Since a few of her required courses were  not offered online, caring faculty and instructional technology staff arranged for her to attend class and seek advisement through videoconferencing.<\/p>\n<p>So, it made perfect sense that Maurissa would attend Commencement 2012 via videoconferencing since she couldn&#8217;t be in town for the ceremony. &#8220;Maurissa, I told you earlier this spring we would find a way for you to attend graduation. Congratulations!,&#8221; President Drew Matonak said to a beaming Maurissa seen on the &#8220;big screen&#8221; in the Joseph L. Bruno Stadium during the May 19 event.<\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong>The  Instructional Technologies Department once again pushed the  boundaries at this  year\u2019s Commencement, conducting a live video conference with Maurissa &#8212; at home in Virginia &#8212; during this year&#8217;s ceremony. Maurissa was able to participate using  Jabber, desktop videoconferencing software, to see  and hear the  ceremony. During the President&#8217;s remarks,  Maurissa, in her cap  and gown, was seen by all on the stadium&#8217;s Jumbotron.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/jenkins2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-16549\" title=\"jenkins\" src=\"http:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/jenkins2-300x186.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"186\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Tue, 22 May 2012 11:45:15 +0000 by\u00a0d.gardner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Maurissa Jenkins, a 2012 recipient of an A.A.S. degree in Health Information Management and Technology, did not let multiple&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3211","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-accolades"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2086"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3211"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3211\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3211"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3211"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
