Although we won\u2019t be able to recognize our graduates in person right now, we want to make sure that we find a way to help faculty and staff celebrate their students\u2019 achievements. To do this, we are compiling a video message from the Hudson Valley community that we hope to include in a live-streamed celebration of the Class of 2020 on Saturday, June 6.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how you can participate. Record on your mobile device a brief congratulatory message. You can upload your message <a href=\"https:\/\/hvcc0-my.sharepoint.com\/:f:\/g\/personal\/j_yost_hvcc_edu\/ErGcgKS19cNNs58U4QGExvYB2rME1lVJHRj-STf3nGewww?e=bV1mL4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The more who participate, the more the final video will make a powerful, positive impact.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We are especially interested in collecting messages from faculty members, department chairs and academic support staff who work directly with students.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are some simple guidelines to follow<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be positive!<\/li>\n<li>Be brief (15 seconds should be the maximum length of your message)<\/li>\n<li>Be creative!<\/li>\n<li>Be horizontal (if recording on your phone, hold it horizontally so all the messages are in the same format)<\/li>\n<li>Consider your lighting and your background. Lighting from the front works best.<\/li>\n<li>Feel free to say who you are and what program\/office you represent. You don&#8217;t have to if you prefer not to.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t focus on individual students by name, but feel free to focus on students from your department or program<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Some sample messages:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I\u2019m (Name) from the (Department) and I want to congratulate the graduating class from our program. You all worked hard to reach this goal and I\u2019m proud of you. Good luck, graduates!<\/li>\n<li>To the 2020 graduates of the (Department), good luck as you continue your education or move into a career. Stop back and see us sometime and let us know how you\u2019re doing!<\/li>\n<li>Hello, 2020 Graduates! I\u2019m here to give you a virtual high five!
