Newswise — Vanderbilt family, friends and alumni will have the chance to get a firsthand look at Commencement events this year no matter where on the planet they happen to be May 10-12. For the first time, the university will be offering an online video web log, or vlog, of its Commencement celebration as seen through the eyes of two current students.
Vanderbilt rising senior Brittany Adkins and rising junior Kris Bahlke will be combing the campus during Commencement week, armed with digital video cameras, for the vlog, called StudentVU. The two will interview students and parents, capture video of the university's pre-Commencement party, this year featuring Kool & the Gang, the Senior Day address by First Lady Laura Bush and the Commencement address by Vanderbilt Chancellor Gordon Gee. Adkins and Bahlke will also offer their own commentary on what's happening on campus.
The project is sponsored by the Vanderbilt News Service and will provide a unique perspective on some of the most exciting days of the year at the university. It will also be archived, allowing future seniors to get a taste of what to expect of their own Commencement week.
The vlog will be updated frequently throughout the week of May 8. Go to http://studentvu.blip.tv to check it out.
