Good afternoon again. My name is Carlos Velez. I am dean of international programs and professor of psychology on behalf of the Middlebury College faculty and academic administration. I welcome you to our portion of the ceremony. This will be the opportunity for each of the graduates to be recognized for their accomplishments, and perseverance through an extraordinary time. Seniors, when your name is called, you will come forward and receive your cane and diploma case. As President Patton mentioned earlier, this part is also unrehearsed. That is patently obvious now.

The lyrics may be found on page 17 of the program. That’s supposed to some point you’re supposed to tap and it is Astroturf, so it’s not going to make the proper noise, but we’ll just imagine. Right. OK. Oh. Sam. All right, that concludes our ceremony. Thank you all for attending guests. Please allow the faculty and seniors to recess first. Enjoy your day and congratulations again.
