 Welcome, or welcome back if you're a graduating student. It's wonderful to see you all here, although actually having said that, it's very hard to see you in the audience at our first graduation ceremony of 2012. My name's Paul Webley, I'm the director of SIAS. Now I've been an academic for 33 years now and I've attended dozens of degree ceremonies, but they still bring a lump to my throat and sometimes tears to my eyes. It really is a great experience to stand here and see the Logan Hall shimmering with pride. I've been a parent of a graduating student twice and I hope in three years to be one again. The last time was in 2007 and I can still remember the details of every graduation and it wasn't until I was a parent that I really appreciated what graduation ceremonies were about. You're here for your parents, you're going to have a wonderful time, so thank you. I'm delighted that we can share this special day with the family members and friends of graduating students across the world who are unable to make it today. The ceremony is being streamed live on the internet, so please don't pull any funny faces because the camera might be roaming around the audience. I'd just like to begin by introducing Dr Tim Miller, the chairman of the SIAS Governing Body. He's going to preside over today's ceremony. Tim has been a wonderful chairman of SIAS for the past four years. He's been incredibly generous, engaged, supportive and critical when needed. He's really wonderful. We're very delighted that he's agreed to continue as chairman for the next four years. I'm just going to pass over to him, over to you.
