UMPI Virtual Ceremony No Pic or Quote

[AboNad]

Hey all. Happy Virtual Graduation Day!

I just wanted to check in and see if anyone else is experiencing similar issues. Due to financial constraints, I wasn't able to fly out for the in-person ceremony, so I opted for virtual. I submitted my pic/quote for the virtual graduation ceremony that was to be released on UMPI's YouTube page today and was pretty sad to see that neither were listed, only my name, degree, and distinction.

We were planning a graduation celebration coming up in a couple of weeks when all family could be present, but it was disappointing to not see the pic/quote on the screen.


I did shoot Lisa an email and asked if something maybe happened or didn't get approved? Idk.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Original title: UMPI Computer Science and Cybersecurity Virtual Graduates




I'm not sure if this has any implications for YourPace students, but it's exciting to see nonetheless!

ETA: The new degrees are announced at 41:13 - Try this link: 2023 Virtual Graduation - YouTube

Just went to the Youtube version of this and there's a comment! Wow, that person persisted and completed their degree after 40 years!

Thank you UMPI team. 1983 to 2023....its been quite a journey from the first college credit to receiving this degree

My pic and quote were on screen. Did you meet the deadline for submission in April?

Glad to hear yours were able to get up there!

Yeah, I double-checked in my email to make sure it went through and responses were received by the deadline- all was well there. Not really sure what happened.

Haven't heard back from Lisa yet, but I also included in the email another query with regard to parchment not able to locate my degree, despite finishing in December - so that along with all of her other duties I'm sure she is tackling, may be delaying a response.
