A company does it (apparently they use a 6' x 9' SELECO screen) with Media Services. Expensive. If you want details I can refer you to our Media Services people.

Since the ceremonies take place outdoors, standard projection isn't feasible. Does any other school provide these A/V aids? I can't imagine that it's financially or practically feasible to do for a graduating class of about 800 in a small outdoor space. (Placing a few large monitors around isn't what they're looking for, unfortunately.) Has anyone had experience doing this sort of thing? Thanks, Ed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Edmund N. Dente Director, Language Media Center Ph: 617-627-3036 Tufts University [log in to unmask] Medford, MA 02155
