Jewish Student Commencement: Aliyah
(Diversity)
The 1st Aliyah Ceremony, celebrating the accomplishments of Jewish graduates, will take place on Friday, May 3, 2013 at 4:00 pm in Colonial Hall in Squires Student Center. The Jewish Student Union (JSU) designed this ceremony to provide graduates with a positive and rewarding experience that recognizes them for their hard work and dedication to the community. Faculty members, mentors, colleagues and friends are a very important part of this recognition ceremony and are given an opportunity to acknowledge the achievements of a graduate. Each student that participates in the ceremony will receive a blue and white cord that they are able to wear during the University's commencement ceremonies. The Aliyah Ceremony will include a formal address by a chosen speaker to acknowledge individual graduates' achievements as well as a dessert reception following the closing remarks. The Jewish Student Union is hoping that you, as a faculty or staff member, would like to attend the Aliyah Ceremony to help us honor May's graduates. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP through the VT survey link (https://survey.vt.edu/survey/entry.jsp?id=1365715157675) no later than April 19th, 2013 at noon. Please note that you may need to copy and paste this link on to your internet browser. The Jewish Student Union hopes that you will add the Aliyah Ceremony on May 3rd to your graduation celebrations!
