A final reminder to those who are graduating - if you would like to give the student speech (maximum length 5 minutes), you must turn in a printed version tomorrow, by 3 pm in the UAO. Here is the detail. Each spring, the MCB Department holds auditions for the undergraduate Commencement speaker. The audition is open to all MCB seniors participating in Commencement. At the audition, speakers stand before an audience of MCB peers, staff, and faculty to present their own Commencement speech. After hearing all the speeches, the audience convenes to compare notes and select the person who will best represent the graduating class at Commencement. Selection Criteria The speeches will be evaluated on the following: Content: The content should be entertaining, meaningful, and easy to follow. It should appeal to all MCB students regardless of emphasis, as well as to families and faculty. Successful speeches of past years have focused on the MCB, rather than Berkeley, experience. Presentation: The delivery should be engaging and appropriate to the occasion. The speaker should be easy to hear and understand, as well as rehearsed and comfortable speaking in front of very large audiences. Length: The actual speech cannot be longer than five minutes to the second. To Audition: Sign up to audition by bringing a copy of your speech to the MCB Undergraduate Affairs Office (2083 VLSB) by Thursday, April 27 at 3 PM. Your audition time will be confirmed via e-mail. Auditions will be held on Tuesday, May 2, 2006 from 3:30-5 pm in 2040 VLSB -- ^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^ Anne Aaboe phone: (510) 643-7473 Undergraduate Advising Manager fax: (510) 643-2208 Molecular & Cell Biology email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2083 Valley Life Sciences, #3200 web: mcb.berkeley.edu/undergrad Berkeley, CA 94720 ---------------------------------------------------------------- The above message does not necessarily represent the views or opinions of MCBcDNA, mcbUSA, the MCB Department, or UC Berkeley.
