Second graduation today - the other half of my faculty.

Slightly different in that as it was the afternoon it was much warmer in the hall! Also, one of the departments is all research so they had no graduates. Just an hour instead of 90 minutes.

Sitting there does get you questioning just how much you contribute to their success. Not a lot is the answer most likely.

The sadness of today's event was one of the Heads of school making an utter mess of many of the foreign names. It seemed a shame for the students whose names were sometimes unrecognizable.

Perhaps I'm just biased having had the privilege of living in Nigeria for a year and then in Asia for a couple of years but Yoruba or Chinese names just don't hold the same mystery as they evidently did for this poor lady. Why can't they just get someone to do it who can get it right?
