Congratulations on your upcoming graduation! We want to celebrate you!

​​​​​Global Graduation Celebration! 

The Global Graduation Celebration will be a virtual, asynchronous video project to celebrate graduating international students and showcase their accomplishments throughout their time at DePaul! 

All international students are invited to submit recordings where they share: 

• Name 
• Home Country 
  
• Area of study/ major 
  
• Why they're proud to be a DePaul graduate 
• Plans for the future 

Students will submit this video, a photo of themselves, and the answers to these questions into our Google Form 

Our team will compile all submissions into a video and share it with the Global DePaul community. 

Tips for a good video! 

• Have another person in your household record your video message or use a tripod/household item to hold your phone while recording.  
• Elevate the camera to at least eye level or above for the most pleasing angle. 
• Rotate the phone horizontally to shoot widescreen. 

• Use your phone's rear-facing camera. Do not use the front-facing “selfie" camera. 
• Take the video from the front so we can see your face. Do not shoot from behind. 
• Frame yourself from the shoulders up, tilt the camera so your eyes are in the upper third of the screen (not directly in the center of the screen). 
• Position windows and lights in front of you. Avoid bright lights and windows behind you or directly above your head. 
• Try to hold the camera as steady as possible or rest it on a stack of books. 

• Allow a few seconds of recording at the beginning and end to allow for editing. 

(For example, press record, pause 3-2-1, deliver your lines. Then when you're done, freeze for a count of 3-2-1, then stop recording.)
