Alumni Congratulations

Wilbur and Wilbur Congratulations

Wildcat Alumni, Help Us Congratulate the Class of 2024!

 

Hello Wildcat Alumni,

We would love to ask your help in congratulating the Class of 2024 with a video that will be played at this year's graduation ceremony. Most of these students didn't get an in-person high school graduation. So we are trying to make this celebration extra special for them. Just use your smartphone to record a short video with the script provided below. We will be editing all the videos voices into one track to create a resounding chorus of congratulations to all our future Wildcat alumni.

 

Please Use the Following Script

Hi! I’m [say your name], Class of [year], and I am so excited to say
CONGRATULATIONS Wildcat Class of 2024!
[pause]
Bear Down, Go Cats!!!

Example Completed Script

Hi! I’m Wilbur, Class of 1959, and I am so excited to say
CONGRATULATIONS Wildcat Class of 2024!

Bear Down, Go Cats!!!

Alumni Group Script

We’re the BayCats from San Francisco, and we are so excited to say
CONGRATULATIONS Wildcat Class of 2024!
[pause]
Bear Down, Go Cats!!!

 

Video guidelines:

  • Record as a horizontal (or landscape) video in a high-resolution setting.
  • Upload an .mp4 or .mov file (most cameras use these formats). 
  • Make sure you have good lighting and there is no distracting noise like wind or traffic.
  • Use a background that reflects you and/or your location. Plants, photos, textures are all great! Try to avoid plain walls for a backdrop.

If you would like to create a longer message, we would love that as well. Here’s what you could say:

  • What you wish for the 2024 class, or your college. What is your best advice?
  • Something you remember from your own commencement.
  • A favorite memory you have from your time at the University of Arizona.  
     

If a video is not possible, we will happily take a photo. Any way you want to show your support for future fellow alumni would be greatly appreciated.

 

Please submit HERE by Friday, May 3

 

If you have any questions or concerns about recording or submitting your videos, please contact ceremonies@arizona.edu.
