Overview
From Shadowbox Design Management
For commencement at the Queens campus, the celebration includes a series of key events: an indoor doctoral hooding ceremony, a commencement chapel service the evening prior, and the main commencement ceremony held outdoors. To support the outdoor event, a full SAM 550 mobile stage was installed, along with comprehensive lighting and rigging systems, an audio line array, and a fleet of five professional-grade video cameras—including a JIB 3—for dynamic coverage. Mobile LED screen trucks were also brought in to enhance the audience experience. Our team provided large-format printed banners and signage, as well as custom video content for the on-site projection screens.
Throughout the planning and execution process, our team collaborated closely with the university's event staff to define the scope, manage scheduling, coordinate equipment load-in and load-out, and maintain strict adherence to the budget. From initial planning through final execution, we ensured every element contributed to a seamless and memorable commencement experience.
