Behind the Scenes Photos: The Making of Columbia Commencement 2021
As April 30 quickly approaches, we're taking a look at the process of filming and preparing for this year's virtual Commencement, celebrating the Class of 2021.
Commencement preparations may look a little different this year, but that doesn't mean there isn't a flurry of activity taking place on Columbia's campuses in anticipation of and preparation for April 30th's virtual Commencement. Throughout the month of April, filming has occurred across Columbia's campuses to put together a great celebration of our graduates even though we can't all be together at the same place at this time.
Rudy Rodriguez (GS'20), the Associate Director of Technology in the Office of the President, is the de facto multimedia producer for Commencement and has been capturing photos from behind-the-scenes of filming the whole month long. Scroll through his snaps below and see if you can identify all the places on campus where portions of the ceremony are being filmed.
