Graduation
Dear Amber and Holli,
On behalf of the Commencement Committee, it is my pleasure to invite you to speak on behalf of the fall graduating class of 2007 at the Dakota State University Commencement ceremony on December 16. This honor is traditionally granted to graduates with a high level of leadership and service to the campus. You have both been chosen based on your academic and leadership performance as a Dakota State student.
If you are willing to accept this invitation, I will send you several examples of remarks prepared by graduates in previous years. I suggest you coordinate the organization of your speech so you are not duplicating comments. It would be helpful to receive a copy of the remarks by December 10 in order to include them in the Commencement script. The file can be sent electronically to me at *censored!*. A copy of your resume or brief list of your DSU activities and accomplishments would also be helpful in preparing the script.
Please contact me via email or by phone at *censored!* to let me know whether or not you are willing to speak or if you have any questions. Congratulations on your accomplishments at DSU and best wishes as you graduate!
In hopes of being way more awesome than Bryce’s commencement speech, any ideas?

Wow, that is awesome! You should copy Bryce’s. That would be funny :)

Wow, Holli, congrats! Though how can you compete without Schwans or the police to talk about.

Wow! My hero.

Congrats, sweetie! I guess that makes me the only one who didn’t get to speak at my graduation…

Cool! Please make sure it’s on video, can’t wait to see it! I suggest submitting Bryce’s speech, hard copy, with red marker “edits” aka…turning everything Marshall to Madison, etc. A coffee stain would also be a nice touch.

Wow. That is so awesome! Please please record it because I want to be able to see it. Yours will probably be a bit more “professional” and “appropriate” and probably have no mention of impressing my mother. Which should only help the speech.

Great job Holli. I have a feeling it will have a bit of a different air about it than Bryce’s was. After all you haven’t gotten arrested lately or any thing like that. Miles, don’t feel bad. Your accolades come in many other ways. We love both of you.

Coolest…ever? You’re an inspiration.

You should have told them you were too busy with the wedding, but thanks for the honor. Just Kidding! Congrats and good luck. Charm them with your Holli-ness. For help with that, watch You Me and Dupree. Owen Wilson can explain to you what your -ness is.

I didn’t get to talk at my graduation either. :( You’re too cool for me.
