Family & Friends Content Submission
Commencement 2025 Content Submission is now open!
Family and Friends of the Class of 2025 — We want to feature you in Commencement!
To make the ceremony both meaningful and fun, we are asking family and friends to submit photos and videos to be included in this year’s ceremony. Submit your short video and/or photos. Please review the following information before submitting your content.
Video Upload
Record a video responding to one or more of the prompts below. You can submit as many responses as you’d like. Please keep your responses brief so we can incorporate as many as possible into the video.
Start your video by stating to which prompt(s) you’re responding and then pause for a few seconds before recording your response.
Prompts:
- Give an excited, lively shoutout to your graduate and/or the class of 2025.
- What does it mean to YOU to see your graduate reach this milestone?
- Hold up your favorite picture of your grad and tell us how proud you are of them.
- Share any additional photos or videos from your campus visits or your grad’s time at Hopkins.
- Get creative! Feel free to shoot your video outdoors, add confetti, balloons, streamers, and anything else to make your message really stand out and put a big smile on your graduate’s face!
Video Guidelines:
- Video should be between 15-30 seconds.
- Film your video horizontally, not vertically.
- Avoid recording in loud environments or outside on a windy day.
- Use a window as a fill light source and avoid having the window directly behind you.
- Name your file as follows: studentfirsttname_studentlastname
