Graduation Ceremony Tickets

The ceremony was overall alright, however, one thing that irked me was that the main presenter of the platform party (I believe the dean?) read his entire speech directly from a script without looking up once. During my time at NAIT we were told that this would never be acceptable in any professional capacity, and I lost marks in many classes due to so much as checking a notes sheet. Further, it implies that the Dean hired a scriptwriter to write their speech for them, and did not take the time to practice or prepare ahead of time. One of the main tenants that we were told to care about in our lives is to never present someone else's work as our own, and to have NAIT staff flaunt that at us after spending so much money seems a bit... off.
