Now that ceremony details have been covered, Hinds CC wants everybody to know about another way they can participate in graduation. When updating social media (e.g. posting a status on Facebook, tweeting via Twitter and/or uploading images to Instagram), be sure to include Hinds CC's Graduation hashtag, "#hindsgrad", somewhere in the post. Using this hashtag will allow Hinds CC to view, organize and share everybody's graduation experiences within Hinds CC and its extented family.
Hinds CC has set up a Fall 2012 Graduation Storify page that will be used as a place to experience graduation as it happens. This page will be updated with graduation related social media content before, during and after each ceremony. Curious to see what this page will look like? Check out Hinds CC's Summer 2012 Graduation Storify page to experience what graduation this past summer was like! After you have explored this page, feel free to encourage family and friends to include the #hindsgrad hashtag when updating social media so their content can be also added to Hinds CC's Storify page.
We're excited about Fall 2012 graduation and can't wait for everybody to be a part of this special occasion! Congratulations Class of 2012!
