A valedictorian gives a farewell and congratulatory speech addressed to the students, their guests, and the institution. There is one valedictorian or pair of co-valedictorians selected from the class of graduating students either for each ceremony or, more recently, one from each faculty; these valedictorians are given five minutes to address their peers. The valedictorians are selected by the students in the graduating class via an online election process.
Information about the valedictorian selection process.
