Sample Graduation Script

Preparation, organization and collaboration are the keys for a

successful event. Based from the gathered data, I made an
outline to guide the host for a smooth flow of the program.
Take note of the following:
There should always be program guidelines and script to be
used in any events for a clear transition;
There should be appropriate adjectives prepared in
introducing the speakers.
For the speakers & hosts:
Establish eye contact with the audience as often as possible;
Voice should be well modulated (not squeaky, low or loud);
Be optimistic and smile from the heart. =)
May this script be helpful enough.
