Part II Graduation Ceremonies

REMINDERS:

We are about to begin the Commencement Exercises.

During the ceremonies, we would like to remind the audience to refrain from applauding or
clapping unless given the signal to do so. Please be reminded also to turn off your cell phones.
Likewise, we have official photographers for picture-taking. Hence the guests must refrain

INTRODUCTION:

Commencement – a word of French origin which means beginning. Indeed, there is a good reason
they call ceremonies, commencement exercises. Graduation is not the end it is the beginning.
