Newsday's 2023 graduations submissions
Newsday is preparing its annual special section on the Class of 2023, and we would like to invite your school to participate.
We need your help in two areas:
- Valedictorian and salutatorian information
- Extraordinary Seniors nominations
Before you submit anything, please note the following:
- Do not send the information by letter or email. Use the following online forms for submissions, and access them at the links below.
- The grads@newsday.com email is no longer a valid place to submit this information.
- For questions, please contact Kimberly Yuen at 631-327-0960 or kimberly.yuen@newsday.com.
Extraordinary Seniors - due April 14
Our Graduation Issue will spotlight exceptional seniors Islandwide. To nominate a student, tell us about his or her unusual accomplishments, inspiring personal story or contributions to the school or community. This might be a student who has overcome a disability, volunteers for a local cause or has a unique talent. Click here to submit an extraordinary senior.
See last year's Extraordinary Seniors here.
Valedictorians and salutatorians - Due May 5
This form can be used for both valedictorians and salutatorians. Please submit one form per student. If your school has more than one valedictorian or salutatorian, simply submit another form. You can also specify if your students receive a different title (Honor Speaker, etc.) You will receive a confirmation email upon completion of each individual student's submission. Please submit by visiting newsday.com/valsalform.
Before you submit, please note the following:
- Confirm all the information in the form with the student before submitting
- Correctly sized photos can be obtained from your yearbook company
- All entries for valedictorians and salutatorians must be filled out in their entirety at the time of submission. You will not be able to save the information.
- If you do not have the college and projected major for valedictorians and salutatorians by the May 5 deadline, you can send this information to Kimberly Yuen at kimberly.yuen@newsday.com. Do not submit another form for corrections.
- Once the form is submitted we will not accept changes unless it involves the student’s college or major.
