Faculty deadline for commencement videos is now May 10

May 7, 2020

Carla Browning

The UAF commencement team is asking faculty who are interested in submitting a video for the virtual commencement to do so no later than May 10. This is a change from what was previously communicated, but gives our team a time to process them.

The videos will be included in the virtual ceremony at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 23. The event will be broadcast via Facebook and will provide graduates with an opportunity to share this moment with family, friends and the academic community. You'll be able to congratulate in the comments when your students' names are announced.


  • Let us know you'll be participating.

  • Record and send us video by May 10 to be included in the virtual gauntlet. We'll be compiling the videos into one video, so they should be no more than 10-15 seconds and shot horizontally.

  • Stay connected by following the Facebook event.

  • Sign up to be a class ambassador and receive a tool kit with other ideas for celebrating this year’s graduating class.

  • Watch Facebook for the event premiere at 1 p.m. on May 23, and congratulate your students in the comments.

We hope you’ll join us!
