About: Valedictorian

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Valedictorian is an academic title for the highest-performing student of a graduating class of an academic institution. The valedictorian is commonly determined by a numerical formula, generally an academic institution's grade point average (GPA) system, but other methods of selection may be used or factored in such as community service or extra-curricular activity. The term is an Anglicised derivation of the Latin vale dicere ("to say farewell"), historically rooted in the valedictorian's traditional role as the final speaker at the graduation ceremony commencement before the students receive their diplomas. The valedictory address, also known as the valediction, is generally considered a final farewell to classmates, before they disperse to pursue their individual paths after graduating.

dbo:abstract
  • Valedictorian es una calificación académica que se otorga al estudiante que da el discurso final o de «despedida»,​ en el sistema escolar de los Estados Unidos, Filipinas y Canadá, en la ceremonia de graduación. El término es la anglicización del término latino vale dicere («decir adiós»). (es)
  • Le terme valedictorian désigne un titre académique attribué aux meilleurs étudiants des écoles et universités américaines. Le terme est un anglicisme dérivé du latin vale dicere, « faire ses adieux ». C'est au valedictorian que revient l'honneur de prononcer le discours de clôture de la cérémonie de remise des diplômes qui sanctionne la fin du cursus universitaire. Ce discours est en général l'occasion de faire un dernier adieu aux jeunes diplômés qui se disperseront ensuite au gré de leurs carrières respectives. On retrouve le terme valedictorian aux Philippines et au Canada. Par contre, en Australie, Nouvelle-Zélande, Afrique du Sud, Islande ou en Écosse, on parle plutôt de « dux » , issu du latin, signifiant « meneur, chef » en français. Son équivalent en France est le major de promotion. (fr)

The valedictory address, also known as the valediction, is generally considered a final farewell to classmates, before they disperse to pursue their individual paths after graduating. In Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Scotland, Ireland, and India the title valedictorian is not used frequently. In Australia, the title is sometimes awarded to a member of a graduating university class on the basis of a contribution to the school rather than academic success. The highest-ranking student in a graduating class is often referred to as dux (Latin for "leader"), and may or may not give a speech. In France the term Major de promotion ("first in class") is used, although the term is not related to any ceremonial role, as there are rarely graduation ceremonies in schools or universities. (en)
  • Valedictorian è un titolo accademico che nel sistema scolastico degli Stati Uniti, delle Filippine e del Canada viene conferito allo studente che tiene il discorso conclusivo (ossia "di commiato") alla cerimonia di consegna dei diplomi di maturità o di laurea. Il termine è un'anglicizzazione del termine latino vale dicere ("dire addio"). (it)
  • Valedictorian (Engels, uit het Latijn: valedicere, vaarwel zeggen) is een, voornamelijk aan Amerikaanse, Canadese en Filipijnse universiteiten en scholen gebruikelijke titel om de beste student onder de pas afgestudeerden mee aan te duiden. De valedictorian houdt tijdens de afstudeerceremonie, de graduation, de afscheidstoespraak, de valediction. In Australië, Nieuw-Zeeland, Zuid-Afrika, IJsland en Schotland wordt dux (Lat. aanvoerder, leider) gebruikt, het Franse equivalent is major de promotion. De term primus omnium (Lat. beste van allen) werd tot in de jaren dertig aan Duitse universiteiten gebruikt, maar is sindsdien in onbruik geraakt. De selectieprocedure verschilt van universiteit tot universiteit, maar is meestal gebaseerd op gemiddelde cijfers. Ondanks het feit dat de functie louter ceremonieel is, is zij felbegeerd en studenten zijn ervan beschuldigd vals te spelen om de eer in de wacht te slepen. (nl)
