I'm Steve Lerman, it's my honor and privilege to be the Provost of the George Washington University. Will all of you please rise and join me in welcoming the graduating class of the George Washington University. [Playing pomp and circumstance] PROVOST LERMAN: Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming the faculty of the George Washington University! PROVOST LERMAN: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the George Washington University Board of Trustees, Chairman Russ Ramsey, President Steven Knapp, members of the administration, and our very special awardees and honorees escorted today by the GW Police Department Honor Guard. PROVOST LERMAN: On behalf of all my colleagues on the stage and my colleagues throughout the university, I am delighted to welcome all of you to the spring commencement in this 192nd year of the George Washington University. Please join me and stand. We will begin our ceremony with the presentation of the colors and the national anthem sung by the university singers. We will remain standing for the invocation by Reverend Beverly Dempsey and the retiring of the colors. Oh say can you see By the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed At the twilight's last gleaming Whose broad stripes and bright stars Through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched Were so gallantly streaming And the rockets red glare The bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there Oh, say does that star spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free And the home of the brave! REVEREND DEMPSEY: Grace and peace to you all.
