Each year, thousands of students graduating from the aKahn School of Medicine attend their convocation ceremonies; a meaningful milestone on their long path towards a medical degree. 

But over the past two years, these ceremonies changed dramatically. Due to capacity limits, outbreak concerns, and testing logistics, students, faculty, and proud friends and family were faced with anticlimatic virtual events. 

Instead of accepting this new status quo, the aKahn School of Medicine turned to Sparx to transform a basic livestream into an interactive experience. Now hosted on the Sparx Studio platform, viewers can comment, participate in polls, and use the pulse meter to applaud graduates. To date, Sparx has powered five successful graduation ceremonies with the university.
