremony, including schedules, venue information, and FAQs.
Be sure to register yourself and up to three guests by October 30th (23:55h). You will be able to edit the names of already registered guests until December 4th (23:55h), but any guests not registered by October 30th cannot be added or edited afterward.
💡 Reminders:
If you don’t yet know your guests’ names, register them as “Guest X.” You can edit these later only if they were registered before the deadline.
If you’re looking for extra tickets, check with classmates who might not be using all of theirs. They can simply add your guest’s information to their registration form.
🚫 Selling tickets is strictly prohibited. If anyone offers to sell a guest ticket, please report it to imbagraduation@ie.edu.
📸 You’ll be asked to upload a professional, good-quality photo of yourself. This image will be displayed on the ceremony screens, so make it count!
