For our latest mission, we gave random New Yorkers the opportunity to give an inspiring commencement address. We set up a commencement ceremony in Bryant Park with graduates, faculty, and a lectern. The only thing missing was the speaker. A guy posing as the dean of the school recruited random people with hand-written sign that read, “commencement speaker needed.”
Enjoy the video first and then go behind the scenes with our mission report and photos.
















Thanks to everyone that spoke, and congrats to our fake graduates!
Mission Accomplished
