From the audience analysis survey, some of my classmates want to enroll in graduate studies after their undergraduate program comes to an end.

A speech on why they need to choose Rutgers University matters to these individuals because, at some point, each will have to make a choice. |

There will also be instances of ethos. The first instance of ethos is me as a Rutgers student and the use of credible sources. |
