JS Grad 25

On May 16, 2025, UVA Jewish Studies hosted a graduation ceremony and reception for its graduating undergraduate and graduate fellows, majors, and minors. As each student’s name was called, a professor read a short tribute about the student, noting their academic achievements, personal qualities, or a fond memory, and wished them well in their future endeavors. Afterwards families, graduates, and professors interacted, sharing memories and wishing each other well. It was a joyous occasion!
