Senior Information

Dear Seniors,

Thanks to all MechE. seniors who attended Monday’s info session.  We’ll need a core group of seniors to work on the 2014 senior video for the commencement ceremony to be shown on May 25 in Bailey Hall.  Here is the 2013 M.E. senior video:Class of 2013 Senior Video (thanks to Owen Dong, Kristen Reynolds, and Andre Bergeron)

For commencement ticket info and awards to be presented at Bailey Hall, consult the mae website, http://www.mae.cornell.edu/academics/graduation.cfm

We’ll also need someone to be in charge of an efficient way to collect photos for the slide show which will appear as students and guests enter and leave Bailey Hall.   A slide show with music will need to be created.

Original music would be great for the slide show and the video.
