On April 23-24, Graduate Student Changemakers Jonell Bailey and Serginho Walker joined Graduate Dean Rabia Hos at the annual CGS Advocacy Day in Washington, D.C., in partnership with the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS). This event served as a wonderful opportunity for these students to meet with federal agency officials and Members of Congress and discuss issues impacting graduate education in the United States.
Jonell and Serginho are the recipients of the Dr. Sandra Holley-Carter Graduate Student Changemaker Award for the 2024-25 academic year, and both were selected for their deep commitment to leadership, academic excellence, and advocacy work in their respective fields as well as in graduate education.
Please join us in congratulating Jonell and Serginho on their accomplishments!
