SSU COMMENCEMENT CEREMONIES STREAMED ONLINE?

this school has really jumped on the technology bandwagon. just received an email saying that this year's commencement ceremonies will be streamed online for friends and family who are unable to attend. i've never heard of such a thing before. you might want to bookmark the address for next year when i'll be graduating since i know not all y'all will be able to make it. this is some crazy stuff.

below you can read the email for yourself. this is definitely some crazy stuff.


SSU: Commencement Ceremonies

eMemo


May 10, 2004


TO: All Students

FR: Anne Handley, Commencement Coordinator

RE: Commencement 2004


As you are probably aware, Commencement takes place this year on Saturday, May 22. Those students who are graduating may want to review the Commencement Web site for information. It can be found at http://www.sonoma.edu/uaffairs/commencement/index.html

Please pay particular attention to the Graduates' Handbook where many questions about Commencement are answered.

This year, for the first time, both Commencement ceremonies (10 a.m. and 3 p.m.) will be Webcast. For friends and family who will not be attending, this is a good way for them to view the event online. The Webcast will be archived, so it can be viewed at a later date as well. Please bookmark http://streaming.sonoma.edu/ for viewing the Commencement ceremonies.

Additionally, for those guests who find the heat of the day too intense or for some other reason need to be indoors, we will be screening the Webcast in the Multi-Purpose Room of the Student Union during the ceremonies. The room only holds approximately 100 chairs so seating is limited and should be reserved for those who have a true need.

Congratulations to those students who are graduating and best wishes to all SSU students.
