To help you and your family and friends enjoy Commencement to the fullest extent, English, Chinese, and Spanish texts of the program and all speeches have been created and are available for download to follow along with the ceremony. Technical limitations prevent us from being able to offer English and foreign language subtitles on the live show, but they will be available immediately following the live ceremony on the YouTube video of Commencement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While small, we hope these things help in your enjoyment of the 2020 Bates Commencement. The Commencement team offers special thanks to the Bates faculty who helped prepare these foreign language translations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you, and enjoy the ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/files\/2020\/05\/COMM-2020-speeches-chinese_052920.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"203\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/files\/2020\/05\/COMM-2020-speeches-chinese_052920-1-203x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/files\/2020\/05\/COMM-2020-speeches-chinese_052920-1-203x300.png 203w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/files\/2020\/05\/COMM-2020-speeches-chinese_052920-1-608x900.png 608w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/files\/2020\/05\/COMM-2020-speeches-chinese_052920-1.png 729w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/files\/2020\/05\/COMM-2020-speeches-chinese_052920.pdf\">Chinese<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/files\/2020\/05\/COMM-2020-speeches-english_052920.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"203\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/files\/2020\/05\/COMM-2020-speeches-english_052920-1-203x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/files\/2020\/05\/COMM-2020-speeches-english_052920-1-203x300.png 203w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/files\/2020\/05\/COMM-2020-speeches-english_052920-1-608x900.png 608w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/files\/2020\/05\/COMM-2020-speeches-english_052920-1.png 730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/files\/2020\/05\/COMM-2020-speeches-english_052920.pdf\">English<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/files\/2020\/05\/COMM-2020-speeches-spanish_052920.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"203\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/files\/2020\/05\/COMM-2020-speeches-spanish_052920-1-203x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/files\/2020\/05\/COMM-2020-speeches-spanish_052920-1-203x300.png 203w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/files\/2020\/05\/COMM-2020-speeches-spanish_052920-1-608x900.png 608w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/files\/2020\/05\/COMM-2020-speeches-spanish_052920-1.png 729w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/commencement\/files\/2020\/05\/COMM-2020-speeches-spanish_052920.pdf\">Spanish<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Order of Exercises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opening<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy Spirit Be Joyful,\u201d by J.S.
