I had all 4 of my parents, one set of grandparents, and a few friends. They had no idea what was happening but it was so good to look up and see them blindly rooting for me. And they heard congrats Dr P with me the for the 1st time :)

That's the part where I want them there. I think the committee goes out of the room usually, so I may just say, "come in after."

My committee kicked me out and i waited in the hallway, then they came out and my chair shook my hand and congratulated me and we all cried and I may be tearing up now typing this. Such a great moment. Make it yours no matter what that means to you.
