ITS extends congratulations to Ph.D. Candidate Orion Risk, who will be inducted into the Bouchet Graduate Honor Society.
The Bouchet Graduate Honor Society website states: “The Edward Alexander Bouchet Graduate Honor Society commemorates the first African American to earn a doctorate degree from an American university (Physics, Yale University, 1876). The Bouchet Society seeks to develop a network of scholars who exemplify academic and personal excellence, foster environments of support, and serve as examples of scholarship, leadership, character, service, and advocacy for students who have been traditionally underrepresented in the academy—exemplifying the spirit and example of Dr. Bouchet.”
This is a very prestigious honor that represents Orion’s hard work and dedication to Interdisciplinary Theatre Studies. Congratulations, Orion!
