Are you a graduating UA student?
You are invited to participate in our “Thank You UA” video.
We think this will be a great way for you to thank Alabama for your time on campus and it should be really cool.
It will feature graduating UA seniors from all walks of life and from all parts of campus and will serve a forever reminder of the impact the class of 2017 had on Tuscaloosa.
We will chop up your contributions and mash them together to create a cool collage of voices and faces.
If you would like to be in this video then please follow the directions below.
The deadline for you to send this video back is Wednesday May 3, at 12 PM CST.
It will be released the next day to the public.
1) Be sure to record yourself using either an iPhone or a computer webcam. Do not use any other form of smart phone due to issues with our software.
2) Film yourself in a quiet place. Make sure that you are looking at the camera and that there is enough light on your face so we can clearly see its you.
3) Be sure that the camera is focusing on your face, but also try to have some depth of field behind you- meaning don’t record yourself square up against a wall.
4) You don’t have to be perfect when you read the lines. Just read them slowly and clearly. And remember the tone of the video- thankful and full of gratitude but it is also fun.
5) We want you to include your own unique reason for why you are thankful for UA. There is a space in the script towards the end to include that. It should be thoughtful and unique to your UA experience- but also no more than 15 seconds in length.
6) When are you finished recording please upload the video to YouTube and then email us the link to [email protected] with the subject as [Your Name] Alabama Thank You Video.
Script: (This is what you will read on camera)

Mark Zuckerberg Calls For Universal Basic Income
Mark Zuckerberg called for the US to explore the idea of universal basic income in a speech to the graduating class of Harvard University on Thursday.
Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook dropped out of Harvard to focus on the company that would ultimately make him worth around $63 billion.
“We should have a society that measures progress not just by economic metrics like GDP, but by how many of us have a role we find meaningful,” Zuckerberg said in the speech, according to Business Insider. “We should explore ideas like universal basic income to make sure everyone has a cushion to try new ideas.”
Zuckerberg is in the middle of a 50 state tour of the United States and is considered by some to be a potential 2020 presidential candidate.
According to Mic, universal basic income is “an allocated payment that’s provided to individual adults instead of households, regardless of other sources of income and with no requirement for work.”
While its a controversial idea, some economic heavy hitters have come out in support of the program including Elon Musk.
