We gather here today to commend you graduates, to praise you, to congratulate you. That's what commencement ceremonies are designed to accomplish. Right? It's not just an event where people wear funny caps and creepy gowns in front of family members who are pre-scolded for their inevitable outbursts of celebratory noise when their graduate's name is called.
