What's the statement

that a dean or head of college makes in the welcome ceremony for the new students?
I just really need the word here but have NO clue what it is.
Would somebody, please?

While most speeches of welcome will convey roughly the same message, no two are identical. The only thing they will all probably have in common is the word 'welcome'.

So that means I can just make up the term however I want as long as it includes the word "welcome"?:)
I just presumed that since this speech is a requisite of the convocation at EVE

Oh no. My diploma must be invalid. My university didn't start this way.

Seriously, where did you get such an idea?

Just call it a "welcome speech." (Also "fixed expression" or "common term," not "fixated term.")

Hi

Here is the opening sentence for a graduation ceremony. It's not quite the same thing, but the form would be similar for new students:

- It is my pleasure to welcome you all - graduates, parents, guardians, friends and families - to the Ceremony of Awards 2013

Far from it.
I just need a term for that specific speech
Barb has already suggested 'Welcome speech'

That's fine, but I'd go for 'Welcoming address.
