It’s that time of year. Graduation! Commencement! These events mark the end of a student’s academic journey, and hopefully the start of something new.

These rites of passage serve as important celebrations in a young person's life. Today, we talk to those responsible for making sure these ceremonies go off without a hitch!

Social media, AI and other technologies have transformed how these milestones are captured and organized. Attitudes around all this pomp and circumstance are changing too.

We’ll also hear about Connecticut’s Queer Prom.

GUESTS:

• Kristen Record: Physics teacher at Bunnell High School in Stratford, Connecticut and Senior Class Advisor
• Patrick Dilger: Director of Integrated Communications and Marketing Southern Connecticut State University
• Brayden Ransom: Community Impact Manager, The Health Collective
