Join Us: SOAR 2024 Parting Ceremony – Welcome to DU Village

Dear Dillard Family,

Thank you for your amazing support during today’s freshman move-in. Your warmth and dedication have already made our new students feel at home.

Now, I invite you to join us for the SOAR 2024 Parting Ceremony:
Date: August 15th, 2024
Time: 11:00 AM (Please arrive by 10:45 AM if possible)
Location: Lawless Chapel

Our theme, “Welcome to DU Village,” reminds us of the African proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child.” You and I are that village.
If you have African attire, please wear it to honor our rich heritage. Your presence in African dress will be a powerful welcome to our new students and their families.
Remember, you’re not just attending a ceremony; you’re embracing new members into our village. Your being there means everything.

With gratitude and excitement,

Rev. Herbert A. Brisbon III University Chaplain and Village Priest
