Five inducted into Bouchet Graduate Honor Society
April 12, 2021
Five Cornell doctoral candidates have been selected for induction into the Cornell chapter of the Edward Alexander Bouchet Graduate Honor Society.
The Bouchet Society recognizes outstanding scholarly achievement and promotes diversity and excellence in doctoral education and the professoriate. Its network of scholars exemplifies academic and personal excellence, character, service and advocacy for students who traditionally have been underrepresented in the academy.
The scholars were inducted at the annual Yale Bouchet Conference on Diversity and Graduate Education held virtually April 8-9 by Yale University. During the two-day program, all five of the inductees and Graduate School Dean’s Scholars Olumayowa (Bam) Willoughby, a doctoral candidate in Africana studies, and Carolina Gil, a doctoral student in development sociology, gave poster and oral presentations.
