If you were a PERSON who did this, you'd be fired. You probably would never have been hired in the first place. This is typically where a faculty member would do the reading... Hashtag YOUHADONEJOB

Depends in your university. A friend of mine studied at the university in Vienna, Austria. There were also graduation ceremonies (called "Sponsionsfeier". In Vienna there are also a lot of people from all around the world and the master of ceremonies wasn't able to correctly pronounce most of the names - with exception of German names. So half of the ceremony consisted of a "guess what person he is calling" game.
