Virtual Graduation Ceremony

  Virtual Graduation ceremony

Students always treasure graduation ceremonies because it allows them to reflect upon their achievements and unforgettable moments, while also enabling them to connect with family, friends, and peers. Hosting commencement in Covid is a huge hassle for institutes, as well as for students. With vaccination on rise many institutes are still planning to hold in person commencement. The risk involved is real, as many students, deans, faculty, and family members who don't have vaccinations will miss their loved ones' graduations. Having classmates, siblings, family members, and faculty away from you when you graduate is unsettling. The best moments are shared with loved ones, and everyone deserves a good farewell. A number of institutes, including University of Maryland Eastern Shore, require graduates and their families to provide proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test report. There are many colleges that limit the number of guests, while Brown and Yale only let students attend the ceremonies. However, many institutes, such as Harvard, plan to hold virtual graduation ceremonies. Despite being a large concern in-person, safety still remains a prime concern. We invite you to learn about our preferred event solution if you aren't sure what the best option is for your event?

What virtual commencement has to offer?

What are some of the demonstrated and unrecognized benefits of holding a virtual graduation ceremony, besides the health and safety issues?

Infinite virtual capacity

It is standard practice to restrict the attendees of Convocations to the number of students, in which the students can invite a selected group of their family members in person but not virtually. Students are now able to invite their loved ones to their memorable convocations via virtual convocations, which has no attendance limit. By eliminating the physical venue, people from all over the world can attend the event, especially the families of international students who have missed the memorable days for years.

Efficacious

Hosting a virtual graduation ceremony has a lot of perks. Firstly, virtual events are more cost-effective than in-person events. In other words, the organizer can avoid the cost of catering, printing materials, decorations, renting gowns, venues, and any other costs associated with in-person events. Additionally, international students and even local students will be able to save on transportation and lodging costs. Lastly, this will help to alleviate the carbon footprints.

Highly customizable

Would you like to visit your institute one last time, but can't because other virtual platforms offer poor image quality or limited features? Are you looking for the same auditorium experience in person but not in pictures? You can do all of that and more. WasiVirtual provides high quality, highly customizable 3D events. In addition, it offers you the option to create 3D avatars featuring your graduating class in order to experience the live moment. 

Resources on demand

Didn't make it to your graduation or arrived too late. Don't worry, your event can remain available to students who were unable to attend it live or missed part of it. Even after the live event has ended, you can still access your presentations, data, and materials. By doing so, students and their families from different time zones will be able to join in, regardless of their schedule

Speakers of high profile

You probably have high profile Alumni or connections that you can invite to speak at the graduation ceremony. Your previous graduation may have been difficult to plan, because your speakers could not arrange to join the event. However, virtual graduation eliminates the distance and also allows your speakers to participate, no matter where they reside.

Zero Carbon footprint

Carbon footprints are almost always left by in-person events we attend. Materials, food, and waste all fall under this category. Virtual events, however, have eliminated environmental footprints. Despite no changes in the way the event is organized, a virtual event has a lower environmental footprint than an in-person event.

Adding memorable features to your virtual graduation

Event virtualized in 3D

We can enhance the realism of events with 3D customization. Avatars are created by students and dressed according to their tastes. Organisations can create their own institute, just like university settings, where all the buildings, classes, and everything looks the same. A student can now easily visit their university on one last occasion with their loved ones anywhere and anytime.

Streaming live webinars

We don't think a convocation should be held without live interactive webinars. Virtual events are the ideal solution to this problem. It enables multiple presenters to present live at an event around the world safely.

Chat live

The live chat feature allows students to connect with their peers, friends, family, deen, faculty, alumni and speakers to contact and congratulate them on their big day. They will be able to expand their network and meet new people.

Video embedded

You can prepare videos ahead of time that can be used during the graduation ceremony. A video welcoming you and your family members to your campus and congratulating you on your big day could appear in your lobby. During the event, you can display any pre-recorded video.

Students' Profiles

Students and members can customize their profiles and view each other's. You can ask them about their experience in the institute, their cherished memories, their career aspirations and much more. While celebrating and rearranging their room, the student, families and members can view the student profile.

Gamification

Using the gamification feature, students and their families even have a chance to win prizes, play games, take part in polls, go on scavenger hunts and learn facts about an organization or institute.

Interactive engagement

There are so many stories that students, family members, and alumni have to tell and virtual events provide a lot of ways to share those stories. Students, parents, faculty, and the dean can chat via text, voice, and video calls using our online chat feature. This will be another great opportunity to socialize, interact, and connect.
