Hi! I am Tassia Brittain and I am starting a human rights club at Vanden called Amnesty International. In the club, you will have a chance to work with others to learn about global and local human rights issues AND speak up about what you care about. Amnesty is a platform for you to learn about what is going on in the world, talk about it with others, and work to make a change, no matter how big or small. If you are interested in joining and making a difference, please let us know in this survey!! Thanks!

Reminder to seniors/early grads: An important message from Josten’s was emailed to you through Aeries communication. If you have not ordered, the deadline to order your cap and gown and other graduation items is coming up very soon. Please order before February 26th. It was difficult to get items produced and shipped last year due to Covid-19. Make sure to order now because items may not be available after the deadline. We want everyone to have their correct size. Link to Josten’s website is here: Josten's If you have questions regarding orders, please contact Josten’s directly at: grobeckoffice@jostens.com.
