Streaming video of the main ceremony will be available on the commencement website live during the event. In addition, we encourage students and their families as well as IIT faculty and staff to share the experience using social media.  Share your thoughts, congratulations to graduates, video, and photos from now until commencement and during the ceremonies and parties.  You can share them on Twitter using the hashtag #IITGrads2013 or on the IITGrads2013 Facebook page.

During the commencement ceremonies, there will be a live feed of commencement-related social media posts on the commencement website along with streaming video of the main ceremony.  Friends and family not attending in person can not only watch the ceremony live but see the photos, videos, and thoughts of the participants as they post them online.  Be sure to direct anyone who wishes to watch online to the commencement website, and bring your smartphones to commencement!

This program, which is a list of 15 campus programs/events, is geared toward helping first-year students fully experience what it is to be an IIT student. Campus Life is currently taking submissions for events that departments, student organizations or other IIT-affiliated organizations will sponsor for the fall 2013 semester. Having your event listed as part of the Freshman 15 won’t require any extra work for your department but will provide you with another avenue to market to students. We are looking for a mix of social, educational and traditional events.

Over the course of a summer, KPCB Fellows will be employed at KPCB’s portfolio companies, where they can develop their technical or design skills and be mentored by an executive within the company. Fellows will also be invited to attend private events held by KPCB and events hosted by portfolio companies, where they can meet other talented engineering and design students, network with luminaries in their respective field, and explore the San Francisco Bay Area.  Learn more at the KPCB Fellows site.
