UVI ALUMNI BREAKFAST TO HONOR FIVE
June 5, 2003 – The University of the Virgin Islands Alumni Association St. Thomas-St. John Chapter invites the public to its first alumni award recognition breakfast at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, June 7, at Palms Court Harborview Hotel.
The honorees are Luna Claxton, Class of 1972; Doreen V. James, Class of 1983; Shirley J. Joseph, Class of 1974; Cyril Harrigan, Class of 1972; and Elise Vialet, Class of 1972.
Jacqueline Sprauve, UVI's Alumni Affairs supervisor, said the local chapter wanted to highlight their diverse members by recognizing a mixed segment of the group. This year the chapter will recognize the more senior alumni who were non-traditional students in the early years of the then-called College of the Virgin Islands. All of the honorees have made regular contributions to UVI, are active in their alumni chapter and attend UVI sponsored events.
The Caribbean breakfast will include fresh seasonal fruits, herbed scrambled eggs, smoked bacon and sausage, stewed or pick-up saltfish, wheat and white toast, homestyle hash brown potatoes, and (wheat and white) dumb bread and cheese. Drinks include assorted fruit juices, tea, coffee and bush tea.

NEW SWEDISH LAW PROVIDES FOR DUAL CITIZENSHIP
June 5, 2003 – For Virgin Islands residents who hold Swedish citizenship, or who previously did so, there is news from Maria Tankenson Hodge, Sweden's honorary consul for the territory.
Under a law recently passed in Sweden, Hodge said in a release, "a Swedish citizen who becomes a citizen of another country may now retain his or her Swedish citizenship."
Further, a person who forfeited Swedish citizenship by becoming a citizen of another nation before July 1, 2001, "may regain Swedish citizenship during the grace period which expires June 30." To do this, the individual must contact the Swedish Migration Board by June 30.
According to Hodge, after the grace period ends on June 30, "a two-year residence in Sweden will be required before you may apply to regain your Swedish citizenship."
The forms that need to be submitted to the board can be accessed online at the Migrationsverket Web site. The page comes up in Swedish, but an English version also can be accessed. Click on the left-hand menu "Citizenship" option.
