Hello!  (with a smile)\n\n:-)

When you walk into a room where people are already present (and you aren't crashing the room in any way), etiquette calls for someone already there to say hello to YOU, to WELCOME you.  However, etiquette aside, there is nothing wrong with you saying the first hello - or at least smiling.

It's a colleague, not a friend, so I would just keep it very simple.......\n\n"Congratulations on your new beginning"

I think it depends on the culture..For example in Germany if you to a party where you know noone except the host then it is polite to wait for the host to introduce you before you talk to anyone!\nHowever I think its a mixture of both..if the newcomer is shy or feels uneasy they might be weary on introducing themselves then i would make the effort to introduce myself and make them feel more at ease.\nIf you bring someone to a party as your guest where they know noone then it is your responsibility to introduce them.\ni think theres many different situations and sometimes you just have to rely on your gut on who should do the introducing!

a simple hello would be in order. Ignoring the person would be rude, since you do obviously have some history with them. No need to act like dear old friends, but a hi, how are you? never hurt anybody.

Here's an outline...add your own phrasing and word choices:\n--Gratitude for the opportunity to learn\n--Anticipation and the hope for positive chances in the future\n--Appreciation of the friends and associations made during the time in college\n--Request for guidance and maintaining open eyes and hearts for opportunity in the future\n\nYou want to make the opening and closing VERY generic... Start with a simple, "L-rd..." and go straight into the above. At the end, make it a simple "Amen."

This is called an idiom - an unexpected phrasing or a peculiarity of a language.  It is used in English to respond to a person who has expressed his gratitude to you, and indicates to him that he is not under any further obligation.  Said as a point of politeness.\n\nIt is based on the model of "welcome," as a short form of "you are well come," that is, "it is well that you came," that is, "hello, glad that you came."  So it means that your coming to me [for whatever it was] is well, is ok, is fine, and there is no charge, happy to do it, etc.\n\nSource is any dictionary, hardcover or online, at all.

I would say that some expressions rather than words are very useful for anybody,anywhere:\n\nThank you!\nPlease!\nGood morning!\nSorry!\n\nIf you try to speak the local language,even if it is just a few expressions,you will be welcome anywhere!

Be creative about it.  A lot of people start by introducing themselves.  I started mine with a quote from a poem.

C'est avec plaisir que j'accepte\nComptez sur moi pour cette fête\n\nIt's with pleasure that I accept, count on me to celebrate. \n\nHope it helps.\n\nPS: just correcting the spelling in the answer below in case you choose it:\n\nJ'aimerais vous voir à l'heure indiquée,\nMerci beaucoup de m'avoir invité.\n\n(invitée if you're a girl)

I always use something like:\n\n"I realize you are busy and do not have a lot of spare time. I just want to introduce myself...."\n\nMake the letter short and sweet.
