Script for Graduation Ceremony

Opening(Cris): The great Shonda Rhimes once said “Dreams are lovely. But they are just
dreams. Fleeting, ephemeral, pretty. But dreams do not come true just because you dream them.
It is hard work that makes things happen. It is hard work that creates change.”

Janice: A pleasant afternoon to one and all. It gives us immense pleasure to welcome you all to
the graduation ceremony. This is a much-awaited event in every student’s lives, as it gives the
returns to the efforts put in by the students throughout their academic endeavor.
