us via ~ LIVE~ streaming video at
Commencement 2008! |
In addition to offering a live video stream of the Baccalaureate Service on Saturday night, June 7, and Commencement on Sunday, June 8, we are also planning to archive the video on the Andover Web site.
For the archive, which we will post on-line by Friday, June 13, our plan is to break down the video into segments, so that people can access that piece of the commencement ceremony in which they are most interested, be it the procession, the address by Head of School Barbara Landis Chase, or the speech by School President Tantum Collins. To find the links to the live video stream and the archived video, be sure to keep an eye on the Academy's home page at www.andover.edu. |
