[COUGH] On behalf of the Middlebury College faculty and academic administration, it’s my huge pleasure and honor to welcome you to our portion of this ceremony.

And I hope that we’ll all join in that celebration for the next few minutes. When I call you forward, please come and receive your cane and diploma. And remember, for each step of the ceremony that as President Patton mentioned, none of this has been rehearsed. And so if things begin to go south we’ll roll with it.
