Jewish stole
Title:
Jewish stole
Description:
Dr. Robert Satloff (T'83), then an undergraduate, wrote an op-ed in The Chronicle decrying the university's exclusive support of a Christian baccalaureate service. At his baccalaureate ceremony, he led a walk-out of Jewish students and families, leaving the Chapel in favor of a small gathering on East Campus. This was the first Jewish baccalaureate service at Duke, and it laid the foundation for a number of identity-based baccalaureates and graduations that are still celebrated today. Since 2022, Jewish Life at Duke has distributed stoles to graduating students to wear as part of their graduation regalia.
