Carter (M.A. ’95) — Sarah and Joseph Jr. Dowling Professor of Sociology and Peltz Ruttenberg Family Director of the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America at Brown University — emphasized the power of community and empathy to address our society’s most pressing issues. “In this moment, what the world needs most is precisely the kind of work you have been trained to do,” she said.
• Graduate Jihan Basyah (M.A ’26, Psychology in Education), shared fond memories from her time at TC and how it changed her as a person. “We may be leaving with one of the most prestigious degrees, but the most fruitful of it all is the character we got to build throughout our time here,” she said.
