About Commencement Submissions
Graduates were invited to submit their own individual photo, brief statement and 10 second video clip.
Starting in January, we advised graduating seniors to expect emails from "StageClip" and Geneseo's events office asking for a photo, a statement, or a video for the virtual commencement. Since then, we have sent seven emails urging students to upload material for the ceremony. To allow time for video compilation and captioning, the submission deadline was May 12.
All graduating seniors are recognized in the virtual ceremony, regardless if they submitted materials.
