When USC canceled the main-stage commencement ceremony, Jewish leaders on campus saw an opportunity.
Before about 19,000 graduates walked across stages on Friday to receive their degrees in smaller school satellite ceremonies, USC’s Hillel hosted a graduation event for Jewish students and their families — a moment to gather in unity amid weeks of campus turmoil over Israel-Hamas war protests. “A lot of people have been trying to take these joyful moments away from us,” said Mark Rayant, 26, who was earning his master’s degree in green technology.
“Two thousand Jews means 2,000 opinions. And no two Jews are the same.” After attendees took their seats, Cohn urged graduates to never let hostility define them. “We face losses and pains as a campus community, but the spirit of our ambition as Trojans empowers us to transcend those painful moments,” he said. Rayant, the engineering graduate student, said he had felt the sting of antisemitism before Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7.
