2024 Speeches

Lowell speeches are a historic Lowell tradition in which Lowell students deliver five-minute speeches after dinner in the Dining Hall during the first half of spring term. Each student speaker selects their own topic of personal significance to share with the Lowell community and works with a Lowell Senior Common Room mentor to write and deliver their speech. Read the Harvard Magazine story about our speeches here.

Speeches begin at 7:30 PM. Each speech night is coordinated by a speeches tutor: Georgia Stirtz, Chance Bonar, Bo Seo, Haim Moore, and Bes Bajraktarević. For more information, please email Georgia at gstirtz@g.harvard.edu.
