SIT Graduation Procession

By pimadmissions
A joyful graduation exercise for about 100 graduates took place on the Brattleboro campus this past Saturday, complete with rhythmic global music and under a slightly cloudy but dry sky despite the fact it was raining in every other part of Vermont – a reminder of our wonderful SIT magic.
The day included an inspiring address by faculty member and alum Joseph Sebarenzi.

The speaker at graduation, Joseph Sebarenzi, holds an Honorary Doctorate from Marlboro College.  Mr. Sebarenzi presents conferences on peace, reconciliation, and human rights on the Great Lakes Region of Africa, and is a frequent guest on BBC and VOA broadcasting to Africa. Mr. Sebarenzi is engaged in a Ph.D. Program in Peace Studies at the University of Bradford. A Rwandan citizen and survivor of the genocide of Tutsi in Rwanda, Mr. Sebarenzi is also the former president of the Parliament of Rwanda (1997-2000) and a vocal advocate for peace, democracy, and human rights.   Click here to read an article written by Joseph on Rwanda.
