I would say "wish us luck" but, frankly, I don't think its appropriate. Let them pass if they are **smart**. Otherwise, let them fail. A couple in particular amaze me that they were able to reach the final stage of this Diploma. If they are awarded Diplomas at all I question whether this college is, in fact, doing a good, professional job.
