The month of May represents the end of the academic year. As the beauty of spring emerges, we experience bittersweet acknowledgments: of the work that remains to be done, the sudden anticipation of goodbyes, and contemplation of life after graduation.
Congratulations and thanks to all for the strength and determination you modeled during the challenging year of 2020–21.

Hannah McKenzie ’21 has received a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship, a prestigious grant that supports a year of international exploration for graduating U.S. college seniors.
During her year abroad, McKenzie plans to travel to South Africa, Uganda, Greece, and Switzerland to meet and talk with refugees about their traditional foods, their markets and restaurants, and how they are working to sustain and empower themselves.
“As an outsider, I will meet them in their worlds of expertise, contributions, and pride,” she says.
An anthropology major from the Maryland town of Stevenson, in Baltimore County, McKenzie is among 42 Watson awardees across the nation for 2021. Each Watson Fellow will receive $36,000 for 12 months of travel and college loan assistance, as applicable.
