Seniors: Commencement Ceremony Slide Show for May 2014

We would like someone to coordinate the collection of photos for a slideshow to be screened in Bailey Hall at the May 25th MAE Commencement Ceremony.  We’ll need someone to create the slideshow and add music.  This will be shown as guests and students enter Bailey Hall and exit Bailey Hall.  Please let Nanette know if there are any students who would like to coordinate this effort.  You may want to incorporate short (approx. 10-20 second videos) into this mix.
