[Agvisors] Request: Identifying Graduating Students to Interview

[Sykes-Casavant, Gabrielle - (gms)]

Hello advisors, graduate program coordinators:

As you aware, CALS is developing a combination of options to celebrate our May 2020 graduates – both graduate and undergraduate. CALS Landmark Stories and CALS Marketing are creating a dynamic virtual experience that will be live streamed on Friday, May 15, 2pm AZ time via the CALS Facebook page<https://www.facebook.com/uarizonaCALS>. We’re debuting on Facebook specifically because we want to encourage engagement, celebration, and sharing for graduates and their guests.
Part of the experience is a video that is currently under production. The video will include all the key features of the CALS Convocation – message from the Dean, a student speaker, recognition of Outstanding students, and individual recognition of all students graduating.

We’d also like to interview about 20-30 students via Zoom and feature them in a couple of segments in the video. The interview will reflect on their experience as a student (before and during the Covid-19 pandemic).
A request for you:

  *   We’re hoping that you could help us recommend/get in touch with a couple of students that come from a variety of backgrounds.
  *   Please use this very short form<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=BVXjXo7rKUmTfWRd9QEyiIlj9jQnHshEq6wEEk37XyZUMTBRVlhUUTlTUlBaNUlFT1NHVUwzTEQ4NiQlQCN0PWcu> to recommend students – we’re eager to hear from a variety of degrees, majors, etc. Sandra Westdahl (Landmark Stories/CALS producer) will then email them directly and schedule a time to record interviews with the students - via Zoom - on April 20 and 21.

Let me know if you have any questions at all. Thank you!

Gabrielle
