Orators
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.
A special thank you to the Department of Drama and Natasha Martina for their efforts in making this process a success.
