Commencement Congratulations - Submit a video

Cheer on the class of 2020 as they graduate on Saturday, December 19!

Please take a few moments to create a 10 second (approximately) video to express your congratulations to this semester's graduates!

Video ideas:

  • Fun and informal congratulations
  • Your best advice to our grads
  • Greetings in your language (please provide translation)
  • A favorite inspirational quote
  • Get creative!

Take this opportunity to celebrate and honor our students' hard work.

Video Creation Tips

  • Record your digital thank you videos using your smartphone, digital camera, the Camera app on your PC, the QuickTime app on your Mac, etc.
  • If possible, record your video in landscape orientation (placing your device horizontally so the video is wider than it is tall).
  • If you are using a phone or digital camera, place the device on a stable surface or tripod during recording.
  • Record in a quiet location where you can be clearly heard.
  • Pick a location with good lighting – for example, do not sit with your back to a bright light or window.
