This list of tid-bits is about convocation/graduation.

1. I enjoy attending to celebrate the students’ success

2. It’s nice to meet siblings, parents, and other loved ones

3. It’s also great to get that last photo of the grad

4. I’ve teared up at the last two ceremonies

5. As the student walks by I remember her/his work in the class and wish the student luck (silently)

6. Attending the ceremony is one of the best parts of my job each year

7. Did I mention that I also love my University of California regalia? The robes are beautiful

8. Two days a year (Nov and June) #UVIC looks like Hogwarts

9. This year I brought my phone and took some photos

10. I also tweeted from the ceremony, but only a few times
