Each speaker will have 8 minutes at the microphone. The speaker will receive a warning when there is one minute remaining, and a final warning when there are thirty seconds remaining. The warning will be a beep. After 8 minutes have elapsed, the microphone will be shut off until the next speaker comes on stage. There will be a two-minute break between speakers.
Each speaker should approach the stage 10 minutes prior to their scheduled speaking time and check in with the speaker manager at the side of the stage. Your eight minutes of speaking time begin promptly at your scheduled time. If you are late coming to the podium, you will forfeit the time you are late. Your speaking slot ends eight minutes after you are scheduled to begin.
There will be a ten minute break at the end of each hour.
The University will not regulate the content of any speech and the general University rules governing demonstrations and public assembly will apply. The Nassau County Police Department is also present to ensure compliance with New York State, County and local laws.
