The International Studies Program, after a long hiatus, once again took over Gertrude’s at the Baltimore Museum of Art on May 21st for the annual commencement reception. Students and their families braved the heat and humidity to celebrate the accomplishments of the Class of 2022. Highlights included presentations of the Robert Tucker Prize for Best Thesis in International Studies, shared this year by Sophia Lipkin and Hayne Park, and the second annual Pier Larson Prize for All-Around Achievement in International Studies, given to Faris Almaari.
Congratulations to all of our graduates! You do International Studies proud!
