Bollinger makes a speech. Moody-Adams makes a speech. The dean of SEAS, Feniosky Peña-Mora, makes a speech. Kevin Shollenberger makes a speech. None of them actually says "welcome". There's a procession with lots of flags. Parents succumb to heat stroke.
Convocation is nowhere near as important as graduation. Some people don't even bother going. Still, if you're here with your parents, it serves as sort of a formal 'letting go' point for them as they leave you on your own to begin college. They'll be so proud of you!
