Arts, Media, and Culture

Networking and informational interviews can advance your career aspirations. On campus, Alexandra Jones ’25 met Toby Bozzuto ’96, CEO of Bozzuto Group and �þ���Ƶ trustee.

During the December 2023 pre-law immersion trip to New York City, Cole Blair ’25 visited the U.S. District Court of Southern New York. Cole was inspired to pursue opportunities there and leveraged his professional connections to make it a reality.

Grace Carter ’24 networked with a �þ���Ƶ alumna at the RAND Corporation and then met a hiring manager at a public event hosted by the firm. Grace’s efforts were rewarded with a full-time offer to join RAND as a research assistant.  

This fall, Golden Fellow Ella Corbett ’24 will begin a master’s degree program in public affairs at Brown University. Another Golden Fellow, Joudenie Germain ’24, will pursue a law degree at Columbia Law School. “The John A.

Daniel Rodriguez ’24 will pursue a master’s degree in international affairs policy and analysis at American University in Washington, D.C. Jackson Fox ’24 gained acceptance to Tulane Law School in New Orleans. Jackson suggests that students pinpoint their preferences and get comfortable with taking risks.
