The Issue

Utah Valley University (UVU) is known for its diverse and talented student body, as well as its commitment to providing quality education and memorable experiences for its graduates. However, this year we are missing an essential part of the graduation ceremony, a commencement speaker. This is a significant event for our graduates, and having an inspiring speaker can make it even more special and unforgettable.

Post Malone, renowned musician and a figure of inspiration to many, is an ideal candidate for this role. Not only is he a unique and successful artist, but he also has a deep connection with Utah, as he resides in the state. His journey, marked by creativity and determination, resonates with students who are on the verge of entering a world where innovation and perseverance are key to success.

Having Post Malone as our commencement speaker would provide graduates with invaluable insights into the realities of pursuing one’s passions against odds. As a self-made artist who rose to fame with his distinctive style and hard work, his story is a testament to pursuing dreams and redefining success. His presence and inspirational words could tremendously motivate our students to chase their aspirations with courage and tenacity.

Furthermore, Post Malone's influence extends beyond music. He is known for his charitable work and positive impact on the community. His participation in our commencement ceremony could bring widespread attention to UVU, enhancing the institution's reputation and appealing to prospective students interested in a dynamic and celebrated environment.

We believe that securing Post Malone as our commencement speaker will not only elevate the ceremony but also provide a unique experience that aligns with UVU's values of inclusivity, creativity, and ambition. Let us seize this opportunity to offer our graduates the most enriching start to their post-collegiate journey.

Please join us in advocating for Post Malone as Utah Valley University's commencement speaker by signing this petition. Together, we can make this milestone event truly exceptional for our graduates.
