I was really excited and honored to be able to participate in your graduation yesterday! It was a wonderful ceremony - somewhat in need of more creativity - but still a nice traditional occasion. I want to tell all of you who graduated how proud I am of you and honored to have been able to have met you and worked with you during the past nine months. You are awesome!
My only regret was that I could not meet your parents and see from where you came!! Anyway, it was fun and now for those of you who are looking for the full time gig or an internship, it is time to move in to high gear, unless you want to take a summer and have fun before you work for the rest of your lives!

Thanks Charlie,
It was an honor and a pleasure to get to work under someone of your experience, talent, and stature. I am absolutely convinced that my book would have been a ho-hum affair had you not gotten involved in the AAU's program.
I also was disappointed that my parents were unable to meet you. Given the structure of the program, perhaps future graduate groups should plan to all have a post-ceremony lunch at the same location so that you can make your rounds to the various tables.
On a side note - did anyone notice instead of "recessional" the graduation program ended in "recession"? I was amused.
