News + Events › Annual Student Events › Initiation and Installation Ceremonies
In the fall, the student-led Career Associations of JMG host Initiation and Installation Ceremonies. This is the formal induction of the students into the JMG program. Friends, family, community members and school administrators are invited to this ceremony.
The ceremonies vary from school to school, but share the goal of celebrating students involvement with JMG. In all ceremonies, JMG students are expected to present their Career Association to the attending guests. This often includes a recitation of the Career Association Creed, explanation of the Career Association offices and descriptions of planned community service learning projects.
