Thank you to all of you who have submitted suggestions for our commencement speaker. We've received many great suggestions. While almost all of the people submitted would make excellent speakers, we have narrowed down the list for the purpose of this ballot in order to ensure appreciable margins of votes between the candidates. The candidates included on this ballot have been chosen on the basis of the feasibility of getting them to speak here, their previous experience as public speakers, and their appeal to a broad audience. From February 28th to March 3rd, the Class of 2001 will vote for the
people on
this list who they would like to see at their commencement. The commencement committee
will then submit the results of this vote to President Gillis. Please review the candidate bios and vote for your top three suggestions. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail gradspkr@rice.edu. Thank you.
