Send your applause to our graduates

Send your applause to our graduates by producing a quick video of you clapping and cheering for 30 seconds. Winona State University employees can use any of these methods. Friends and family can use any familiar video production tool. We have included instructions for using QuickTime (Mac) and Microsoft Camera (PC). Kaltura Capture requires StarID credentials and is intended for Winona State University students and employees only.
