Open for use by any UW staff or faculty involved with planning a virtual graduation celebration for their department or program, this resource serves as a space to share information and materials created by colleagues across the UW campuses.
We are looking for sample student surveys, graduation event plans, show flows, etc. If you are willing to share your resources here, please contact Aimee Kelly at aimeeap@uw.edu.
Looking to connect with others? Please join us on the UW Events Network Microsoft Team. There is a channel dedicated specifically to graduation events. If you are new to MS Teams you can learn more through UW-IT.
