Subject: [uacommunicators] Graduation Stories


Hi everyone,



This is our annual call for good graduation stories from your colleges and departments. We are planning our coverage leading up to Commencement, which will take place on Friday, May 10.



We are looking for truly exceptional students (can be undergraduate or graduate level) in the Class of 2019. In addition to your academic high achievers, here are a few ideas that usually make for compelling stories:

§  Volunteers / Active in community outreach

§  Research participation (Were they published? Even better!)

§  First-generation graduates

§  Human interest, i.e. overcoming challenges

§  Global element, either international student or studied/interned abroad



We’ve already had one local media request for graduates fitting these specific criteria:

·         A graduate unusual for their age, i.e. 95-year-old grandmother or grandfather

·         First college graduate in family history

·         Graduating in 2.5 years (fast track)

·         Battled homelessness or other challenges and still got through school

·         Dad and daughter getting degrees together



Please bring your ideas to our Friday news meetings or email them to Stacy at spigott at arizona.edu<mailto:spigott at arizona.edu> as soon as possible. We’ll accept story ideas through Friday, April 5.
