Senior Edition: Class of 2014 Commencement Information
Morgan Franklin
Congratulations on making it to the last semester of your Senior Year here at Vanderbilt University!
Commencement is near and there are many exciting things that you all have to look forward to. Throughout the rest of this semester I will be sending you information about sign ups for Senior Pictures, Black Graduation, etc. If your family has not already booked their hotels and transportation for Commencement Week now would be a great time to do that!
Below is all of the information from Professor Rosevelt Noble about Senior Class Pictures. Please read it carefully and start booking your Senior photo shoot times!
Happy New Year,
Morgan Franklin
Senior Pictures!
In conjunction with the Black Student Alliance, Complete Capture will begin holding senior class photo sessions for the class of 2014 in early January. If you are not familiar with these photo sessions, you can review the images from the classes of 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 through the following link:

Your session will contain similar images with a few added modifications. I try to add something new with each graduating class!

The only cost that students pay up front is a $10.00 sitting fee. After your session you will have the opportunity to order prints of the images in your gallery. The four primary ways in which you may order images from your gallery are as follows:
Multi-Image Package Prices
Individual Digital Files
Digital Proofs CD
Class Composite
The senior photos are also used for the class composite that will appear inside the Black Cultural Center (BCC). With the sponsorship of the Association of Vanderbilt Black Alumni (AVBA) and the BCC, this is a new Vanderbilt tradition, in which the class composite will hang in the student lounge of the BCC forever! You can review an example of the class composites from 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 by clicking on the following links:
