Taobh leis, tá an tOllamh Michael V. Duignan (Deánach Dhámh na nDán) le hainmneacha na réamhchéimithe a léamh amach. Ar an mbord tá Más na hOllscoile agus hata oifigiúil an Uachtaráin. Tugann an t-íomhá léargas beoga ar shearmanas Bronnta na hama sin, agus na céimithe agus a ngaolta, lucht féachana agus baill den fhoireann acadúil ar mhullach a chéile sa spás beag sin.
