Congratulations to the Spertus Institute Class of 2012!
On Sunday, August 12, 2012, Spertus Institute celebrated its 40th Commencement Ceremony. This ceremony, the largest in in the 88-year history of Spertus, included graduates from the Master of Science in Nonprofit Management and Master of Arts in Jewish Professional Studies programs. Student speakers Tom Samuels and Hallie Blazar Raskin represented their fellow graduates with remarks about optimism and the importance of working in the nonprofit arena.
The Graduation Address was delivered by Rabbi Capers C. Funnye, Jr., the Rabbi and Spiritual Leader of Beth Shalom B’nai Zabek Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation. Funnye, whose travels have taken him from the Obama White House to New York City to lead the Martin Luther King celebration at the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue, passionately spoke to graduates on breaking down barriers so that nonprofit organizations can become more sustainable and serve the changing needs of clients and communities.
