Volunteer orators step up to the
microphone for the first time at the
University of Saskatchewan
Thirteen orators have been selected through an audition
process to read out the names of degree recipients as they
receive their parchments. The recruits hail from all parts
of campus and perform a wide range of roles throughout
the U of S, but all are gifted with resonant voices, fine
pronunciation skills and share a great attention to detail.
Though new to the University of Saskatchewan, the post
of university orator can be traced back hundreds of years
to universities in the United Kingdom such as Oxford and
Cambridge. Traditionally, orators served as the official voice
of the university, composing letters, giving speeches in
Latin at ceremonial occasions and presenting candidates
for honorary degrees.
Welcome University of Saskatchewan orators!
