On a damp and dreary day, the International Studies Program was a ray of sunshine as we honored the class of 2025 at the annual commencement reception at Gertrude’s May 21st. Co-hosted with the Department of Sociology, graduates and their families celebrated their accomplishment with smiles from ear to ear, tasty nibbles, and lively conversation. Congratulations to all our graduates, including Oliver Gao, recipient of the Robert Tucker Prize for Best Thesis in International Studies, and Elizabeth Peron, recipient of the the Pier Larson Prize for All-Around Achievement in International Studies. Take care, everyone, and keep in touch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
