MAE Virtual Commencement FAQ’s & Tips

By bagoins

Frequently Asked Questions:

 

Can i share the zoom link with family and friends?

 

  • Our 2020 graduates will receive a link to access the commencement ceremony. The graduate Zoom link is NOT to be shared and is intended for MAE graduates only. As Zoom limits the number of participants, a Youtube link will be posted and shared for friends and family viewing. The Zoom and Youtube streaming will be live and simultaneously connected with one another, so friends and family won’t miss a thing.

 

How will graduates be recognized during commencement?
  • Graduates’ names will be displayed on-screen in a presentation format and called​ during the ceremony. Graduates are encouraged to check their Privacy Settings in MyPack Portal to ensure that their names will be shown during the ceremony. See the ​details here.

 

Will there be a program?
  • A downloadable, printable commencement program will be made available on the day of the ceremony​ and will include the list of graduates’ names. Graduates are encouraged to check their Privacy Settings in MyPack Portal to ensure that their names will be listed in the program.See the ​details here.
