6. Valedictory address Valediction - a farewell oration (formal speech); the act of saying farewell
The valedictory address, or valediction, is the closing or farewell statement delivered at a graduation ceremony. It is an oration at commencement exercises in Canadian and U.S. high schools, colleges, and universities delivered by one of the graduates. The mode of discourse generally is inspirational and persuasive.
The various aims of this address are to inspire the graduates and to thank individuals responsible for their successes while reflecting on youthful frivolity (lack of seriousness) and the accomplishments of the class.
Above all, however, the primary aim of the valedictory address is to allow a representative of the graduating class to bid a final farewell to the students and to the school, as the graduates prepare to disperse and to begin the next phase of their lives.
